CPA vs USN is going to be fun to watch here in the Middle Region. Championship. Lots of talent on both teams and a very well coached CPA team. They just don't make mistakes that beat themselves.

USN has a great all state forward in Courtney Rabb. She was too much for BGA's entire back line in their game today but had several great opportunities that she and her teammates didn't make. Not sure how many shots BGA had either? Has to be five or less?

If I was a betting man my DCA kiddos will be playing CAK at St Georges Wednesday. This is a rematch of an early season game last yeat that saw CAK win. Both teams can score so it might make for an interesting game?

Beat of luck to you all.

 

While USN did dominate the run of play in the first half, Rabb had one shot on goal all game against BGA.  Just want to set the record straight.  CPA is the class of the middle region this year.  I was not impressed with USN in their game with BGA (settled for a lot of shots from distance which BGA was more than  happy to allow) or CPA (but I thought #12 for USN was a very player, CM)

Good luck to everyone.

Looking forward to this game.  Might head out that way.

BGA 0

ECS 0

ECS was missing one of their starters.  BGA was missing two of theirs and had two on the field who were carrying injuries.  Game could have gone either way, but under the circumstances and predictions, this is an impressive result for BGA.

its his 3rd season....surely he can at least match his conference wins from last year

Booger just sayin 

Conference play gets underway shortly.

First season: 2-6-1

Second season: 4-4-1

Third season: 

Gavin is a solid coach.  He just needs time to get it done.

all teams need b weery of ND, as has been the case for many years...if one looks on paper at there W-L and record U will b fooled....nobody plays the schedules Shim plays and that has also been the case for many many years...

....that bein said not sure they have have what it takes take the Big dance....they need to b more productive up front withg the abolity to score....but the Irish never has been a big scoring team......the best players will almost always be in the back defendin

....it will b fun to see how it pans out against these new teams

.....Goin with Big G's old team at this point

Booger just sayin 

Sounds like Playerscoach has some insight to middle TN soccer.  I look forward to hearing more from him.  I agree 100% with Booger.  Jim has always done an excellent job IMO with what he has and he has often entered region tournament with a horrible record, but it has been due to the teams he schedules.

CCS has a win against GPS which is impressive.  They, too, will be a team to watch.  ECS and St George are well coached and will be hard to break down, too.  

I would like to see some of the middle TN d2 teams venture out of their backyard and play some more east and west TN teams (easy for me to say as I am not footing the bill for travel).

As much as Booger gotta b admittin it......Coach Sneller and his Sword of Joshua Full Gospel Independent Pentecostal Assembly just off Hwy 41/Broad St. on Charger Dr. gotta be the team on paper to be the East favorite......tho shim and the Irish have taken them off that throne more than all our fingers can add up....dont know who else on this side is assured to beat niehter over on this side

dont see as much anymore splittin the clock and travels between 2 collegiate programs....at least from Booger nose or thinkin Booger nose

Booger just sayin 

New teams finally coming over to D2 will make things interesting. Be cool to see what rivalries develop.  Wish that all the private schools would go to D2.  Just seems to make sense.

I don't get too much out of looking at a score (HH's 1-1 result against Franklin and then their 5-1 loss to USN is strange).  USN's defeat of Harpeth Hall looks to be a decisive win...on paper.  I did hear that HH is down this year.  Also depends on where those games were played.  Is HH still playing on that tiny turf field?

ND and CCS will be organized...well coached teams.  What about CAK?  Any news from the west?

Have a pretty good sample now. 

1. USN

2.a. CPA

2.b. BGA

What is your sample?  Who have you seen play?  Curious.

You come on here and show disrespect to probably the most successful high school soccer coach in the state of Tennessee over the last 15 years.

Best of luck to all the teams across the state.  Post some scores to keep everyone up to date.

Early results include:

USN 1

USJ 0

FRA 0

St George 2

BGA 3

St Mary 1

Stats can be a bit misleading, but I did not watch the game.  How is Greenville's team this year?  Anyone know?  They were tough last year.

USN 1

USJ 0

 

Huge upset!!!

While it may be a bit surprising because it is on the road, I would not call that a huge upset.  USN has been giving teams trouble lately.  I believe they have put USJ out the last couple of years.

Those who speak don't know. Those who know don't speak.

French's little sister has been playing all season long for BGA to my knowledge.  

Older sister, on the other hand, played none during the regular season.  I only posted after reading a post that she "was head and shoulders the best player on the field that night" against USN, sounding like a first-hand account of a situation I knew to be false. Sorry if I misunderstood your original post. 

It does look like she is beginning to get some very limited minutes now. First game back was not until postseason and she has not played against USN yet this year.  But I am sure that having her in any kind of (limited) capacity is a welcomed sight for BGA. 

Good stuff! The race between FRA , BGA and USN is crazy. It's akin to the Williamson county schools being so competitive and able to challenge for the title.

 

I disagree about USN being the front runner now. I know I've been on their bandwagon all year but the BGA game showed what French could do. She was head and shoulders the best player on the field that night IMO. There were plenty of good players but she stood out. One of those three is going to play for the title IMO.

 

BTW I really like WH. They have a very large number of good freshmen players. Probably the deepest class of the teams I'm familiar with including Franklin, Ravenwood and DCA. We have seven freshmen that are nice HS players and WH has more than that. I'm not saying DCA has any world beaters just that it's a big class with better than average "HS" players. No bragging here Booger so don't start.

Not sure where you are getting your information:  BGA's French has been injured all season and never stepped onto the field against USN.  Whether BGA gets her back in any significant capacity before the end of the season remains to be seen.
