That's funny and sad at the same time. Our girls wouldn't have known this year if it hadn't been for this message board. We weren't aware the assoc. had changed. Maybe they will get it out faster next year.

I knew the list was the correct TACA list. I figured someone released it early. Usually our coach calls the girls if anyone made it but only after TACA has "officially" released it. Then the local papers print it in some really small print in the "Scoreboard" section of the sports page. So far the girls haven't been called and the paper hasn't printed anything. It came out so long after the season ended maybe everyone forgot, lol. Hope they do a better job getting it out earlier next year. 2 l/2 months after the season ends seems kind of ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure the Eurosport All-State list is the TACA All-State List. There are only two All-State lists I'm pretty sure, TACA and TSWA. Has there even been an official TACA list released yet? The only TACA list I've seen has been on CoachT, on this message board. There hasn't been anything in the local mid-state papers as far as I know.

It is just my opinion, but stats don't always reflect the worth or contribution that a player makes to their team. I think it goes well beyond just stats. Stats can also be manipulated by allowing players to run up their personal numbers against weak teams if a coach allows it. My daughter's coach never allowed a player to score over 3 goals and usually not over 2 against any team, weak or strong, while some coaches allow players to score 5 or more on a weak team. It doesn't show the real skill of either player. While I also don't agree with every name on not only the 1st team but also the 2nd and 3rd, I am sure the ones choosing had their own reasons for their choices and for the girls that made any of the teams and any other "All" list, I say Congratulations! With all the talent that exists in Tennessee, it's great to get recognized on any list.

TSSAA doesn't choose All-State awards. All-State Awards are chosen by the Tennessee Athletic Coaches Association (TACA) and the Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TWSA). These usually come out around Christmas. There are other awards from the NSCAA, National Soccer Coaches Association of America, that also come out around Christmas, but I think they are based on more than just a players soccer stats, not really sure. They award All-South Region, All American and Academic All American honors.

Thanks ss. That was an incredibly difficult game to play with that much water on the field! It was more like a swim meet. You girls play with alot of heart and you should be very proud of your effort. Your team has an amazing goalie. Best of luck for the rest of your run. You have much to be proud of!

It was 6-0

I'm pretty sure that the teams you mentioned already play some of the stronger Div. II teams...by choice. Playing better competetion is what helps them become the teams they are and gets them to State. It ain't no picnic but it's worth it. If Sweetwater is good enough, they will get their chance as well. Sounds like you're going somewhere else with your comment... please don't. It gets old.

I am an FRA supporter as well, but on any given day...as the saying goes. The FRA girls don't overlook any team and know that every team they play wants it just as bad. That is why they as well as Coach gives respect to each team they play on and off the field. And that is where it will be decided tonight, not on Coacht. Since FRA has not played Fairview, and Fairview has been playing well, I wouldn't count them out. I'm sure both teams will give it their best effort. The weather could also make it difficult for either team to look good tonight!

I'm not sure that lack of comments equals lack of respect. Fairview should be proud of their record this season and especially of the impressive upsets in the last few games. Small town also does not equal lack of talent, smart teams know this. This team has achieved much this season and should certainly be proud. Fairview will be respected and not overlooked by FRA, I assure you. Either way both teams have earned their place in the Sectionals on Saturday, good luck to both.

It sounds like the Fairview vs DCA game came down to an exciting end. Does anyone have details?

Ashley Lance, way to go!!! You make FRA proud. Great job! Hope the Soccer team can do as well! Again, good job

Flash, you know who I love...you should also know what I REALLY think. No offense intended, I was only kidding with all the serious "who can take who" discussion.
