While I think that is partially correct, our football team plays different teams than we do... Our football does not play Catholic, for example, or some other of our district teams. I think there is a different classification for football than there is for the rest of the sports. I just want to know how they came up with them.

After the multiplier, the TSSAA made new districts. Our division didn't change (since in soccer, there is a combined A/AA division) but our district did. Does anyone know how they come up with them? For example, we used to be in a district with Alcoa, A.E., Gibbs... etc which were very close. Now we are in a new district with Oneida, Scott County and Anderson County which are up to an hour away. What do they base it on?

Yes. It is true... it was 4-2 at halftime. (West in the lead).

I would agree, but you are talking about college football (big time college football) who have a say in who their players are. Most of the schools who are getting blown out are not a "Notre Dame".

Well, there is running up the score, and there is RUNNING UP THE SCORE. What I mean by that, is that for some teams, running up the score is 8-10 goals, but I have seen some schools put up 15-20. In the guy's league, I have seen up to 26! As far as boosting your stats, the prep xtra always lists the leading scorers, and sometimes you will have someone on there who has a bunch of goals... but they will score them 4 or 5 at a time against really weak teams. Give me a player that can score one goal on a top quality team, rather than someone who can score many on a poor team. A good college coach will look not only at how many they score, but on who they score against.

Man, CCS is a freight train!!! What a powerhouse! What about a Notre Dame CCS State Final (they could meet up)? Congrats CCS. Wish I could see you play.

mjuhb, you got WAAAY too much time on your hands! Good job man! I also like your poll. Well thought out, and pretty accurate. Are you involved with any program, or just an overall fan?

BigReno, I am stating that DB is involved in the site and its voting. Nothing conspiratorial, just that they helped with its development.

On the latest NSCAA poll, both Father Ryan and Collierville have gotten National Rankings. F.R. is ranked 8th nationally, while Collierville is ranked 22nd. This is all divisions. Well done!

The NSCAA has a poll that is voted on by other coaches from around the region. (But this is a regional and national poll). All I know for the Eurosport is that DB is involved somehow, but I am not sure of other coaches that vote. http://www.nscaa.com/rankings/hs/index_E.html NSCAA poll. Tennessee is in region 4 for girls.

Wow... I thought it would be closer than that. Looks like Seymore is taking that district with some force. Congrats, Seymour. Gscalf, I assume you are coaching them. I believe I know your dad... he is a good man. Good luck with the rest of your season.

I would LOVE to know what they based the districts on. It is not geography or size...

I think your vote is biased mtnman! BUT... I go with CCS as well. I would really like to see CAK get their act together, but until they do, I will say Catholic and CCS in the finals. Sorry Hoya, I think CCS might have it, but only by 1.

The results are not posted yet on our local site. Anyone know anything?

Players are not getting injured heading the ball. The injuries occur when they head other players. Hoya brings up a good point that I have not thought about. As usual, wise beyond his years!

My deepest apologies if you were offended. Here are some of the rules of posting: Be Aware: While all opinions are welcome, we do not tolerate mean-spirited, antagonistic, flame baiting posts.

Be Welcomed: If you are looking for a message board that encourages civilized discussion and a relaxed environment, this is your place to be.

Because those posts, while bringing up valid points, tend to cause more problems than they solve. I think that a Smyrna player would have a hard time reading or responding to those posts. I also am one of the moderators that get the "reports" or complaints, and I have received more on this thread than any other. As far as Macmom, I do think she owes an apology to scorpionking. Whether she does that or not, is another issue. Guessing by her screenname, I would assume that is a mother of a smyrna player, who has had a bad experience with a former coach. I hope that they can work out the problems. It just seems that you guys are kicking a dead horse, and not getting a whole lot of answers. I could be wrong (it happens more often that one would like). We'll see where it goes.

Enough. This accomplishes nothing but starting more problems. You have made your point, now find something else to talk about.

Congrats! That is quite an accomplishment on any team. Good luck with the rest of your season. Is she a senior, and will she play anywhere after highschool?

No, the post time is kinda weird. I don't know what time zone it is in, but it is not eastern... sorry to dissappoint you guys.

Sounds great to me. That is what this site is all about.

It is very easy to sit behind a computer screen and vent about this coach and that coach, or how one feels about different opinions. The anonimity of a screen name also gives the person the courage to say things they would not normally say face to face. Sounds like one person doesn't like a coach, and others do. That's how athletics are. I don't think that seekinghisface will convince tuffnstuff otherwise. I think that tuffnstuff could have posted his/her opinions a little more tactfully, but I am sure that they feel very passionate about their opinion. This whole website is about opinions. Agree to dissagree.

Welcome back, Jorj. Hopefully your players would also have uniforms... But back to the topic, I agree with tweeter. I don't think you would be very successful getting guys to wear them. I would be curious to know if any of the pros that wear them are NOT getting a stipend or paycheck from the company that makes them. I do think they would make a difference (although I would probably never wear one). Our captain cracked the bone in his forhead against Morristown East when he headed the back of another player. Sounded like celery breaking... it was awful. Who knows? Maybe they will catch on.

The tie rule is TSSAA regulations. I'm really not quite sure why they do it, though.

This is their schedule, but they have not posted results... 08/16 * at Greenbrier (2-2-0) 6:00 PM 08/18 Jackson Co (0-0-0) 5:00 PM 08/23 * Merrol Hyde (0-1-0) 5:00 PM 08/25 Smith County (0-1-0) 4:30 PM 08/30 East Robertson (1-3-0) 5:30 PM 09/08 * Portland (0-2-0) 5:00 PM 09/13 * at MJCA (0-2-0) 6:30 PM 09/20 * at Station Camp(07) (4-2-3) 5:00 PM 09/27 at Smith County (0-1-0) 4:30 PM 09/29 at White Co (0-1-0) 5:30 PM 10/04 * White House (2-5-2) 6:00 PM 10/06 * at Friendship Christian School (4-3-0) 4:30 PM I don't know too many of those teams. Props to overcome what they have, though. Keep it up.
