I will be very interested to see if Farragut can perform at that level. They graduated a huge number of talented seniors who had a great run last year. I have not heard any of their scrimmage scores. Bearden seems to be able to reload every year. The Clinton jamboree has some games scheduled tonight because of raining looming this weekend but I don't know what teams are involved.

From my understanding,(which is often limited) the district tournament rankings; 1-Bearden 2-Catholic 3-West 4-Farragut 5-Maryville 6-Lenoir City 7-William Blount 8-Heritage Tournament starts Saturday. Not all teams in the district played each other. If a team chooses not to play a district game I think it is recorded as a 3-0 win for the opponent. Catholic looked very strong last night. Strong back line that West kept trying to play over with little success. Physical midfield with excellent first to the ball attitude and multiple forwards making runs as the midfield brought the ball forward. They looked really good.

I agree Bearden is an outstanding team and probably deserves a higher ranking. West plays at Catholic tomorrow which should be a very good match. Those two will in all likelihood turn around and play each other again next week in the district tournament semifinal. Bearden, West, Catholic and Farragut all have a chance to win the district tournament over the next 10 days and Maryville should not be counted out. District 3 has two very good teams in Oak Ridge and Hardin Valley and I would expect them to advance to regional play. Karns obviously has Oak Ridge's number so tournament week should be very exciting in Region 2.
