Game Done CAK 1-0 Great Game, worth missing Farragut Bearden 3 for!!

Well, I called this right . Carter's hill was to big to climb but dream almost came true and I called Alcoa over Catholic by 1(ok my score was 2-1) but my prediction was right.........Want my CAK vs, ALCOA prediction I go with Coach Tom G! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No upset here no matter who wins. Bearden vs Farragut Farragut by at least 1

Not sure which is my upset call this one or CAK vs Carter. Since I think Carter has a bigger hill to climb talent wise, I will call this one Alcoa 2 Catholic 1... You go, you go You Tommy coach you go!! Not sure which is my upset call this one or CAK vs Carter. Since I think Carter has a bigger hill to climb talent wise, I will call this one Alcoa 2 Catholic 1... You go, you go You Tommy coach you go!!

Psude point well taken, but saying the mighty admirals seemed like a shot. I think if you go back and look,, it is one poster who keeps saying things like the hornets nest and other statements and I don't believe him to be a Farragut fan but a trouble maker...never nothing good to say. Both teams have dramatically improved but in the First game, I think the tie was more of a result of a tired Farragut team after a run of games in a row. This time will truly tell which teams wants it and which coach prepared his team. Big Keeper for OR can be a difference and he will want to prove his dominance after the goals scored by West. BUT, those were exceptional goals, few could have stopped them.

Ok, so we don't upset anyone......yes West can win but ONLY if Bearden doesn't come to play and for the statement West winning the Regional...that is some stretch since the other 3 teams ALL beat them this year....but anything is possible just very slight. If West could beat Bearden they will have to beat Oak Ridge Again on a big Field which doesn't play to their style or Farragut on their big field where they have been very tough as of late but either way West odds are greatly reduced. Bearden are fightrers and Turner will never let them forget that this is one and done. Bearden will give West it's own game and Bearden is better at it...Sorry West Fans Bearden wins this 2 or 3 to 1.

UCSOCCER I agree with you....... DVD1 You do post callouts on every post. Either add something to the conversation or go back from whence you came. I too post callouts sometimes but it is to perpetuate further post not to take potshots

Psude,Psude,Peude....and how arrogant of you to take your shots at the mighty admirals when you as a staunch Bearden fan must be burned about the 2 games so far between Farragut and Bearden. So yes the Farragut team can be beaten as can Bearden but I will say this if I recall right Grico the best player in the area so far this year did not play in the first Oak Ridge game and Farragut for some dumb reason played 3 games in 4 days in the cold and looked tired against Oak Ridge. That being said I saw several Oak Ridge games and they have improved. Last year I certainly gave West a chance against Farragut because of the first game where Farragut only won 1-0 and I predicted West to win last year 2-1. But last years Farragut team underperformed and should have found a way but didn't. Oak Ridge has the keeper to hold Farragut but not the offense to score enough to beat them. This one will be 1 or 2 to 0 Farragut the winner. My opinion is not biased based but performance based and I call them like I see them. As I did last year predicting West over Farragut but I missed Oak Ridge over Maryville..........The other side of this regional I see Bearden 2-1 over West and listen to me "a shocker in A/AA"

Give me a break...being a untouchable team #1 means you don't have to hit on all cylinders and #2 Noone is unbeatable #3 Your bias to West is shown by your statement with no substantial proof of the claims validity............to whom have they shown this unbeatable game? Post again in 3 weeks and we will see if you are even close to right, but I too have my own thoughts about that and they don't really agree with yours, but good luck,.....everyone needs someof that this time of year and with the weather

Marryville Plays Farragut and Bearden Plays Seveir County both Wed

I would think you would notice that Bearden , Farragut and Maryville teams in the one district are ranked higher in everyones polls than the 11AAA teams, but guess what only2 max from any district can show up at states...and then we can see .....but intermix these teams in a quasi district and lots of surprises could come out.... It's almost tourney time!!

You don't think so....try this one on for size Bearden and Farragut are in the same district and have won 5 of the last 7 State Championships. IN addition everyyear has at least 3 teams Bearden Farragut and Maryville ranked in the top 10 in the state including this year....so yes, another district can make a bigger claim

When Dogs fight you can throw water on them and Most of the time it will work to shock them and they will seperate. If the official had kept blowing his whistle instead of watching and taking numbers, this might have never escalated.....I feel sorry for the ref put in this position but a more seasoned ref would have blown his whistle over and over

Check out my post I am from NOWHERE in your area so I have no bias on this subject, but you need to take SPECIAL NOTE:::::::: I Really hate to break it to you but Games due count!!!! The team is accepted by the TSSAA and that makes it count against your record as one of your allowed games and team win loss record. 2nd No team that has an ounce of pride plays a game without caring 3rdly I am tired of the JPII had 2 defenders out, how many did the Fire have out, Every team plays down sometime during the year due to injuries, discipline or some reason, I don't know anyone from either team but I sure have heard every excuse for the JPII loss EXCEPT they just simply GOT BEAT THAT NIGHT.....oh well it happens to the best of teams , you just hope it doesn't happen during playoff time. The Fire obviously brought something JPII couldn't handle that night and The HOMESCHOOLED KIDS WON.... THE END!!

Coach, Please forgive me , I didn't mean you were a weak team, I just meant not as good as the two teams mentioned so it was worded wrong. You have done a great job since you got there and have had some teams with great records. So, Please relax, we all know you will play anybody and since you get the big games that shows you are well respected as well as your trips to the state tournament. I do have one thought question for you, if you had played Bearden first and then Farragut a month later would you have seen different teams?

First let me say several years ago I watched Bearden play Maryville and thought Farragut would stomp Bearden when they played, a different Bearden than what played Maryville came to play Farragut and so it goes both ways and always has. So McMinn playing both teams means nothing at game time. Second when did McMinn play each team, some teams take awhile to gel and both Turner and Culbreth work to get their teams to peak so early contest may be irrevalent.. Secondly, diffferent teams play weaker Teams different, some excel some play down. Who played McMinn which way? .

In the old Days this was a hot topic, now they play Thursday Night and it isn't even on anyone's radar? What do you think , especially those who have played both?

Here is what I have determined about the call. My freinds at Farragut see it as a bad call and My friends at West see it as a good call ,. being that I wasn't there ...I am going to agree with my friends. Next Game PLEASE!!

Rewatch this link....WHo hooked who??? Seems McCoy lost the race and made an arm issue out of it and won with the referee............. West is good but as I said last year I have NEVER seen a team of whiners( ususally McCoy and Tanner) Tanner can make a difference but not enough to beat Farragut. I would be careful for wishing a rematch West Fans it would be the end of your run

Lion101 for once I agree with 100% of what you are saying Tnfutbolfan YOU are out of line with your opinion, I think Big G would agree Culbreth is a class act, and you are treading in bad territory

Mr Ref. You are right when someone constantly rides you about all your calls they should be put down and quickly to keep control on the other hand; Refs are going to make mistakes they are human but what is wrong with the current group of Refs is the lack of honesty on mistakes. I know , everyone needs to remember once the play has restarted there is no Whoops and reversing it. But , I have seen linesman out of position over and over call offsides and not call offsides and they NEVER admit to the center ref...."I was out of position , you need to call that one" No , they just make the call even though they were NOT IN POSITION!! Or a center ref, going to the sideline AR before confirming a call he might have missed...........No , the Arrogance of being right and in control trumps the Position of What is Right........... So, you are right we as players, fans and coaches need not to challenge everything and show respect for you trying your very best, but on the other hand., show us respect..........Own up to it when you are wrong, alot of respect wold be gained

Alcoa takes this. Sherrod can be stopped sometimes by an Alcoa defense.....on the other hand Carter cannot stop Aloca enough,

That is CERTAINLY something to brag about.......................

Well, I am not trying to create an enemy so forgive me , but what you really said Netterjack , was that alot of people were saying and thinking this Mo West is going to win the state championship......As I said previously, only the Mo West people were saying that. Well, unless they improve greatly the results will be the same in playoffs. CAK should have beaten them and on a good field would have. But let me go back, the season is young alot of soccer to play. As ususal AAA and A/AA will have to go thru Knoxville to win anything.

WOULD YOU REALLY DO THAT???? If the answer is yes, good thing you don't coach.....,meals can be bought wins cannot. My offer still stands!!

I wouldn't bet anyone will go winless in this tournament , they are all good teams. I have just seen CAK, Farragut , and Catholic in scrimmages or games this year and they are all pretty good. There is a lot of soccer to be played to win a State Championship and Mo West would not only have to be lucky they would have to have few injuries and the ball bounce right. They may be a great match for those 3 teams, but I have been here a while and the game is played on the field not on the boards. .....We will see, but those of you convinced MO West owns Knoxville, much less the state are in for a bit of a surprise. I'll have worked it out with Buddy's by the end of Mo West's game Saturday, for anyone of you anytime Sunday.......However, I feel confident I'll only be buyint my lunch..........Good Luck to ALL!
