this is deja vu. we have this same discussion every year it seems- it's always the same arguments.

ravenwood had a carwash last saturday and five of their starters didn't make it. coach little, as a punishment, sat those players for the first half. the second half they were allow to play, this is the reason ravenwood ran away with the game in the second half and the first was much closer.

i am a journalism electronic media major and i have also played lacrosse for close to 10 years now. i will be at the game, if you are in desperate need of someone to help i guess i could.

i'm gonnaa have to agree with at least 5. we havent seen a ravenwood reply yet, so i am guessing this is been seen by all the coaches and players and coach told them to let the sticks do the talking. remember that franklin won state last year and got beat up by ravenwood 10-3- scoring all three in the second half, which must mean ravenwood was playing their second string kids. i wouldn't be surprised after all of this talk if ravenwood plays their starters the entire game.

this the most ridiculous post i've ever seen... there is a fine line between trash talking and arrogance.

wilson has committed to gettysburg college. it will be nice to see a couple of solid TN players stay together. hopefully both cahill and wilson will help gettysburg to a national title in a couple of years.

Jack Cleary by far best offensive player. I would take McConnell over Catterton. Catterton has more help on defense as well as middies; so you should take a look at the bigger picture before we all decide for sure. Both goalies are solid netminders though.

I agree with lax32, from all things that I have seen from Cahill, I am not that impressed. I will also agree with Redtwin when he says that there isn't really any other offensive threat vying for the award, however don't give it to Cahill by default either. I know Cahill is quick and has good vision, I played with him on a summer league team, but I am not quite sure about every other aspect of the game. Don't get me wrong I am not saying he isn't talented but I would like to see a little bit more from him, especially if he wants to be an all american.

I find it hard to believe that it was completely dominated by McCallie. According to the box score McCallie only dominated the second quarter.

after all the years of division one guys saying how worthless DII teams are i have to say i saw this coming. in their first year of being DI ravenwood took care of a top DI school. so i'd like to know where are all the excuses now?

Considering that Ravenwood beat both Webb, Farragut, Father Ryan, USN, and Houston and their only DI loss was to MBA 7-5. Makes a strong case for their team. I doubt they will go to the finals but I do believe they deserve to be DI.

Ravenwood will graduate 2 this year and 3-5 next year. Ravenwood's team is about 75% sophomores. The starting line up is about 80% - 85% sophomores.

DII doesn't matter?! All I have to say is I cannot wait until next year when another DII team moves up. I'm pretty sure that they are going to remember this thread and use it for motavation against some of you DI guys. If any of you DI guys actually get playing time for your team.

Division I - MUS over McCallie Division II - Ravenwood over Cordova/Lausanne Both will be close games...but we will see

As apart of UT Men's Lacrosse Team we would love for all of you guys to come out and play next year. We look forward to seeing you during the fall and hopefully into the spring of '06. We have a very strong group next year returning nearly all of our starters and the goal as always is to win the SELC.

wjr you are correct and donttalkjustlplay is incorrect, limestone is a division two school.

FYI- Reynolds is at the University of Tennessee and is not playing lacrosse.

MBA-7 Ravenwood-5 A close game I believe that it was tied 3-3 at the half and Ravenwood fell off a bit and MBA took it away. A close game between a top DI program and a DII school! Maybe the Divisional gap is closing more quickly than the DI kids believed. Hopefully we see this match up again next year.

wjrlax is right Alan Abbott for CHS is probably the best face off guy in the state. In Centennial's 6 games he is roughly 100 for 106 = 94%! This is no lie people. He loses maybe one face a game. We are still yet to see how he does against the face off guys from the better schools however. But watch out for this guy at the face off x.

Congrats to John Wilson for DII player of the week. Great job little bro, keep up the hard work.

I have to listen to Rage Against the Machine! All of those songs get me angry and pumped up to rip some people up. I highly recommend them for a pre-game mix.

Yesterday afternoon Ravenwood went to USN to play their 3rd game against a DI team, and for a third time they won. Ravenwood put up 13 to USN's 8. Ravenwood sophomore attack John Wilson had a break out game with 5 goals and 1 assist, sophomore midfielder Phillip Burke helped with the cause tacking on 3 goals and 1 assist. Unfortunately USN's stats are not yet up. So when they are I'll get back to this post and let everyone know how USN's threats Swanson and Chambers played.

I think that brentwood29 is confused with Rudolph instead of Price. But he is correct that the graduation of those two players play a huge part. Last year Rudolph and Reynolds scored 228 points collectively in ONE SEASON! I think it is literally impossible to replace 228 points. But don't count them out because they pulled the opposite of Centennial, they joined with another team instead of breaking up. Don't take this team lightly is all I have to say.

UT - 4 Miami, OH - 8
