Congrats to Baylor on a great end to their season! Both the offense and defense really stepped up when it counted, as Baylor scored 5 out of the 10 goals in the tournament, and shutting out two very high-powered offenses from Ryan and CBHS.

Michael Deere, JB Murphy (seniors) and Zander Davis (Junior) play for East Ridge Express '89 Kelly Smith (Junior) has played with IMG but I am pretty sure will be playing with TNFC '90 Carter Paden and Chris Wilson (Juniors) play for PSA '90 David Burt and Chris Clemmer (Sophmores) PSA '91 and Danny vanValkinburg and Andrew Roden (Juniors) played with CFC until they recently disbanded

Haha so true. I guess you can really see a person's true character when put in a situation where they have just lost their season. Many people will agree that the best from the east region was between Baylor and McCallie. It is frustratiing that both could not contend for the state title. Either way, The best of luck to Webb next year.

baylor 1-0 father ryan final

I just wanted to put in the that Bayylor beat MUS 3-1 and not 2-1.

The D2 East Region 1 and 2 seeds are yet to be determined, as Baylor and Webb will play Tuesday, so some of those matchups could change.

Deere is going to Clemson on academic scholarship, and said he is going to play club ball in the fall and then plans on trying to walk on in the spring.

Baylor continued their scoring drought Monday against CSAS and did not manage to score on King's Academy until the second half before scoring three. I guess they have just felt sort of jinxed over the last few games. And as for the Notre Dame game on Saturday, Baylor will not be playing any starters in that game as to avoid injuries before the region tournament.

Junir Danny vanValkinburg of Baylor has allowed only 2 goals in 9 games. He had a very low goal percentage last year as a sophmore as well (i think about 5 ga), and in my opinion is clearly one of the top keepers in the state

I agree that Ryan has been doing much better in the latter part of their season, but not much credit has been given to Baylor for the last part of their season. Baylor lost 2 games, one to Knox Catholic and one to McCallie, and both games were 1-0 games. Baylor ended up beating McCallie in the region finals. I'm quite unbiased between these two teams, but Baylor's record and season stats are hard to count out. I also watched the Baylor/Ryan game in which, even though it was a 1-1 tie, Baylor controlled the game. I would definitely give Baylor the upper hand in this game.

I think this will be a close fought match, but Webb will take Baylor to town with a 2-1 win. Webb wants revenge for their unlucky loss against Baylor earlier in the season. What do you think?

I think that if Notre Dame plays as well as they have been recently (such as when they tied Baylor 2-2) then McCallie will only win 2-0 or 2-1. Having seen both teams play on more than one occasion leads me to think this will be a hard fought game, but it would be extremely surprising if Notre Dame somehow pulls through with a win.

I'm somewhat confused as of the the the top 3 teams on the last list. It is quite well known that Chris Bach is Baylor's deadliest striker. Last year's season yielded Notre Dame losing Robby Miller, top player in the city, and other assets, and McCallie lost some support from last year's class as well. Baylor lost a couple players but not to much on the attacking end. Without Chris Bach last year, Baylor beat Notre Dame 3-0 and McCallie 4-0. Think of it any way you like, but I'd give Baylor the upper hand this year, no questions asked.

Baylor plays bearden friday at 7 and then on saturday baylor plays PJP2. both games are at baylor and should be pretty good

we are having a practice this thursday night(may 26) at 6:45 at camp jordan, its not really official tryouts but it will let the coach get a good look at some of the new players, practices will be pretty regular after that, not really sure on the dates yet though or how much it costs. I know its not that expensive compared to other teams

Who do y'all think will win the semifinal games tomorrow? Baylor plays Knox Catholic and McCallie plays Notre Dame. Both games should be good. Baylor and Catholic tied 0-0 earlier and Mccallie has beaten Notre Dame 2-0.

bring as many players as you want, and in response to your question about where the players are from, we have a handful from Lakeview-Fort O, two or three from Baylor, a couple from Red bank, east rifge, pretty much all over.

The result of the ND-King game was a 6-0 victory for ND. Knox Catholic beat Knox Webb 1-0. The semifinals are both scheduled for Tuesday. Baylor plays Catholic at 5:30 @ Baylor while Notre Dame plays @Mccallie at I think 5:00.

also, soccer wv freak, what is your background soccer experience, what position do you play, etc.

I play on a team from East Ridge (Chatt.) and we are always looking for more players. We're a u-17 team who finished 2nd in the div 2 tournament as u-16 this past fall and are moving up to division 1 this year. This will be our second year as a team and i think we wil be pretty competative in d1. Tryouts are june 14 at east ridge. Call coach Sheldon Grizzle @ 629-0117 for more info. We are looking for both a keeper and field players. We need some strong forwards.

The game is Thursday at 7 PM. I hope to see everyone there.

Who do y'all think are the most underrated players in the state? Give their name and school.

You're right if Catholic beats Notre Dame on Monday, then they will be the top seed in the East. But if they tie or Notre Dame wins then Baylor will get the top spot.

Also, I was at the game and Baylor's senior night was not 'ruined' by this loss. They still had their cookout and activites and just sook the loss off and moved on. What really bothered me was the way the Grace players reacted after the win. After the game a few of the players, not all of them, started yelling money can't buy you skills, making catcalls to baylor's managers, and other things like that. The Baylor guys were much better sports in defeat than the Grace boys were in a win.

Even though there is no such thing really as a good loss, this might not be all that of a bad thing for them, maybe this game will be a wakeup call for them. After beating Mccallie and notre dame like they did they were probably a little cocky going into the game and underestimated grace. I think it is better that they got the loss to grace than in a region tourney game which would really ruin thier season.
