Cleveland 2 Riverdale 1

Well the 3 years McMinn County made it, we drew the #1 team each time. 2003--Farragut 2004--Farragut. We were ranked #2. Lost 7-4. Only team to score on them in Memphis 2005--Hendersonville. There has never been rhyme or reason to the brackets. I was always told that it was a blind draw and that it is just an honor to make it to the State Tournament.

We were hoping to finish it. No one wants to end like that. but according to TSSAA format, once you have played a half, its official. Was hoping to finish it tonight or friday--but state said it was a done deal. Good luck to both teams.

What a GREAT HS match!! It is a shame that someone had to lose. Both teams left it all on the field. I think we have played 4 of the last 5 years in the Region tournament, if not 5 straight years. Two good teams/programs. My heart goes out to the two brothers who missed their PK's. See you guys next year in district play.

MVM, I truly understand your heart pulling for Soddy. To be quite honest, it will depend on which McMinn Team shows up. We have given GREAT efforts against Farragut, Cleveland, etc. Then we have , as you have said, let teams hang around with us--example Walker Valley (no disrespect to the Mustangs. We should have scored 3 goals or more while their starting GK was at track meet). Also, we havent always had the best luck at the Ancient Ruins. As for the cards, we have gotten better as the year has gone along. The Cherokees will only get 1 yellow--and it wont be to coach--I have 0 for 2009. I am sure it will be a great match.

MVM, Who wins the AAA semifinals on tuesday??

Just based on Blackman's ranking, this appears to have been a huge upset. Was it??

A) the match will be played at Cleveland. They are the #1 seed so they will host @ 7pm--Mousecreek. 2) We may bunker in, we may throw #'s at them like we did at Bearden two years ago. Depends on my mood for the day. That being said. I just hope playing OT in the semi-finals tonight wont slow us down.

this leads to a great question. A) What are the responsibilities of all parties if a brawl breaks out? Can anyone answer?

not knowing any information. I would suspect that some team rules MUST have been violated.

MVM I love the comment about the hunter. Please dont tell my team though. We like being the underdog.

The Chattanoogan.com has the top 10 coming out on Monday. MVM, i appreciate you putting the Cherokees @ #5. but the Baylor Red Raiders put a pretty good beating on us, so i dont think we should be above them. As for the Chargers, I agree. We had better be ready.

Was wondering how the Lady Cherokees from McMinn County has done

Our District (5AAA) states that it is a 3-0 win. due to the fact that we have a 3 goal max when it comes to goal differential.

A. You cant make me stop posting on this topic. We have played both teams, so i feel we can comment all we like. b. I was not looking for a problem.
