because i am a senior

honestly we just didn't step up and play well enough to win. bradley played exceptionally well also, and were up 2-0 about 5 minutes into the match. we were able to cut it to 2-1 about 2 minutes later, but were just off the rest of the game. definately not the way i wanted to end my career, but not taking anything away from bradley, the earned the win. good luck to all district 5-aaa teams the rest of the year. assuming any games get played this week...

bradley 4-1

yah we finished 0-3-1, in 5th i am assuming, i guess we'll be facing bradley in the play in game again since cumberland beat them, but i'm not real clear on how all this is gonna shake out

tied 1-1. we were up 1-0 with about 2 or 3 minutes left when the refs decided to be heros and call a hand ball in the box, resulting in a p.k. the ref made the call from roughly 70 yards away, and made the poor call in awarding a penalty kick. it wasn't even in the box in my opinion, i was right there next to the play and saw it happen. the cumberland coach even said 'rhea county you guys won this game and got screwed, you deserved to win it'. its just part of it though, not to take anything away from cumberland, they played great, its just too bad it had to end in such controversy.

does anyone know who won this match?

what breaks a 3 way tie in a district? goals scored or goal differential? or something else...? anyone know? [Edited by soccerfan423 on 4-23-03 8:47P]

i think all of our scores are on our schedule page on coacht...we are not having the kind of year we were hoping for. we start several freshmen and guys who haven't played before, all of them are miles ahead of where they were in march, but we just aren't scoring. our defense has improved a great deal...but offensively we can't seem to put shots away. for example, in our last game against loudon, we outshot them 26-9 and lost 3-1. so the opportunities are there, we just aren't finishing. but i think that in the future rhea county will continue to improve with coach mitchell there, he really has made a huge difference.

does anyone know who won this game a few days ago? soccer info has it being 4-1, mcminn. a score this close seems a bit suspect, but who knows...any info would be appreciated

rhea lost to chatt. central 4-0. we really didn't show up and play well at all. don't count on that happening again, at least i sure as heck hope it won't. cumberland tied anderson county 1-1. thats all i know of.

any news on the cumberland county/anderson county game tonight???

Does anyone know anything about the Purple Pounders team this year? We've got them at home on Tuesday. Thanks.

I am looking for a scrimmage for this Friday, March 7. We have had several cancellations due to mud this year so I would like to get one more in before the season starts. If you are interested, contact me at pamitch@juno.com thanks, Pete Mitchell Rhea County Boys Soccer

oh,well glad that is straightened up. Rhea's game against ooltewah today has been canceled, ooltewah called and said they couldnt make the trip but the Walker Valley game is still on at 5:30 assuming the field will be playable they have been working on getting the water off all morning

drsoccer, nice predictions. however, we (rhea) beat bradley twice last year, 2-1 in the regular season and 3-0 in the district tournament. i just don't see how we are still considered behind them too. maybe the rest but we were clearly better than bradley last year and since all that anyone can go on for next season is what happened last year, i don't see us being behind bradley. just my opinion.
