I have been to quite a few of the games this year in this revamped district, and I must say I am suprised. First, it is no suprise the Riverdale is at the top again. Every year, you hear people say Coach Arman has nothing, but every year they rise to the occasion. Second, if you didn't think LaVergne is for real.....you got another thing coming. You hear alot about Sr Midfielder Ali Guerra, but don't count out the true general of the field, Junior Midfielder Robert Cope. If his teammates would listen to him, they might score alot more goals. He can place the ball and put it in tighter spots than a needle......now......if his outside wings would actually run to get it. Statistically, he is the best player in the District at this very moment.....especially when you add the intangibles. Third....Smyrna....really? This is the coach that ranks the teams for Eurosport, but cant put 5 wins together in a single season. Maybe he should be ranking area restaurants instead. Blackman.....Ryan Zeeck is the only highlight they have, but even he can be shut down as is evident of their record. Siegel is a good team, balanced, no real stand-outs. Coach Shelton put together a really good schedule to test them, but whats the point in having back-ups if they dont get on the field. How are you going to grow your next crop. Oakland......eh.......nothing much to say except even they can beat Smyrna. So......My All District Team as of right now.
Forward........Ryan Zeeck, Blackman
Forward........David Pleitez, Riverdale
Midfielder.........Robert Cope, LaVergne
