  1. I scout For Several Colleges. I have Been all over The State To get there and Scrimmages be Cancelled, It's a State Wide Horror For Teams!! Be Aware, I ONLY ATTEND SCRIMMAGES TO IDENTIFY PLAYERS ,Who I want to See Play later in the Year! Recently, I watched 2 Power House Teams in the State play a Scrimmage and Confirmed Why I Don't pay 5Cents For Scrimmages Results! The Better of The Two Coaches Was Evident Immediately, as He Played Lots of Players and Lots of Formations, While the Other Coach treated it as A Playoff game and left his Starters in 90% or more Of The Time! Well, The Coach That treated as A Playoff game Won, But Was Still outplayed,His Team only Had 9 Shots With 6 on frame , While The Smart Coaches Team , Outplayed The Team trying to win and Had ---27 Shots With 20 on Frame( I keep track, I'm looking top HS Players) . The Winning Team capitalized ; When the Changing Constantly Team was Switching Formations or Just switched players Who made Mistakes. The Changing Team Coach was Smart, You Could See Him Hold up players on Sides of Field( Ex. His Top 4 Never Crossed in their Defensive side , I assume to see What would happen , and How it Played out With Defenders By themselves. Their Shots on Goal were Limited To Outside PK Spot, I watched, It was a Pattern, So the Changing Coach Must have Put Restrictions on his Offense Too. That is why, So many Shots on Frame Had less Goal Success ( The Winning Team's Keeper had a Helper( it was the Coach of the Team changing Players and Formations) . I Absolutely know Who was Hands Down the Better of the Two Coaches and Will bet On His Team in playoffs. Please Note, The Winning Team is VERY Good, But the TEAM, With a Coach Willing to try and teach his team By Limiting Them and see who can do what, and Still overall outplay the Winning Team, That Is the Team to bet on!! Even if it's for Just The Talent and Coaching IQ that Team's Coach has! The Team that Lost , Their Coach Showed His Superiority in The way he Handled a Very Smartly played Scrimmage Game Approach! That is why, I put No Credit in a Scrimmage Scores AT ALL! , The losing Team at this Scrimmage and Their Coach were all BETER and Learned During The Game , Yet they Lost! But, That is why it is a Scrimmage, Not a Playoff Game! NO, I Will never Name The Teams , as It Would be Unfair to Identify Coach that Probably Feels "Great He Won", AND , Should Not Have It Rubbed in his Face, He Was out of His League against the Other Coach and Will find out Soon enough in Real Playoffs!So, Everyone Take heed and Throw Scrimmage Scores Out the Window!!!
  2. Thank YoubSo Much For Your Help. What Is The Houston /Urah/ Science Hill Brackett And The Alabama /Bartlet Bracket Schedules? I Sincerely Aopreciate Yoyr Wmquick Resoinse And Help on this, I am Excited To Come!!! THANK YOU!!!
  3. Does Anyone Know Where a Person can Find The REAL SCHEDULE? There is a Teams That have Dropped out for Different Reasons and A Utah Team Coming. Last Poster Had Schedule From Z2 Months Ago ? Anyone Know a Real link Or The True Schule ,?Id Love to Come
  4. Seymour, However a strong start but history of No real Club in the area, plus lack of Big Game experience may reflect a Team that has only palyed weaker Competition. I do see that some of their wins are against Teams that have dominated the area in the past and they too had a good start this year(Oak Ridge comes to mind) HOWEVER This is a biggie, Oak Ridge is the only Team they have beaten with a winning record!! All teams have been cut short this season because of all the rain. Some how Coach Payne has managed to play all his 8 games, Kudo's to that and his great Start. They have no real Powers in front of them the rest of the season and could win out a First for Seymour and very hard to do in Knoxville, but then the real fun will start for them in Playoffs where the Big Boys usually dominate. I wish them the very best and everyone should give them their due!! They will NEVER get out of the Region though, Sorry about that to the Seymour players that are doing so well, but East Tennessee only sends 2 0f Only 6 Teams EVERY YEAR and it will be that way again this year!!i
  5. It is no doubt that losing by the score Maryville lost to Farragut took some wind out of their sails and the confidence wasn't there against hendersonville. Hendersonville every year is tough and the Coach Plummer does a great job of getting the most out of getting the most out of his team, But the loss also proves that Farragut was not just deep in their victory over Maryville they were the superior team. We haven't truly seen the best CAK team yet as injuries have depleted their strength which will return as the players return. Bearden's victory over West proves that again Coach turner can bring a winning and Strong team to the table year after year!
  6. Hey Big G or Akula You seem to be able to find out things I can't. I cannot get anyone to answer their phones on Farragut. I know Farragut has beaten the Oklahoma State Champ and the Private School State Champ from South Carolina and play the National Champion from last year sometime today? Do you know if the time is the same as was posted on the site? Has Farraugt score enough points from their two shut outs to go to the semifinals? What happens if they liose to Northwestern. It is great to seee a Team from Tenn doing so well against tough out of state Competition, to some degree this disproves the theory that our state is weaker than most in Soccer. Rock on Farragut Rock on!!
  7. Dude, That would be pretty hard to lose a game you didn't play......Knox West played Heritage and would beat Portland if they played them BUT THEY DIDN'T ....... You were wrong here My Prediction Bearden 3=2 over West ,
  8. Not to offend anyone because Mid Tenn Fire is good but you are comparing to Columbia not even a top 25 team in the state if that. You insinuate that Mid Tenn Fire would match up or be as good as any team in the State after you saw them beat Columbia? Father Ryan , Bearden, Farragut,Maryville, Knox West would be a whole new game to Mid Tenn Fire and they could play with those teams but those teams mentioned could easily show you that the dominance you saw was because the team they were playing Columbia is so weak. I am glad that a Homeschool program was formed with such wonderful results and that obviously show they come to play and can dominate some schools
  9. WITH THE TALENT IN THIS dISTRICT ONE COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT AN EXCEPTION COULD BE MADE TO ALLOW 4 teams from this District to advance. That being said, this will all virtually bowl down to Coaching and While there are some very good Coaches in this district as well as teams. Breardens Turner and Farragut's Culbreth have shown over and over when it's time to win they know how to get the job done! I will stay with the power of Farragut to repeat at going to the tournament but then it becomes a whole new game to win it all.Top
  10. May I suggest that Rankings mean nothing! Was it not last year even the knowledgeable Rankings had Cleveland in a top 10 in the Nation and #1 in the state and Farragut gave them their first loss.......or 4 years ago when Bearden was ranked 8th in the State and they won the State Tournament....or Alcoa that was ranked under everyone came in Second last year. Rankings are for fun and to set up big attendance at the games because you have some idea that it willbe a good game. Teams that cry about their rank need to prove it on the field , then cry if not recognized. Schedule has alot to do with whether you are a real power or not and some teams go 26-1 , yet played very weak teams to do so and when they get in the heat of real powers fold. Really any ranking system should have a RPI to have any validity at all. HERE AQRE MY TEAMS TO BEAT THIS YEAR AAA- Farragut AA/A Alcoa---no I was not paid to say that ( Also watch Kingsbury if they held their roster from last year Div !! Father Ryan Don't knock my rankings until the final state Whistle Blows, I think all those teams may have a hiccup or two but will still be standing the last day. I could go on and on about my reasoning and yes I realize that all of you have an opinion but I am pretty sure I have hit 2 out of 3 State Champions with my picks. I could also argue why we should go back to the format of the 80's and have only 1 state Champion, since some schools get a unfair advantage in the division they play in and Soccer being a sport that often times big or little schools don't necessarily mean you have a bigger pool draw. Think of this if in a small school 10 % of the male population comes out for soccer and in a big school only 1/2 % of the male population comes out and they all play club soccer is the small school at a real disadvantage? Or take a small school like Oneida where the population of Soccer players is almost non existant and put them up against the schools they play where soccer is huge.....thus my call for 1 State Champion to level the field or have a ranking system to move teams up or down on past years success or failures........but like everything else in the world FAIR just doesn't happen!!! Save my predictions they are close to the money!!
  11. Scrimmages- Most Coaches use them to see what they have , while most players look at say, " wow ,I can't believe The Mighty( fill in your team) only tied or beat (no name team) by a goal The better coaches for the most part use these games to try everything. Some coaches say that they don't care and handle their scrimmmages that way but in reality pull out all the stops to win all the time. Don't get me wrong, I think winning should be a habit and every effort should be made to do so, but some Coaches who win all the time in season don't have perfect records in scrimmages because they test their team and individual players..... You will see at least one coach get on here and say they honestly don't care..but in reality that may not be true. For a coach to really know what he has , he needs to be able to put away his pride and the teams desire to win and test the waters with his players for future gains. My opinion is scrimmages only tells a Coach and his team how good they are ....NOT the public or someone reading the scrimmage score or on another team
  12. I love these sleepers.......last year Mo West owned the State and again as the past 20 years their trip stopped in Knoxville...now you think a Jeff County Team can play with the Knoxville elite??? Not hardley , just to much talent in West, Farragut and Bearden and that is the powers even the base of Catholic, CAK and Maryville would all own Jeff County....Wish you much luck but the only sleeper here is maybe in your district.
  13. I believe you were strongly tied to that Farragut Team because only a true player or Fan would have know the Coach called those guys the 4 horesemen... I looked it up ion the interenet and found that nickname for them, so the validity to your statement must be true. Aaron is alive and kicking and played in college football at MTSU and soccer at Queens....Mack 6 is interested in who you are because he comes from a long line of Knoxville Soccer Family and was the best of his family to boot...Now Whodat8519 who you be?
