We'll see how impressive they are in 2 weeks when they finally play some tough competition - Oak Ridge, Farragut and Greeneville at their Fall Classic weekend tournament.

It looks like AA and DII really beat up on AAA this past week (at the Collierville tourny and CAK besting Greeneville)

Must have been a pretty weak tournament if DB was the strongest team

Congratulations on beating Bearden but that game was not yet played when the ranking was released so was not factored into my comments. The team I support has already played Farragut and won but Farragut has a habit of peaking late in the season and it may be a different outcome next time they play. Good luck with the rest of your season.

Fearless is an understatement. 1 on 1 against Tori and you're dead meat. She should have been the GK for the boy's team last year.

If they are current - there is some explaining to do - like how can a 1-4-1 team that has lost to 2 unranked teams can be in the top 20 let alone the top 11.

Thanks - my bad - it's so confusing having 06 scores and 05 standings. I'll try to be more patient. (Still think mjuhb's is the best).

I think it's run with a flip of a coin or a bunch of guys in a back room smoking cigars.

Well the rankings are in - finally - but I'll go with mjuhb's rankings any day. Centennial in the top 11 with a 1-4-1 record having lost to Maryville and Shelbyville Central?? Brentwood 4 below Gtown Houston when Brentwood just beat Gtown?? Farragut was given a gift at #10 Can't wait to see the comments today

check with your school's trainer or a local college trainer - they should have some. Also check with your local medical supply/home health shops. They may be able to get you one quick.

I wouldn't knock mjuhb or his polls. We all know something about 1 maybe 2 teams but he knows alot about many teams. He is a legend on CoachT and I suspect he will soon be inducted into the CoachT Hall of Fame.

Greeneville's Tori Hadjopoulos (GK) and Michelle Meade (Striker).

It really is a pleasure to read the posts between these 2 teams. There is certainly mutual respect concerning both sides. It is the epitomy of sportsmanship.

To the young men who played this game - I feel honored to have seen you play. It was a great game played to the limits. Don't let all this "other stuff" diminish what you all have accomplished this year. Good luck to Farragut - bring it back to East TN. Great season Science Hill - I watched you play 4 times this year. You are a great team. To everyone else. There are 2 sides to every argument and no one has all the facts. No one.

Wow. I'm eating my words right now. I really thought MW's defense would keep them in the game. Good luck to both Bearden and Farragut.

I wouldn't say there wasn't soccer played today. I didn't have a horse in this race - just wanted to see the game since I live in Johnson City (ok I was quietly routing for SH since they beat my favorite team) but I would say it was two teams trying very hard to win. I had never seen Farragut play before but I feel they played an excellent game very pretty soccer but they were also able to play it physical with SH. I was really impressed with them. Sorry SH but I do think they were the better team today. Congrats to Farragut. Your graduation tonight will be all the more sweet. Also congrats to Science Hill on a great season.

3 goals off PK's! 2 for Farragut and 1 for SH. The 4th goal for Farragut was with about 10 seconds left in stoppage on an open goal since the SH goalie was playing up at sweeper. Eddie Y shot some of those rigth footed rockets from the 18 hitting the upper bar but not the back of the net. Eddie got a red card deep into stoppage and wouldn't have been able to play the first game of states if SH won. I felt the game was extremely physical with players (mostly Farragut's) going down one after another. I think it was Ben B who was carried off the field in the 2nd half. He was fouled in the box AFTER his shot missed wide - that was a dumb foul on SH's part resulting in one of the pk's). I was sitting on the Farragut side of the bleachers and there was lot of fans complaining about the refs but I felt the center kept control of the game considering how hard both of these teams were playing. It was a good compromise between letting em play and not letting it get out of control.

you know Bearden.

Unfortunately for the Farragut players, they will need to get up about 6am to get to the bus, drive 2 hours, get to the field by 9 and warm up for a 10am game while the SH guys get to sleep in. That's not cool either. I guess there is no perfect solution to the situation. Then again, that's why winning for home field advantage is so important.

Actually, I don't think last night's goals are reflected in your total. Someone from MW correct me if I'm wrong - they gave up only 4 in regular season and 3 to Greeneville last week in tourny play. And by the way - MW only gave up 1 goal in play last night. 3 came on pk's after regulation and overtime play. Do they/should they count? They have a very solid defense. Possibly the best. As far as their schedule goes - they were hampered by the cancellation of the Barry Redmond where they could have proven themselves further. However, They have played #4 Science Hill twice winning one and playing them even for 110 minutes last night. I think that is proof they can play with the big boys.

Great news indeed! Thanks for the update. I'll be there routing for Region 1.

Yes - you are right. These 2 teams represent the best in Region 1 and both have the potential to move on past Saturday. I have not seen either Farragut or Bearden play and I am sure they are as formidable as always but neither game will be a cake walk for them as in previous years. Good luck to both Morristown West and Science Hill.

Both of these teams are very strong. As it should be, the 2 best teams in the region will playing. It will be an excellent MoWest defense against an equally excellent SH offense. Unfortunatley, one has to lose but I feel confident both of these teams will make this year's sub-state with Bearden and Farragut a real battle.

Great game, Science Hill. Congrats. SH completely dominated the game and looked like a championship team. Number8 - you looked good but Eddie Y - well he looked great. Good luck to both SH and MW on Thursday.
