one of the best players in my opinion in TN soccer would have to be phillip stack...he was an all american his sophmore and senior years, im not sure what happened his junior year...he got a full ride to vanderbilt

i must agree irish17, the BG is a beast out there. when he's not stopping goals on the defensive side at sweeper, he's makin runs and givin out assists up top like a forward. and, as we all know, he most CERTAINLY WILL NOT be denied!!

I would definitely say that Matt Herbstritt is the best soccer player in TN history. He has led the team in scoring the past two seasons and last night broke the school record for goals in a season. He plays on the #1 team in the nation and always steps up in the big games. Herby will have a few more things to say down in the nooga to add to his maturing legacy.

I agree matt is a great high school player but not the best in TN history. Dont forget about the several guys that have gone pro that played in Memphis. Also his scoring record is great but older bearden teams didnt play a weak heritage twice in a season to get easy goals against. He's great but not the best.,

A coach and his player. Ross Pauly from Houston was pretty darn good also. Plus I've heard his coach Mike Irby was pretty darn good also. Someone fill me in on 2 things: where did Pauly go to college and where did Irby go to high school and college?

i played under irby!!! he is one heck of a guy!!! he can be real rude or real cool!! anyways on the question! he played at clarksville high school...scored like 50 some odd goals...all everything you can possible be! he went to western kentucky university!! where from what i hear did awesome there too! he was a tremendous player from what coach donahue says!!! which coached him forever!!! well, there you go!!! i played against russ and that dude was amazing too!!! one more thing i heard of irby was....during one of his matches he took a shot from 20 out and hit it so hard he knocked the keeper with the ball back in the goal....now that has to be some strength behing the ball!!!! irby has my vote!!!!

Ross Paule played at Creighton in Nebraska and he is still playing for the Colorado Rapids in the MLS.

I would have to say the greatest in this state was KYLE ROTE. Played for a private school in Chattanooga back in the 60-70's. Also played professionally. Son of great NFL football player.

If you saw yesterday's game between Bearden and Cordova you would agree with me that Matt Herbstritt is the best player ever. He had one goal, two assists, and many other chances that wouldn't fall through. On one play he had the ball on the end-line, then faked inside took it around the defender, and lofted it over the goalie's head where Derick Radcliffe was there to put it in. On the next goal he juked one defender, pulled the ball through three more, and then shot. The deflected shot was picked up by Victor Upshaw for the goal. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, Matt Herbstritt is the greatest high school player ever.
