Yes, that much better.

The film doesn't lie. Ball was completely in the net before rebounding downward.

White House definitely, but the others.....perhaps a 9 vs 10 series during the season is in order?

Both teams made a mistake in the first half that cost each a goal, second half DL struggled defensively. Playing without their center back since half-way thru the ND game. Kingsbury is very tenacious with an excellent first touch. DL struggled with lack of depth. DL's forward hit an amazing near post goal to give them the lead 2-1 early in second half, however Kingsbury answered. DL pressed with numbers, but couldn't find the net on several chances. CAK shouldn't struggle much.

The District has four to six teams that can compete for the top two spots. Goodpasture and Stratford both appeared to have down years, however CPA, Hume-fogg, MLK, and Lipscomb were all capable of getting thru to post season based on head to head results.

Is District 9 A/AA the deepest relative to team strength?

Great group of kids, big kids at that.

When opportunity meets preparation.......

A good first half for the Irish, mis-judged ball found the goal. Second half not so good, 2 corners and a through ball nailed it shut for the Mustang Nation.

I almost like this prediction.

Well said and very true.

DL def Giles even after having a goal taken away. Amazing place to play.

So is this argument. Proximity to clubs is the common denominator to strength....public and private. Brentwood Soccer Club, TNFC, Harpeth, Music City, Cobras,TN United, etc. FEED Ravenwood, Franklin, Brentwood, Centennial, Independence BGA, Brentwood Academy, Christ Pres., Page, Father Ryan, Ensworth, JP2, Hendersonville, FRA, DCA

Indeed.

Perhaps it is different in Chattanooga and East TN than Middle TN where the strength of a team (public or private) is primarily due to the "proximity" of local soccer clubs. Power Factors 1st - local soccer clubs 2nd (close to first) - kids in clubs will often gravitate to local privates - takes $$ to be on a club team and to attend a private school. 3rd - parental recruiting (happens more in public schools given the advantages of Magnet Schools and IB programs, and or open zoning)and happens in the privates as well. 4th - private schools typically hire coaches with experience in the sport versus just assigning someone to help boost their pay level. Until private citizens are no longer paying taxes to support public schools, you cannot argue against a private school competing in Division I.

An unfortunate draw for a first game for both teams. ND should breeze into the finals. Page is not that strong.

Thanks! How did ND score?

Any update?

Thanks Big G, any update on Page and Dyersburg?

Is there a final score?

CPA's defense is best in the state, scoring comes from every player.....if they finish and they do when they need to.

Greeneville CPA Final Greeneville

It's the same Region...they go north and south in the brackets. CPA hasn't put it third gear yet. ND will not score.
