Houston 1 Centennial 0

 

Centennial played without Anna Fisher (out with injury) and starting keeper.

 

Centennial has three great opportunities to score in last 2 minutes, but could not get ball in the net.

 

Houston is the most physical high school team I have ever seen. In a close called game, they could be in trouble. In this game, the refs let teams play and to Houston's credit they played it physical to the hilt. Both Morgan Thomas and Carolyn Davis went out of the game temporaily with injuries after hard hits from Houston players. If you go up for a header, expect to be knocked down by Houston player. However, if the refs are not calling it, Houston played to their strength.....physical play.

 

Good game by both teams.

ECS scored 4 goals on someone.

 

Was it the starting keeper you referred to?

did ECS score 4 goals on the "starting" keeper?

After a 3.5 hr bus ride and a very physical game with Houston, an injured Centennial team ran completely out of gas for their 2nd game of the day against a good ECS team and lost 4-2. The 1st goal for ECS was scored by a Centennial player and 2 others on indirect kicks just out of the box. Refs were not allowing any physical play and Centennial didn't make adjustments from the physical game the refs allowed in the Houston game. Centennials starting keeper was back but had no chance of making the saves on 3 of the 4 goals.

If they make it I don't see why they're in trouble. Everyone coming to the state will come with a full tank. There won't be any 3.5 hour bus ride followed by 2 games in the same day.

i hate break but all the top 10 teams take long road trips but when they lose they don't make the long trip has a excuse for losing so they better get used to taking long trips because if they don't they are in trouble

I don't see why anyone can't knock off Houston....they only win by usually one goal....1-0 with White Station....they better watch out come state time....it could take just one to beat them...could be ANYBODY!!!!!

when you play defense like they do you only need one goal there physical play can get in the other teams head but the only way i see anybody beating them is if someone hits 2 or 3 direct free-kicks of course it is hard to attack when you are laying on the ground

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
