wow this one will definitely be a good one!! after playing both teams and being challenged by both of them. this one will be a close one but i'd have to give it to Science Hill, they just seem overall like the better team. so i have to give it to them. Science Hill 2-0. good luck to both teams though and may the best team win.

I also agree that this game will be an awesome one to watch. While these teams are two of my top choices, I do think that Science Hill has a bit more offensively than Catholic. I think Catholic has the edge in goal, and Science Hill has more size (if I remember correctly). If Catholic can find the net like they did with Farragut, I think they will pull this off with their excellent keeper.

 

Both teams are coming off of recent tough losses, and will be looking for some validation. While I think Science Hill has a bit more talent, I am pulling for Catholic on this one. Catholic-2 Science Hill -1. Good luck to both, you guys have great teams.

 

Hoya, give us details after the game, please.

Depends which Catholic team shows up. In past years, Catholic (not to say Catholic did not have any talent, because they did) has not had nearly the talent as some of their competition has had, but won a lot of games because of their hard working and phyiscal attitude. Catholic beat Science Hill a few years ago 5-0 and then the next year Science Hill beat Catholic 3-1, even after Catholic scored a goal 15 seconds into the game. Should be a good match up.

Catholic has overachieved over the past few years, although last year they underachieved in my opinion, but the three to four previously they definitely overachieved. That just goes to show what good coaching and hard work can get you. This year's squad, with Mike Pierce in goal and Tarricone, Green, Hall, etc. is one of the better squads in the state, but I agree Science Hill has the edge talent-wise, even if it is the smallest of edges. I think Catholic can come away with this one, if only because Mike Pierce saves 1-2 goals a game that most others would give up. Not to say Daniel Sheridan was a bad keeper, but Mike has unreal athleticism for the position. Anyway, as far as predictions go, 1-0 Catholic, with Science Hill feeling cheated after the saves Pierce will make. Also, look out for Mike's brother, Joey, who has a great shot. In fact, I say either him or Brad Green scores it.

Interesting post. Only three DII teams have ever reached the state semis three years in a row (Baylor '98-'01, Christian Brothers '01-'03 and Knox Catholic '02-'04) so I wouldn't label Catholic's 2004 season as "underachieving". Losing last year short of the championship was disappointing, but not underachieving. USN played an excellent game and it wasn't Catholic's day.

 

As for Science Hill, I've seen them play twice this season and they will be a handfull for the Irish. I hope, though, Catholic is focusing more on the Baylor match tomorrow night than worrying about a cross-division match on Saturday.

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.

      Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
