Definitely Adam Greene from Farragut.

 

I believe he has been the only keeper on his club team for 3-4 years. They've won the D1 state cup two years in a row, the Region III southern division premier league last year, and now with Farragut, the state HS championship.

 

I don't think any other keeper in the state can match that record.

 

Plus, I read that he just signed with Marshall University.

 

Walker is great - no doubt about it, but Bearden always plays 4-5 defenders in front of him. Farragut usually played two or three in front of Greene this year - at least in the games I saw. Greene saw a LOT more pressure. He and his defenders probably would have gotten a lot more attention if the Farragut coaches weren't so obsessed with publicizing their offense...

I think based just on High School performance, I would say Brian Walker. Based on high school and club I would say Adam Greene. Adam struggled some in high school games, some games he struggled a ton, others not so much.

B-Walk is better but adam is still good and what are u talking about "publicizing the offense". That has nothing to do with how you play on the field.

I almost think he is trying to say that the coaches cared more about scoring than playing defense. That maybe they didn't care if they got a shutout, because they knew that they had the offense to outscore any team. He also could be saying Farragut put alot more attention on offense, like having 4 or more players attacking at all times and only have 3 defenders at all times. I don't know though.

    • Honestly the A.D. may be powerless at Maryville to some degree versus other schools. I know he has his hands full with GoFan and all the stupid surprises just from the emails he sends out during the season.
    • Harriman was better than what I anticipated. They had good skill guys and a QB that’s gonna make a lot of teams look silly. They had some silly pre snap penalties but it’s just spring and I guess that’s expected.    Oneida looks the part. They are big upfront and got a stable of backs that’s gonna carry them this year. They have a few playmakers at receiver also. They have a new receiver that has only played basketball till this year and he is very athletic. The question is can we find a QB to consistently get them the ball. They played 2-3 kids there and none looked great but they didn’t look awful either. The  defense is gonna be tough again but it’s very early and a lot can change between now and the fall.     It was good just to get out and watch some ball. I don’t know if Oneida has the team to win the region this year but just what I saw tonight I think they may be in the conversation come November.
