Congratulations to Lawrenceburg! I thought they were the most improved team I saw play this season. Besides hard work, what can the huge improvement be attributed to? Did they have new coaches or players?

Pretty much what I thought! Against weaker competition it is easier to get the ball yourself and score. Against stronger competition a teammate will have to get the ball to you. And what I saw of Page in preseason was not a team that could help in a tough game. That's pretty sad! It is unbelievable that the coach allows this. I didn't realize this is what was happening when I read the ESPN article. Really cheapens this accomplishment.

Wish we had referees that were that diligent and conscientious. Referees in our part of the state arrive 5 minutes before the game and I have never seen them check the field at all.

Good Luck Courtney! CA is already missing you this season!

I don't understand the reason Spring Hill was moved to District 12 either. It looks like district 11 now has 12 teams and district 12 has 18 teams according to their website - plus Spring Hill generally either wins the district or is runner-up. Anyway, it should be a 3 way battle in district 12 between Spring Hill, CA and Giles County. Spring Hill will be tough with Crystal Mac returning and at least 4-5 girls with travel experience. Columbia Academy's biggest loss was their goalie graduating, but they still have 5 strong players returning who all play for Div I travel teams. If they can bring their freshmen and new players along they have a good shot also. They were put out last year in sectionals by CPA in OT. Giles County had a tremedous year last year - came in 2nd in District and beat CA 1-0 to win the region, then gave powerhouse FRA a decent match. I don't know who Giles lost to graduation, but I know their main scorer, Natasha Reynolds is a Junior and should be ready for a big year. Last year they played tough defense and relied on her to score. My prediction for this season from what I saw last season: 1. CA 2. Spring Hill 3. Giles County

Any idea why the M'boro team is not in the State League this season? Did they split up?

Are there any U-16 state games scheduled this weekend? I looked at the schedule on the TN State site and it seems to be incorrect.

Wondering how the teams looked this weekend?

I'm not familiar with the 93 Metros team playing in the U-16 State league. Anyone know anything about this team?

CA - 3 Spring Hill - 2 CA goals - Emily Crane, Kate Hayes, Lauren Lomax SH goals - Mackazyk (PK), Haley Warf Any details on the Page-Giles game?

I have a question about how a game is scored in the case of a shootout. I understand if the score is tied 1-1 going into the shootout that the winner would be declared by a score of 2-1. Are the players scoring on the PKs credited with a "goal scored"? Just wondering how this would look in the box score.
