First of all admiral2010 who are you? No one could go by number 14 or 19 in the back they are way better than any of your forwards so you are crazy to say they sucked. They had your whole team on lock down in every 1v1 situation. Also 21 probly has the best foot skills of anyone ive ever seen play. No one on farragut even compares to his foot skills.

so one game not played at your full potential makes you not good? or overrated? so with your logic Barcelona is not the best team is Spain because they lost a game, Chelsea is not the best team in England because they lost a game. No matter how great a team is they will be games when they don't play to their full potentials and sometimes lose, it happens. and you're right "Number 2 team in nation?" that's garbage they deserve number 1 for sure. they beat 6 fab50 teams and 4 were in the top 10 + the defending national champs; to me that deserve the number 1 tittle. Oak Ridge played their hearts out like they always do against farragut, best game of the season but in the end who came out victorious? talking about the fight did you even see what happened? do you even know happened?i ll give you a little hint, farragut walks up to shake hands and Oak Ridge player throws out a punch (there is more to it). and where did the idea that because farragut has 18 seniors they are all arrogant, over confident and , have egos the size of china? maybe you should talk to the kids, get to know them personally off the field and learn more about them. You have no right to even try to take away anything from what the farragut players have achieved this season. so seriously before making garbage posts like this think twice and get your facts right. No team is invincible that's for sure, but like someone said earlier 21 have tried, and 21 have failed. Yes i'm a farragut supporter and proud to be one Okay for one you are saying that farragut has played one bad game or got close once to losing. If i recall they only beat Hardin Valley 1-0, Bearden 2-1, and Oak Ridge 2-1, that is three close games that they have barely escaped out of. The best team in the nation(according to you) doesn't win three games by a goal and one game in OT. I am not trying to say they are not good, i just don't think they are the best team in the nation. Farragut can be beaten on any day. The reason is because they are so cocky and think they are the best team in the nation. They think they can do whatever and they will still win, but Oak Ridge almost proved them wrong last night. Oak Ridge proved when Farragut gets scored on they dont know how to react. Have you ever watched Farragut warm-up? They dont take it serioulsy they just screw around, because people like you say they are the best team in the nation. There coach Wallie does not disciple them at all what so ever. Go watch the best team in the nation(Frank Cox) and see what they do when they play and how there coach disciples them. I bet it is way better than Wallie does. If they win Wallie is happy, no matter the score, no matter if a fight breaks out. And on another subject you say Farragut after the game went to shake hands which is not true. I talked to the guy and saw what happened. One of the Farragut players called him a female dog and he said call me one again and he did so the player from Oak Ridge tried to hit him. The Oak Ridge player still should not have done that but it isn't right either for the Farragut player to call him a female dog. You have no idea what the Farragut plays are like on the field. They may be all nice and sweet off the field but on the field is a different story. And i am not trying to take away anything from these kids just stating the facts. And i am a Oak Ridger supporter.

Another point I would like to make is number 1, number 2, or whatever number you want, these espn rankings are a little misleading. the ranking is only against teams in states that play in the spring, so I think that puts Farragut up against teams from a grand total of 12 states. Regardless, a team like them should be able to maintain focus for more than 20 minutes and put a team away. I'm not saying it just happened against Oak Ridge, it has happened many times before. It will be the downfall to there team if they don't know how to overcome the frustration of not scoring in the first 20 minutes.

How about number 4 for Hardin Valley? I believe his name is Dalton? not sure though

Soccerstud you sound like the typical over-confident parent/player/or fan from Farragut. My only point is that Farragut needs to watch out. They consistently come out hard in the first 20 minutes, but if they are met with tough competition, they lose control of the game when they should easily dominate any team with the 18 (?) seniors they have. Plus what does it show of your team when you act as players from Farragut did after the game? Also what exactly happened on Carlos's injury? I just saw him go down.

It may be like poking a lion with a stick, but it was a pretty hard poke, and right where it hurts. Farragut players lost their cool during the game, mentally collapsed in my opinion. I believe there was a fight at the end? They couldn't put anything in the back of the net. Great heart by Oak Ridge and smart play. This game should serve as a wake up call to any other team that any team can beat another team on any given day. I think teams step on the field already giving Farragut the win, and thats what gives them such an edge. Oak Ridge believed last night, and if another team with perhaps more talent than Oak Ridge does the same, there is a possibility for Farragut to fall. Big trees fall hard.

Number 2 team in the nation? I think Farragut is way overrated. I just watched them play against Oak Ridge and they were lucky to pull off the win. They got a lucky pk in the first half which if they had not had they would have lost. Plus there goal in overtime was pretty weak and Oak Ridge almost tied it up with a free kick that hit the post. I feel they will are not the team everyone thought they were and will most likely get knocked out of state pretty early. Definitely not the number 2 team in the nation.

I just can't see Bearden being able to hang with Farragut. I would say Farragut will put on the same show they did last game. If so, I personally think Bearden is going to have a tough game tuesday especially if they have to play Oak Ridge. They could be a sleeper team.

Oak Ridge - 7 Powell - 1

Ya he had an off night, but then again what keeper doesn't get scored on at least 3 times against farragut? However he has stepped up in other games for Oak Ridge. On another note, saw Bearden's keeper play, good stuff.

Oak Ridge - 4 Alcoa - 0

I agree completely, games are getting way out of hand. Refs should be more decisive in their calls. Two games I would like to note as getting out of hand include Oak Ridge at Farragut and Bearden at Farragut. Lots of words said with no punishment.

I'm not sure about cleveland. Had a weak performance against Oak Ridge. Maybe they have gotten their game together since then though. Anything can happen. Should be a good match though. I'll take CCS though 3-1. Seymour's game should be good too.

Rushil Dave for Oak Ridge, has kept them in many games with critical saves. Also hear of Bearden's talented keeper. Haven't seen him personally yet though.
