Any more details on the game? scorers? and people with the moves?

Don't know names, but Science Hill controlled much of the play. The Maryville Goalkeeper made a ESPN Top 10 play on a rocket shot by a Science Hill player late in the second half. Maryville scored on a PK in the first half, and a missed offside call in the second half led to a Maryville player going one-on-one with the Science Hill Goalkeeper. On that second goal, the Maryville player scored on a beautiful chip over the SH keeper's outstretched arms. No. 10 for Maryville was by far their best field player, but was not able to free himself very often. No. 10 and No. 9 for Science Hill had good games.

Science Hill got in the lead on a goal from Eddie in the first half, than Maryville got a PK and equal the score. 1-1 at half time. Second half, SH got in the lead again on a goal from Parker, Maryville struggle and got another goal from Karl to tie the score. SH held more possession of the ball and kept the pressure on top. Karl, Parker, Eddie, and Maryville #12 did some incredible moves that left defenders crazy. Overall, Maryville struggle for a tie at home.

After missing their match with CAK in Knoxville, I wanted to make sure I got to Maryville to see this Science Hill team play. We in Knoxville don't get to see them very often. Some soccer friends of mine in Johnson City have been sending me information on the team, and have told me that Science Hill has been feasting on lesser quality teams early in this season. They told me the loss to CAK was due to defensive lapses. Does this mean Science Hill can't beat the quality teams? Well, they haven't yet, but it seems to be more due to the fact they haven't faced quality opponents as of yet (with the exception of CAK, and now to a lesser extent, Maryville). In East Tennessee, with the decline of Dobyns Bennett, Science Hill should make it through the Regionals to again face a Knoxville team in the subs. I am told Sullivan South will test them, but playing on the big field in Johnson City (so say my Johnson City friends), will give the edge to Science Hill. I did see the Science Hill-Oak Ridge sub-state match last season, and was impressed with the Civitan Park facility. The big fields will give teams, who are accustomed to playing on football fields, big trouble. No Knoxville team will be able to make throw-in passes to the Penalty Mark on those fields!

 

In the match against Maryville, the Science Hill team I saw controlled much of the play, had many quality opportunities, but just couldn't seem to finish. Lack of talent? It doesn't look like it. It does look to be inexperience, not playing off of each other, and keeping the ball on their foot two or three touches too many. They were steady in the midfield. Their defense is stubborn, but like their front line, looked inexperienced. Yes, they should have beaten Maryville. It is still early in the season, but this Science Hill team, if they continue to improve, will be a formidable opponent for our Region's representative come late May. I'm looking forward to it.

    • And that needs to go, Charter ,private ,magnet,city and any school that operates differently than pure public schools should be separated. What really needs to be done is address urban and rural. About all the usual powers have access to several kids from other schools period.
    • Sad deal. Hate it. So the coach that kicked her off is now fired?? 
    • Slightly off topic from a gender standpoint but just observed several boys volleyball games in the Knoxville area for a short spring season. The guys seemed to have a great time. There were several club players on each team but several football, basketball and tennis players involved. Knoxville Catholic, Maryville, Heritage, Knoxville West maybe William Blount had teams. Thanks to Coach Brent Carter from Knoxville Catholic/K2 for getting it together. I’m sure the coaches involved got several laughs trying to coach guys that really had no idea what they were talking about but pretty athletic and competitive. Catholic’s best basketball player told the coach he had played a lot of 2:3 and 1:3:1 but never a 3:3 LOL Maybe it will catch on with some more schools next year.
