You are referring to Franklin Road Academy. The article was about FRA and JPII. JPII won 3 - 2 in a preseason scrimmage. FRA tied JPII in a regular season game last Thursday, 1-1. Great game. Both teams are very talented. Two of the best teams in the state in my opinion.

FRA tied Brentwood

If you are not interested in soccer, why don't you stick to the sports that interest you and stay off this forum.

It's my understanding that players can't participate in any way with their club team during high school season if they play for their school, which includes practices. Some club coaches, probably most, would practice if allowed to. My guess is that the rule helps prevent overuse injuries and allows the player to consentrate on their school season without pressure from their club coach.

They won't. TSSAA rules will not allow a player to participate in both during the same season. Most Club teams will reassemble as soon as high school season ends in late Oct., (at least for those that get to state) and begin practice, play in-door or go to a tournament.

Are Soccer boards closed already??? All other boards appear to be open. There is still interesting dialog on the soccer boards? Why is the soccer board closed and girl's basketball open but soccer boards appear to be closed???

Yes you were right Alex Mullins (FRA) is going to Bellarmine a DII school (I'm pretty sure) in KY

how cool is that? go FRA! Ya'll better own in state!

Haha I'd love to tell you, but I'm on the girls team. I follow the guys, cuz well, they are my friends. But I watched the game, I wasn't at the ND game cuz I had a travel tournament while the CCS tournament was going on. So, yea I'm on the FRA girls team.

No one said BA played bad... they played really well... they won. Everyone knows that. We are just saying that FRA had the potential to play alot better than they did. And goodness, it doesn't even matter because FRA and BA aren't even in the same district. I mean BA played with heart and outplayed FRA during that game. No ones being a sore loser, it's just always frustrating to know that your team could have won had they played up to their potential. You can't disagree with me there. But yes, good job BA.

Ok yea you won.. good job. Now you can say you beat FRA, just know that when you are saying it, you didn't get their best game. Personally, when I play a soccer team I would much rather win when I play a team at their best. But whatever. It shouldn't really matter all that much anyway. Everyone agrees that the officals were pretty bad, but hey it happens. It's over. Just be glad that you won't run into FRA any other time this year because it would be a completely different game. Yea you saw Davenport and Mullins and McDonald and everyone else, but to be completely honest, it wasn't a good showing of their talent. If you wanna see what they are all about you can come to any other game. Then you'll get a good taste of what FRA soccer is all about. But congrats on the win, it's over so ... yea.

you may not be disputing that they are a good team, but you sure are being hostile toward FRA

BGA and Brentwood weren't post season.. they was PRE-season. And JumpAround... why are you so adament on trying to believe and make others believe that FRA isn't good? Plus Notre Dame wasn't their best game. There were some mistakes made and I'm sure on any given day.. given they play them again sometime, I'm sure FRA would beat them. Hey, you can't expect never to run into any bad luck. It's part of the game. In soccer sometimes the best team doesn't always win. But as far as scheduling goes... how do they have an easy schedule? They've played and beat everyone in their district. As far as that goes, you can't pick your district because if you could I know Coach McDonald would gladly put FRA in a harder district.

They have played mba and bga and brentwood though bga and brentwood were in pre-season. i dont think they played franklin but i think he was just naming what good competition is around here not necessarily that they had played them all. MBA was a 2-0 game... i think? BGA was a 0-1 loss but it got rained out after like 15-20 minutes. Brentwood was held to a 0-0 tie. So there ya go.

Whoa.. wait... were you at the right game? CPA's keeper had some crap saves only because FRA kicked a few RIGHT at him... so really I don't know what you are talking about. Mullins had at least 6 maybe more saves. There wasn't once when he didn't come out on a ball or didn't have his hands on it. So I don't know what you were watching. Everyone I talked to remarked that he had an amazing game. Heck, even CPA people were impressed. So say what you want, he had a good game and FRA overall had an ok showing. It took them awhile to get into it, but hey 3-0 so can't complain. Go FRA!!

try "jeremy" hawkins.. but hey yea close enough? lol

ThatGuy.... aren't you supposed to be the president of your highschool? Aren't you supposed to give your school a good name? Looks to me as if you are giving David Lipscomb a BAD name. The subtitle of this post said "Rep your schoool"... I don't think you're doing a good job of that so far. You can share your opinion in a way that isn't always talking smack. But yea.. I suggest in the future, remember that your posts ultimately reflect you and your school.

FRA has an excellent catcher in Laura Mathews. She has signed to play D-I ball for Dayton. She's a two year captain and this year already has 21 pick offs. good job Laura!

David Lipscomb should be ok this year. I do know of a couple players that they have that are supposidly pretty good. I haven't seen them play myself but I know a few of them. Let's just say one thing... they won't be as bad as the girls were this season. **Plus Lipscomb is an Elementary school, a middle school, a highschool, and a college. It goes from Pre-K 4 to College... so technically you could go there your entire life... if you wanted to that is.

funny how yall do argue about the stupidest things... but the point here is that cpa and fra are rivals... no stats dont always let you know either way if someone is good or not, but i guess everyone will just have to wait until fra and cpa play... though just to say... i am with FRA all the way... and i do believe that Mullins is an awesome keeper... you know just to add to everything

I am DEFINITELY no mom of someone on the team... in fact.. I'm not a mom. I said Mullins because I've seen him play and he's really really good. Though only in pre-season, I've seen him make some amazing saves that I couldn't believe he actually stopped. He can come out of no where with a fantastic save. Fact of the matter is... he's got talent. That's all there is to it. Make all the excuses you want, but it's true.

Alex Mullins - FRA

Oh yea in my opinion Alex Mullins is the best goalie ever!! (on a side note - Alex you have the coolest hair haha) I can't wait to see FRA play this season. GO PANTHERS!!

Yea, that is unfair, i went to Lipscomb and there is absolutely no recruiting. It just so happens that every grade has a couple good athletes (just like every other school) and when brought together they make a great team. It also helps that these guys have a great work ethic. It's a great combination and has been unstoppable so far these past two years. So give credit where credit is due. Lipscomb has a fantastic team and I hope will go really far because these guys deserve it! Go Mustangs!! Best of Luck from a former Mustang Maniac haha
