Brentwood - Franklin in a District 11 AAA semi-final:

 

This is one of the great rivalries in TN High School sports. The schools are about 10 mi. apart, 2 consistently strong teams and the games are always important. This should be a great game. Brentwood won the regular season match-up with a goal in the last minute. There will be no love lost and none of these players want to end their season.

 

The game is at 7:00 Wednesday night at Brentwood High School, Centennial will play Ravenwood in the other District 11 AAA semi-final at 5:00 at Brentwood also.

 

If you like soccer and want to be entertained plan to be there.

 

Anyone with thoughts or predictions?

I believe this game will be a lot more intense than their first regular season meeting. Franklin will definitely come out stronger and they will have their starting goal keeper who missed the first game due to an illness; I also heard that one of Brentwood's strong forwards got hurt. Is there any truth to that?

This should be a big game with a lot of emotion, but why would anyone believe "Franklin will come out stronger"??????That implies (after losing round 1 that Franklin didn't really come out to win....I don't believe that...or are you saying that Franklin didn't care about winning the first game??? If so, why didn't they come out a strong as possible for such a big rivalry game.....shoot for any game! I hate it when people lose a game and then imply they weren't really up to play a game or they were emotionally drained from a previous game, etc......And I saw the 2nd goal (not the first one) at Round 1....no one's starting or back up goalie stops the 2nd goal! I hope both teams come out with their best "clean" game ......and I don't have dog in the fight (I use "fight" advisedly) but I'm pulling for Brentwood to send Franklin home for the season :thumb: ...good luck Bruins...and I hope you all come out healthy....always a concern :)

By stronger I mean Franklin will be more ready to play than they were in the first game against Brentwood. I hope Franklin pulls the upset against Brentwood and sends them home ;)

 

 

If Franklin wins, not sure it would be much of an "upset" as BOTH teams are not near as strong as they have been in past years . . . making them both fairly even in my opinion.

No "dog in the fight", but you consistently pull against Franklin. It was true last year and it appears to be true again this year. Since I truly do not have a dog in the fight, I wish the FRA Lady Rebels the best through the remainder of their season! They have quite a tradition of soccer excellence to build upon.

 

As for the Franklin Lady Rebels, congratulations on a great win! This is one alumni parent that is proud of achievements this year and knows you have the ability to make a run in the playoffs. We have 10 in the bag, now bring back #11. Again, congratulations!

 

It is regrettablle that two fine squads such as Brentwood and Centennial will not advance. They are likely better than some soccer teams that will advance to State. However, you have to win the big games that count to go on. I feel your pain as Franklin met a similar fate the last two years. Nonetheless, kudos to both Brentwood and Centennial for the strong seasons they had!

Congrats to RHS they played their hearts out. I hope they go all the way! Their coach is great and the girls have lots of heart! No CHS and BHS wont advance but Im sure this will push them on to do amazing things next year cause both teams are young and full of promise. CHS over came a lot through their season and should be commended in an awesome run. Go lady Cougars!

    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
