We have always played very aggressive style of soccer ever since we started the program. None of us are the prissy type of girls with ribbons in our hair. We have no one to impress, and we are very proud of our accomplishments this year. It may not meet up to your alls standards, but going along with what I previously said others opinions does not matter much to us at all. Our county is very proud of what we've done and that's all we need. We are the first soccer team in our county including AAA Greeneville High to ever make it to state. We aren't like FRA and are in state every year almost. So I guess us being a small public school and making it to state earns everybody the right to bad mouth us freely, apparently. FRA is a very good team. The only team that was capable of beating us that we played just so happened to be the best team in the state. So we don't hang our heads for losing to them. But Oldleadfoot is right. Most of us go on to play another sport. Actually we've been conditioning for basketball ever since school started. Basketball conditioning during fourth period and then we'd go straight to soccer practice. Monday we have basketball at 10 in the morning and our soccer just ended yesterday. But thanks Oldleadfoot for that post. You are one of the few how can come off their high horse and say something good about us. And Hoya is right in saying that none of us play for a club team. One girl on our team is on a traveling soccer team, but thats it. She is a junior and plays mid field. But again for the aggresivness we displayed in the semi-finals, we were slightly more physical than the FRA girly-girls, but we got fouled quite a few times too. I guess no one saw that, especially not the referees. We give what we get plus some. We may have been out skilled, but not out hustled and there isn't a team in the state as physical as we are. You all may say that's not a good thing to be, but soccer is a contact sport.

Frist of all Kristi, I would like to congratulate you and your CD team for a job well done for the season. But, your comment about AAA Greeneville not making it to the state needs some clarification. Greeneville should be playing in the AA division along with you. However, Greeneville is playing in the AAA division which is a much tougher division. Now if you want to talk about goin' to the state and playing physical maybe you need to bump up in the AAA division and run with the big dogs one season! Then if you succeed in that division maybe you can brag about being the only school in the county that has ever gone to the state. Since everyone on this thread seems to think that you need to play some stiffer competition, why doesn't CD add Greeneville High, Dobyns Bennett, and Science Hill to next years schedule. Just think if you beat all of those teams, CD will get some strong recognition and some well deserved rankings for playing some stronger competition. Like Mikey says "Try it, you'll like it!"

It looks like Greeneville girls finally got all their players on the same page. They played an awsome game defensively and offensively the entire 80 minutes. Being that Greeneville had been trash talked about in the past, tonight they showed what a team effort could do to come out on top with a 3 - 0 win against DB. Good luck to Greeneville in the upcoming games!
