Congrats to Webb on a great season!

Catholic went to state 5 straight years in D II. Twice to the semi-finals. The soccer team was quite content in D II.

BTW, I think this will be the best game in Knoxville on Thursday.

Catholic ??“ CAK Rivalry by the numbers (Senior Classes) 07 District Finals: Catholic 1-1 (penalty kick win, Derosa has three saves) 07 Regular Season: Catholic 1-0 (ck goal by Martinez) 06 State Final: CAK 1-0 06 Region Final: CAK 2-1 (OT, game winner by Sam Ferguson direct kick) 06 District Final: Catholic 2-0 06 Regular Season: tie 0-0 (first time in same classification??¦only boring game between these teams) 05 Regular Season: CAK 1-0 (Tarr scores first HS goal) 04 Regular Season: Catholic 2-0 Summary: Catholic: 4 wins (one via pks) CAK: 3 wins 1 tie Total Goals: Catholic 7 CAK 5 Shutouts (75% of time one goal would have been enough to win): Catholic 4 CAK 3 3/8 games ended regulation tied, only one game decided by more than one goal...

Both teams advance to state, playa.

I'm sure it was a great game. However, CAK and Catholic's 110 minute battle was the best game I've seen all year.

He is just making predictions

Now you are just reaching for that bulliten board material...

I've seen this formation from Bearden as well. No lie, four flat defenders in the back, 40-50 yards of space, and then 6 forwards across the front line.

That makes more sense than 5-2 straight up that was shown on another thread.

Karns 5- Oak Ridge 2 (on PKs) (Posted in the results thread above) This could be the biggest one yet

There is a rule that prevents scheduling a game just to avoid a suspension anyway. Per TSSAA, the suspension is to be served in the next scheduled game. This is shy you are supposed to register your schedule with TSSAA at the beginning of a season. If a game is added just before a suspension game for a player, he can play that game, but must sit out the next game on the original schedule. I assume the first district game would be considered a "scheduled" game.

#2 and #3 were from throw-ins. They are more dangerous than corners.

I guess there was plenty of room for Walker Valley and Bradley Central in the out of district schedule...

preseason was a long time ago

Did they actually try to sub a player in a field jersey for the keeper?

I hope Brandon recovers well. I know it was a hard hit because it looks like Chase put a golf ball under his eye brow. #7 and Brian Beckham knocked heads pretty good too. Catholic now heads to take on highly ranked Notre Dame and CCS, as well as Sweetwater, in Chattanooga.

Don't know that we can pull it off of your hard drive...

I'm sure West likes seeing this topic up already.

Are you asking overall or within the classification. I do not think anyone has been undefeated overall, but I may be corrected. During the first two years of A/AA (96' and 97'), Notre Dame was undefeated against all A/AA competition.

Zon, According to Mr. Leader, the proper activity for staying in shape over spring brake is to "throw some nets."

This is copied from D3kicks.com. This happened in a women;s college game with post season implications (I had actually posted this in the club soccer forum last fall). 11/4/06 - A Tale of True Sportsmanship While many of you may have heard or seen the final result from the recent Framingham vs. Bridgewater women’s match, the following is an account of the actual events of the game, and how a team chose sportsmanship and fair play over victory. On October 29th, the Framingham State women took on Bridgewater State, in a must win for Framingham. Bridgewater was in first place in the MASCAC and needed to win to earn the conference title, while Framingham State was in fifth place (of the 7 team MASCAC) and needed the win to qualify for the MASCAC tournament. Bridgewater controlled the first half although they failed to score. It was 0-0 at halftime. About 7 minutes into the second half a ball was played in front of the Bridgewater goal from the flank. The ball rattled around in traffic and ended up in the back of the net. Although the ball was in the net, the Framingham coaches felt there was something odd about the goal as their girls weren't celebrating wildly. Two of the Framingham players, the freshman forward who took the shot, Kellen Doughterty from Amherst, MA and the attacking central midfielder, Carolyn Reinstein from Ashland, MA, both ran to the bench and told the coaches the ball had passed through the side netting and was not a goal. The players were instructed to tell the referee. After conferring with his AR for a few minutes, the referee mysteriously awarded the goal. As Bridgewater State lined up, the Framingham players were instructed by their coach to permit Bridgewater State to score a goal uncontested. As it was a very windy day, not all of the players heard the instruction but eventually Senior Captain Karin Knutsen, and Senior Goalkeeper Ashley Baker conveyed the instructions, and Bridgewater was permitted to score uncontested. The score stood at 1-1. The match ended with Bridgewater prevailing 3-2 (or 2-1 without the "non-goals"), Framingham waseliminated from post-season play, and Bridgewater State won the MASCAC. When asked about his decision, Framingham coach Tucker Reynolds said “The decision was an easy one, made even easier by the honorable conduct of my players. I don't coach soccer, I coach young athletes. There were far more important lessons learned by all of us last Sunday than which team could win a game on a windy Sunday afternoon. I have never been more proud of a team than I am of my young Framingham State team right now. They may have lost a game, but they proved that sportsmanship, integrity and a sense of honor are invaluable personal qualities. The Bridgewater State coaches, players, Athletic Department and even some parents have expressed their thanks and gratitude not only for our girls' honesty, but also for allowing their "...toughest MASCAC match of the year..." to be decided fairly. From all of us here at D3Kicks, we would like to say thanks to Framingham State for displaying true sportsmanship and honor, and even though you will not be playing in November, you should hold your heads high because all of you have shown the character of a true champion.

First, let me say that the Farragut JV team is VERY GOOD. Our boys really wanted to win that game and we played well enough to win for about 65 minutes. The goal in question was scored within 5 minutes of the goal Farragut scored to go up 2-1. So, to go down by two was a big hit and quite frustrating. The ball deflected off a free kick and clearly rolled into the goal. As one of the posters mentioned, the referee closer to the goal had a bad angle due to the two ref system (which is commonly used for JV games). Our player retrieved the ball by going around the back of the goal, which may have strengthened the refs opinion that the ball went outside the goal. We began to take the ball towards half field when the ref started motioning that he was awarding us a free-kick. Of course, as any coach would be, I was relieved at first. I assumed he was calling off-sides. We all know off-sides is tough to call and will always be argued. If this was the call, we never would have decided to "award" the goal. By the time it became apparent that he was awarding a goal kick, our sweeper had cleared the ball and play resumed. At that point, I was sure that Farragut had scored a legit goal. In fact, two of our players were confirming the fact that it was a goal to the official and the opposing coach. At this point, I remembered reading the article that I have pasted below. Without reading this article, I would never have thought to do what we did. Coach Leader and I spoke about what to do and we both agreed that Farragut had scored a deserved goal. We really wanted to come back in the game, and we didn't want a 2-2 tie or 3-2 win with an asterisk. We were not able to act very quickly because play had resumed. Fortunately, the ball was played to our keeper only ~2 minutes later. I asked him to put the ball in the net and he understood why immediately. Our players were somewhat surprised, but I was very proud to see that they understood and supported the decision. In fact, they seemed to be motivated by the goal. Despite there desire to win the game, not a single player showed discontent with the decision. They even picked up their play to end the game. In response to the poster concerned with respecting the referees' decision, I understand your concern. Coaches always have a hard time with referees' decisions. I respect both referees that were doing the game. They are experienced and they are good. The fact that the referee who made the decision did not change his mind despite the reaction from all involved proves that he is good ref. He believed in his call and would not be swayed. That is his job. Nevertheless, this was a unique situation, and an opportunity for young people to learn about the difference between competitiveness and fairness. Farragut scored a goal, so they deserved a point. Below is the article I referred to previously. Again, if I had not read this article, I would have never thought to do what we did.

I was very impressed with Sherrod in our game last year. Of course the 40-some goals are inflated due to his schedule, but I think he would score double-digit goals for any of the more recognized teams in the area. And yes, he did come close to scoring against Catholic last year. I thick he put one just passed the post and Joey made a nice save on another. It's too bad he and Tyler don't play on the same club team. It would be fun to watch them play together. (Ever seen the movie Twins?)
