so. i haven't been up with the board much this boys season. I've heard much about patrick kelly. is there anything anyone can tell me about his past history, and if he is really as great as i hear? i am not calling anyone out. i have seen the boy play, it's just been a while. but does he get a little more credit, being brother to daniel? and as for will maddox, alex tummons, you need to get off this board because Plummer is a great coach, and I know he will kill you for talking smack, and putting a good word in there for yourself. And he's a great player. I've known him for a while, and never have I seen a player work so hard, and train so much. Between every night, trips to england, playing with his brother, lots of heart. Fever 91' has had a bad reputation in the past, due to parents, and over exuberate players, with a lot of heart. Wil's a perfect example fo this. In the heat of the game, frusteration tends to come out with him, but honestly, I can say no less to anyone else on that team. It was always an issue. Due to a few years of unsportsmanlike tactics from a man by the name of "Pierre"(and I know all of you Fever boys' know what I'm talking about), the boys picked up some bad habits. If they can get these under control, and from how I have seen them all in the past, they will be set, and Hendersonville, Pope, and all these other schools that picked up these boys will be very well off. Great group of talent. And I don't know the Pope coach, but if he is anything like Plummer, the boys will change...fast. Your sat out on HHS the whole game for disrespect to a referee, teamate, or player of opposition. It can be a little different, once your in it for pride, can't it be, boys? I've watched you boys play, and wherever you all are, keep progressing with the great skills and passion you have.

well i must say. it is quite strange not watching franklin play in state, or even, regions for that matter. But , these girls have shown a lot of class about it. And personally, in my mind, if they had been in any other district, they would have gone on. No question. Congrats girls on a great season, and you all must have had the hardest district around! Keep your heads high!!

I agree! I mean, if Farragut and Bearden and allll of these teams have all these past titles, then wouldn't someone DEFINATELY put them as number 1 if they thought it was well deserved? Theres a reason that they have not been number 1, because they would obviously be considered, given their past record. And how are we so sure about the tougher scheduales, if a lot of these top rank teams are in the middle? Brentwood, Hendersonville, Father Ryan, FRA, I mean, these are always top teams as well. That is the one thing that gets me, that you can all say how they have the tougher scheduale..because those teams WERE the best. Key word, WERE. Oh well, I guess it will all show today...let the games begin.

Sounds like a very good all around team. Should be some good matchups. States tommorow, and I can't wait to just watch some awesome teams play there best to get the rings...it will be quite the week!

Then i am missing the whole point of this board i suppose. I thought it was to discuss games, and teams,what has happend and what we think will happen. Other wise, no one should be saying anything. And I'm not a player. And anything can happen, definately agree. And I have no clue who will win..but people are saying their predictions, and their reasoning behind it. So...please, let the board be used.

your right. and those players are now on the bench for varsity. playing when the games get high, for good experience. the reason i said this is because someone believed that on paper brentwood faired out as the better team. when in reality, it doesn't seem that way.

Not sure. I'm suspecting Hendersonville to beat Mcminn, but I cannot vouch because I haven't seen mcminn play, i am jsut going by competition, records, what i've heard, ect. Granted, i think it will be a veryyy hard game. But I hear Bearden is favored for their game. Do you think that would be a tough match? Hville, Bearden? I haven't seen bearden. Do you know how good they are?

I just really read this, and I don't know if you could really say that logic makes brentwood seem better. Notice, how Hendersonville beat Rossview 5 to 0 in regionals. With not a very close game at all, 3 goals in teh first half, and jv players starting by 2nd. I, personally, don't see even in logic how that would make brentwood even look as if they were better than hendersonville. And by halftime of the glencliff game, hendersonville jv was playing, again. And the goal was in the last 2 on hayden coffmen. their freshman keeper. Not to argue, but I just personally don't see how they would even really look as if they were better in logic.

Definately agree. I'll be intrested to see them play, because I haven't seen what the east has to offer yet. I think it will all be shown when they combine, because they do not realy know the skill of the central, and the central hasn't seen the skill of the east yet. Not to say, I'm sure West has something to offer. Has anyone seen Germantown play? How are the teams out there? Are they up to par with east and central tennessee?

I don't think this is something someone should post on yet. There is no finals. And tournement time is a crazy time. The girls state champions were not expected to win last year, Hendersonville was not expected to make it as far as they did last year, Farragut has changed tremendously lately, ina good way, and everyone will show up to play veryyy hard this week. Farraguts going to have a tough game against Brentwood, personally, I think that is the biggest game of wed. Hendersonville also will not have it easy. I see no blow-outs, or chances to predict who will win this thing yet. Let alone the championship GAME.

I don't think they were either bhs. I think glencliff played a hard match, and rossview as well. Definately deserved to make it all the way to sectionals. i mean that makes them 1 of what? 16 teams left? and thats quite an honor in itself. I simply meant that quote by it was strange how brentwood and hendersonviles sectional and region finals were the same. but yes, congrats to both teams for making it that far, its better than most.

thanks leftfooted. the reason i was thinking farragut could come back in win this is because i've heard how much of an improvement they've made this year, and they have played a farelly good scheduale. i haven't seen all of those teams play, though. so it was nice to know where someone thought they stood that has actually SEEN them all play. so many people talk as if they know, when they haven't seen them. but i am definately for hendersonville, and cannot wait for the games to get started, and see who shows up to play!

I am 100% Hendersonville. BUT i could see Farragut beating them in the finals. If Hendersonville isn't 100% there. I think the boys will be though. And, if Farragut WAS to win, I don't particularly consider it an upset. Both teams are great, as well as Brentwood, Bearden, Houston, Mcminn, ect. But if it was to be Farragut vs. Hendersonville, it would be blood and guts..and a bit of a toss up.

definately agree. the first thing i said after i heard about the score of the brentwood game was "how weird". 5 to 0. then 3 to 1. just, swapping. it was very strange. definately agree

Weaveworld, I have been to most of their games. And their all around skill is very good. I mean, their teamwork, composure, structure, speed, strength, everything. Their skill is veryy impresive. So many teams I have seen play the "lets kick the ball up the feild and run". Hendersonville seems to have a more mature style of play. And even on paper, they've done well. Winning over Brentwood, and having great game against Parkview. They've allowed 10 goals, and no more than 2 in a game. Their defense is very strong. And also having somewhere around 75 goals. Even on paper, they seem like they've done quite well for themselves. With a record of 18-2-1. I can see them wining it all. No, I do NOT see a cake walk for them. At all. And things could very well happen. I thought they would have gone further last year, but it seems they didn't show up to play. They've got to show up to play, thats my biggest worry. They tend to start off slow, or thinking it won't be quite the game it turns out to be. We'll see how it all goes, but if you want to know why some people believe they might win it all, that is why.

and yes i think bearden does have a chance, even though i am bias towards hendersonville. but if they should both show up with their A game, which i would THINK they would, i think hendersonville will win. I just, find them a better team. Maybe bearden is more consistant, i don't know. But all around team wise, I think Hendersonville is the best well-rounded team. With an awesome defense. I can't wait for state, and to see who steps up. Crazy things seem to happen at the championship, and it really is hard to predict.

this is probably poitnless but for correct stats, tj brown missed the pk. rarelly does kelley take them.

Exactly. Hendersonville, 18-2-1. With opponents like Brentwood, PARKVIEW, rossview, father ryan, they've had almost as big of a scheduale as anyone in the state. Granted, they haven't played farragut or bearden. 21 games played. 10 goals allowed, no more than one a game, except for once where they allowed a whopping 2, and they've had something like 72 goals of their own. To me, thats quite a good record. Mcminn County. Where has their "Big competition" been? Hendersonville. Farragut has played Father Ryan, with the same score as hendersonville, bearden and oak ridge. All top teams. Seeing the central and the west meeting, should be intresting. Different competition. I personally see Farragut vs. Hendersonville in the finals. And I don't see any blow outs really.

Thanks for letting me know who alls going. I think most of the worthy-teams are there. Not to say a lot of other great teams didn't play a good season, but I feel that the top 8 teams, despite a couple maybe, are where they should be. On there way to Memphis. I'm excited to see how this weekend goes. Good Luck To You All! And My Hearts With Hendersonville! I Hope You Guys Can Bring It Home!

I too think Hendersonville will win it all. They all want it so bad, but I'm sure everyone else does as well. But all around I really think on a great day, Hendersonville is the best team around. BUT they've got to play THEIR top game. They have a problem with playing down to their opponent. They won't run away with it, but I think they'll step up quite a lot for state...and they'll take it home him some hard-fought matches.

Good Call HHSoccerfan

I will be intrested to see if it's a high scoring game. Because I've heard that Mcminn has a realy strong offense, and I feel that Hendersonvilles got one of the best defense in the state. So we've got Germantown, Hendersonville, Bearden, Mcminn, Farragut, Brentwood and who else?

hendersonville...3 to 1 over glencliff

awesome job soccer man. great call, you were right. and, you didn't trash talk, or say anything other than your prediction. they fought within themselves about youa nd what you said, and you got it right. so the cats got their tounge. and the game? they had no chance.

So Any Predictions? I say Hendersonville, 4 to 1. With the goal being late from Mt. Juliet. Mt. Juliet will keep the pressure hard and will not quit. While Hendersonville might have a fluke, or let down for a moment or 2. I see that from them occasionally. But don't let the score decieve you, I think it will be a good match, with free kicks, ,maybe a pk or so, or goals spread throughout the game. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's my prediction. I think it will be a decent match, so come out, tonight at 7 at smyrna. I'll be back after the game to post up a score if someone hasn't already. Good luck to the other teams around the state playing for their districts tonight. Particularly the Maryville vs. Farragut game. Somone keep me updated on that one.
