This thread should have stopped right there...

CAsoccergirlie - I'm not trying to be rude so please don't take it that way... but Travel soccer plays under the FIFA rules which are frequently different than TSSAA.... it might be the same for this call though...

FIFA rules say you are allowed to. Anything that doesn't come off of your foot the keep is allowed to pick up. Please keep in mind that this is the FIFA ruling... I'm not sure about TSSAA...

yes, they are

thanks

how did Independence fair with Brentwood yesterday?

soccerplayer - who told you he wouldn't be playing?

CPA 2 at Fairview 3 Freshmen keeper in for Fairview most of second half

they actually lost two seniors - Steven and Ryan Brison. Both good friends of mine

It's just that. A scrimmage. You can only learn so much by playing against your own team or switching to offense vs. defense. So maybe Fairview doesn't have the same skill as Franklin, it gave them (franklin) the opportunity to get out and play, practice what they learned, and move on. Going by what you are saying forward 88, Franklin and Brentwood should spend every game playing each other and no one else. Ca7 - I don't know any of their players so I'm not sure who was playing there. I think it was numbers 10 and 29 though.

As far as level of intensity- maybe you aren't playing with/against the right teams. If you ever get the chance to step on to the field against a really competitive team (I know there are a few of those across the state), let me know what that feels like. I love watching football. I follow my school to every home and away game - preseasons scrimmages, regular season, and post season play off games. It's an awesome game to watch. One reason I love watching so much is because I can no longer play. It is a physically tougher game than soccer. Not to say soccer isn't tough, football is just tougher. I still play soccer and love it just as much. Something about the game that I just can't place, but it is really a great game. As much as I enjoy both games, I'm going to have to agree with what a handful of people posted earlier, football is the game to watch, soccer is the game to play.

for pitting an scrawny, undersized Fairview against a bigger (in both size and numbers) Franklin, it went ok. Fairview held Franklin to 2 goals in the first half of the varsity game. Both teams played well in spite of conditions (rain, wet fields, etc). Franklin won 5-1 with a late Fairview goal. I want to say there were two yellow cards given to Franklin, should have been at least one to Fairview. In the end, Fairview got their heads out of the game and let some easy ones in.

Yeah. They show up ready to play everytime we play them. Good competition

haha... that is so true

every year is different

To the people of Fairview - Parents of FHS Football players - Thank you for allowing your sons to play for us.

We appriciate your support through every win and loss and the fact that you cared for us as a team. Fans - Thank you for attending the games - putting up with the cold weather and the rain. It's our hope that you enjoyed watching. Thank you for supporting us in every game, even when we weren't winning. If we have one thing to ask, it's that you don't stop supporting Fairview now.

FHS Football Players- Thanks for a great season. good luck and best wishes to the seniors of this team. Bobby, Lee, Matt, John, Quentin, Jeremy, Sweeny, Zach, Glenn, we had a great time while it lasted.

Yes, Fairview has some powerful individuals. Yes, some of them get more credit than others. but Yes, there are other talented people on Fairview's side of things, and what's more, but them together and they play just that, together. A team. DBack said it well, very few players have gotten on this to talk about the game. Let's just show up Friday and watch our boys play their game.

As a Fairview athlete and supporter of every sport that I don't play, I resent that comment quite a bit....

I'm quite sure most people are headed to or getting ready for the game at this point, but I really just wanted to say good luck to both teams! I'll be heading to the field shortly and can't wait to see the game! Best of luck!
