Quick note for any interested parties...the District 10 A/AA Championship between White House and Clarksville Academy has been moved to 6:00. The game is at Macon County...which means you probably should have left 10 minutes ago.

And wasn't it Independence that also pulled the upset this past spring...only to miss out on Regions. As an unbiased fan, gotta root for the Indy girls.

District 10 A/AA Tournament a.k.a. The "Ugh,we have to play White House when?" Tournament a.k.a The "But Macon County is so far away!" Tournament 10/15 East Robertson @ Sycamore Creek Wood 1 WH-Heritage 9 Cheatham County 3 Macon County 0 Greenbrier 0 Montgomery Central 2 10/16 Sycamore @ White House WH-Heritage @ Harpeth Cheatham County @ Clarksville Academy Montgomery Central @ Merrol Hyde 10/18 @ Macon County Syc/WH vs. WH-H/Har CC/CA vs. MC/MH **Edit with scores**

My questions of course come from an interested party. I agree with the tournament field issue but we have to follow the guidelines in the district. There are discussions among the coaches to attempt to find a central host location starting with the boys season. Luckily we ended up with an odd seed in the West. Hopefully, we'll be seeing you in the finals.

White House 1 Merrol Hyde 0 Off night for White House? Or good night for Merrol Hyde? Any insight DCurtis?

Semis and finals will be at Harpeth on the 8th and 10th. Semis are at 5 and 7pm. My unbiased analysis on the West Division: Cheatham: Gritty team with a great work ethic. Gifted finishers up front (43 goals from one player) and an MVP caliber player in the midfield running it all. Harpeth: Most technically sound team in the division. Quality players all around. Benefit from bigger fields due to their fitness and their passing ability. Cville Aca: Well organized and extremely strong in the midfield. Speed up front and intelligent enough to hang with a lot of teams. MCHS: A lot of potential but inconsistent. Senior heavy team. Sycamore: A lot of heart with some good athletes. Not enough soccer players. Waverly: See above. Creek Wood: No comment.

Thanks. I've kinda taken on the role of keeping track of this for the guys and girls seasons. It's actually fun for me. We actually couldn't find our updated tie breakers so I was going off the top of my head. A little different wording but the results will still be the same. Just keeping my fingers crossed we won't have to deal with it all.

Standings as of 4/25 East White House 6-0-0 Merrol Hyde 5-1-0 WH-Heritage 3-2-0 (WM) Greenbrier 2-4-0 Macon County 2-4-0 East Robertson 2-4-0 Westmoreland 0-5-0 (WH-H) West Cville Academy 5-0-0 (Har) Cheatham Co. 5-1-0 Harpeth 4-1-0 (CA) Montgomery Cent. 1-3-1 (Wav) Sycamore 1-3-1 (CW) Waverly 1-4-0 (MC) Creek Wood 0-5-0 (Syc) Let me see if I can answer all of the questions and discuss the potential scenarios. The standings in the East are set. There is still some shuffling that could happen in the West with the remaining games. Here are the breakdowns of each division. East The tope 3 seeds are set regardless of WH-Heritage's performance against Westmoreland. Three teams tied with a 2-4 record. The three team tiebreakers are as follows: 1. Record against other division opponents 2. Total goals against 3. Revert back to Head-to-Head 4. Most shutouts The teams in question are Greenbrier, Macon County and East Robertson. All went 1-3 against the other teams in the division. Total goals against gives Greenbrier 4th place with 12 (Macon had 16, ERHS had 27). Reverting back to H2H, Macon County defeated East Robertson 5-0 making MC #5 and ER #6. West #6 and #7 are set based on H2H. If Montgomery Central and Sycamore have the same record, the two team tiebreakers are as follows: 1. Head-to-Head (the teams tied in the regular season so we can ignore this one) 2. Goal Differential (3 goal maximum) 3. Most shutouts Going into Thursday's games, Montgomery Central leads the goal differential by 2 (-4 to -6). MC has 1 shoutout, Sycamore has 0. As for the top 3 seeds, it gets a little complicated. Here are the scenarios... If CA wins or ties: 1. Clarksville Academy 2. Cheatham County (H2H over Harpeth) 3. Harpeth If Harpeth wins all 3 teams would be 5-1. We can ignore the first 3-team tiebreaker because they all went 4-0. So we would go to total goals against. Harpeth stands at 3 GA, Cheatham at 4 GA and CA at 6 GA. Thus... If Harpeth wins and CA scores 0 goals: 1. Harpeth (3 goals against) 2. Clarksville Academy (H2H over Cheatham) 3. Cheatham County If Harpeth wins and CA scores 1+ goals: 1. Cheatham County (4 goals against and H2H over Harpeth) 2. Harpeth (H2H over CA) 3. Clarksville Academy So oddly enough, CA would have a worse seeding the better they performed in a loss. Potentially, the most complicated ending this District has ever seen.

Standings as of 4/23 East Merrol Hyde 5-1-0 White House 4-0-0 (WM, ER) WH-Heritage 3-2-0 (WM) East Robertson 2-3-0 (WH) Greenbrier 2-4-0 Macon County 2-4-0 Westmoreland 0-4-0 (WH, WH-H) West Cville Academy 4-0-0 (MC, Har) Harpeth 3-0-0 (CC, Syc, Wav) Cheatham Co. 4-1-0 (Har) Montgomery Cent. 1-2-1 (CA, Wav) Sycamore 1-3-1 (CW) Waverly 1-3-0 (CW, MC) Creek Wood 0-4-0 (Wav, Syc) As far as the tournament goes, the #1 seed from each Division will receive a bye. The other teams will play first round games on Saturday May 5. #2E v. #7W, #3E v. #6W, etc. Games will be hosted by the higher seed. The Quarterfinals will take place Monday May 7, once again being hosted by the higher seed. The Semifinals and Finals will be played at Harpeth?? (still unsure on this) on May 8 and 10.

I know there was some discussion about this district earlier but it seemed to dwindle (as did this entire board). For those still interested, here are the standings for both divisions at about the halfway point of district play. Also listed are the teams they have left to play. East Merrol Hyde 4-1-0 (Macon) White House 2-0-0 (GB, Macon, WM, ER) Greenbrier 2-1-0 (WH, WH-H, ER) Macon County 2-2-0 (MH, WH) WH-Heritage 1-2-0 (GB, ER, WM) East Robertson 1-2-0 (WH-H, GB, WH) Westmoreland 0-4-0 (WH, WH-H) West Cville Academy 3-0-0 (Wav, MC, Har) Harpeth 2-0-0 (MC, CC, Syc, Wav) Cheatham Co. 2-1-0 (CW, MC, Har) Montgomery Cent. 1-0-0 (Har, Syc, CC, CA, Wav) Sycamore 1-3-0 (MC, CW) Waverly 0-2-0 (Har, CA, CW, MC) Creek Wood 0-3-0 (CC, Wav, Syc)

Honestly, the biggest issue that this state is always going to run into in regards to classification is simply culture. There are too many rural areas in this state where soccer just isn't popular enough to support a program at a school. So the talk of increasing the number of classifications just won't work simply because there won't be enough schools to fill them. It's why single A is already combined with double A. At most of these schools football, basketball, and (somewhat) baseball rule. That's why the multiple classifications work for those sports. I always wonder how much research goes into these decisions. Do they look at other similar states? I know football is their cash cow so it is always going to affect their decision making. What TSSAA needs to do (although it would never happen) is to create some sort of focus group made up of coaches from across the state. They are the ones who know the issues regarding travel, talent discrepancy, rivalries, etc. Let them have a say. I have no doubt the outcome would be better than the one made by the guys sitting behind desks making decisions based solely on numbers on a computer screen. And nothing against Macon County...but that drive is looooooooooooonnnnnnngggggggggg.

Thanks for the bulletin board material...

I'll (finally) be there in the tie dye. Planning this weekend is so much easier when you're dating another soccer fan/player. Wish I had figured that out earlier.

Here are next weeks matchups. Two of these teams are going to Chattanooga. District 9 seemed a little weaker than previous years but still have quality teams. Fairview goes undefeated at 19-0-1. White House is playing their best soccer right now. Page had a rough outing in Chatty a couple weeks ago. Predictions? Comments?
