Baylor is looking for one more girls team to enter the Baylor Tournament on August 26-27, 2016. Tournament includes GPS, East Hamilton, Notre Dame, Baylor, Collierville, Houston, and Briarcrest. The team could play East Hamilton, ND, Baylor, or GPS. Would play three of these four teams.

Baylor Invitational in Chattanooga, TN, March 13-15 

I am not saying the tournament should be held in Chattanoga. I just wish they would think outside the box and have a quality location to host the games. We all agree that TSSAA is going to do two things: 1) Do whatever makes them the most money 2) pick the easiest choice so they don't have to work.

I think over the next 5 years could be very important for high school soccer as club players are going to start having choices to make; whether to play club or high school soccer? It's coming but again thats another topic for later.

If we can put a quality state championship tournament that the players remember and not remind them of a club tournament then it helps to keep those quality soccer players playing high school soccer.

For example the girls state tournament could be held:

AAA at Siegel Soccer Complex Stadium Field Only

A/AA at MTSU Soccer Complex

DII at Vanderbilt Soccer Complex

Rotate the locations every year.

Just my thoughts!

I understand all of your arguments but you must start to think down the road a bit. The state tournament for the boys is no different than a club tournament for the boys. Now that we move closer and closer to players starting to decide whether to play high school vs club (that is a different subject at a different time) that we need to make each state tournament (girls and the boys) special but different than a club tournament atmosphere. As a spectator, it is easy to see many games at a complex but for the players, it is just like another club tournament. Talking to many players on the boy’s side, they think it reminds them of a club tournament compared to talking to the girls. The girls enjoy being the only team playing at one field. Can this be accomplished at Murfreesboro? Yes, but I think it needs to be looked at before you move the tournament. Just my opinion.

Does ND even have a soccer field? How can one of the best teams in Tennessee not have a field.

I can not speak for every class/poll but I do know that DII AA (Large School) sends an email out to every coach once a week and the coaches vote for the top 6 teams in the state. With school being out on Monday(Labor Day) we are one week behind. For this poll the coaches do vote which is the way that it should be since the coaches play all of these teams and gets to see them on a regular basis.

If you check the DII rankings on eurosportscoreboard it is now updated.

Should be out by this Friday.

I heard that coach Russ Plummer (Hendersonville High School) was in a accident at Drakes Creek Park today.

I am not sure all the details but please keep him in your prayers. If anyone has details of his condition please share.

CREE,

lewis ledbetter or Daniel Tackling. Who is better?

I know their was changes in the coverage at the paper but I felt like soccer took a back seat this year. Jamie Lackey did a good job when she did it but I just felt like they are getting spread so thin and soccer suffered this year with the new changes.

Did anyone else see that as well? Do you think it will get better?

Their are alot of great players that have had wonderful seasons but the best player in TN is Susannah Dennis from BGA hands down.

The Good News is Georgia is getting a great player!

The Bad News is she is only a junior and still has a season left for the rest of us to play against!

Baylor 5-0 over Hutchison

GPS wins in PK's over St. Agnes

Anyone know the BGA-Father Ryan and ECS-Brentwood Academy score?

Does anyone know the scores from the West?

Thanks!

Please post any Division II scores here.Thanks!

I have the following:

GPS 3 siegel 1

Brentwood Academy 4 JPII 0

St.Agnes 7 Ridgeway 0

Harpeth Hall 2 Ensworth 2

It will be interesting this year. I know that Baylor plays SD, Ooltewah, GPS, CCS, and ND this year so we will have to wait to see who is really number one in Chattanooga (that is including the surrounding areas as well).

Is Brittany still playing right now or is she taking time off to heal?

Does anyone know of any scores from the CCS playday?

Ooltewah will be in the middle of the class for their district. SD and Red Bank should be fighting for #1 and #2 while Ooltewah will be fighting for #2 or #3 spot.

Coach Woods, knows what she's doing when it comes to basketball. With her experience with coaching soddy last year, she helped the boys know how to guard Soddy's point guard. Tney did one heck of a job playing defense against them, and their foul shot % was pretty good. From what I hear, she told them in the locker room, that all they had to do on the free throw line was to do everything theyare comfortable with shooting but rememeber to follow through with your wrist. They shot very well, and they actually looked like a guys team that plays offense. She is an amazing coach, and it was a very close game, Ooltewah could have easily won that game. Soddy really did get lucky. Good Fight to both teams
