I believe the men's head coach from Tusculum was there watching his son play.........I wouldn't expect any calls though. And you're right, JT is just an average soccer player and he would agree with you but he doesn't post on coachT so I'll say it for him.

Apparently Tusculum thinks he is good enough. They signed him.

The Jeff County goalie played a heck of a game. I expressed that to his father after the game. I don't have the exact stats but he stopped about 20 shots on goal and he may be a freshman but he did great. He won that game for Jeff County. The score was 1-0 with the goal coming on a direct kick. I would be interested in the shot count.

Nobody in Greeneville thought it was funny. I found it in poor taste and am glad to hear Robert and Garren had nothing to do with it.

Prior to moving to TN my son played soccer at a private school much like CAK. They just never lost. When we arrived here he was in the 8th grade and there just wasn't much in the way of traveling teams. The local boys team recruited females to get enough to field a team. Needless to say they got pounded every game by 12, 15, 18 goals. It was a humbling experience for him. Now, in high school, he is very good and is on a strong team again with some very weak conference teams and he could easily score if he wanted but he remembers how it felt getting laughed at just because he wanted to play soccer. So he plays the ball back if the goal dosn't matter. It's made him a better player and a better person. Unless you have been there you simply cannot imagine the pain and humiliation that running up the score causes someone.

Agree! Agree! Agree!

So after 1 week of play, what do all of you in Regions 1 and 2 think? Is it still Bearden and Farragut or does anyone think Science Hill or Sullivan South has a chance? What about Maryville or Morristown West. Also Tenn High is doing well.

Who are the "nice offensive weapons" ? Do you think they will do as well as last year? So far not good.

Actually, #8, I think this is the most eloquent thing I have read on CoachT. I think I will tape it on my son's wall.

Where are the moderators for this board? This kind of posting should be deleted ASAP.

Great recruiting!

There have been several posts not only on this thread but other sports threads concerning Greeneville's success in sports being a result of "recruiting". "You" mentioned in the post probably wasn't referring to you personally but to "you" collectively answering those others. You just happened to at the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't take it personally. The confusion is partly due to County residents given the choice of sending their kids to the city school if they pay tuition (although I think only 1 varsity BB player is from the county and he dosn't start). Also, people out of the area can't understand why anyone would move to Greeneviile. I think the previous post explains that. Come to Greenville and see for yourself.

Obviously, if Hamilton loses to Greeneville they would no longer be considered the best team in the state and there would be no reason for them to play siegel to prove your point.
