Glencliff vs Overton

[YellowCardFever]

We play Overton on Tuesday. The only common opponent we've had is Hillsboro. They won 4-3, us 3-0. That in itself proves nothing. They have definately played a tougher schedule than us and have been playing well lately. We also are playing better avenging a 3-0 district loss in regular season with a 2-1 win in the finals. Should be a fun game..our schools are only about 1o miles away fron each other and most of us know each other pretty well. Any thoughts?

Ten miles apart? Maybe 5 tops.....

 

It will be the battle of Kurdistan, that's for sure! Seriously, all the kids at these two schools get along pretty well and like to see the other school do well against other teams.

 

Common opponents mean nothing at this point, it will be a hotly contested game with a lot of dribbling and not much passing. I sure hope that "Jim Wilson Field" is in good shape at Glencliff. I have heard that the lines are hard to see sometimes over the tall grass.

I think our mower might be broke so were hoping the high grass slows down your forwards. Now I just have to decide which national anthem to play /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> As for the field after our real football team has only won 2 games the last two years and we've been in the district finals 3 of last 4 years and won twice they might want a name change...maybe Coach Staggs field /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I predict Overton.

Overton 1-0

 

Watch out for Glencliff in the years to come, they had a lot of freshmen ans sophmores who started and played meaningful roles. I believe there was only one senior on the field that played a lot (#10 Sindi who is a big loss). Their best player #12 Abdullah is just a junior as well. If they can hold it all together I expect big things from the Colts in 2008 and 2009.

 

And yes Williamson County, they can play with any of your teams next year too....

Overton isn't going to be anybody's pushover next seaason either. JV's had to play major minutes late in the season due to so many groin pulls. The whole team played with heart into unchartered territory and now have some seasoning. Pimental will be a monster force with assists and goals next season as will Izzie Cortes and super frosh Ivan Villanueva. The defense will need to be rebuilt however with the defensive line and rear midfield all seniors. If the team gets on the Nautilus like some of the others in district, speed and power could content into sectionals again.

[BigPoppa]

Pimentel will not be able to compete next year will be 19 on July 27th, TSSAA guideline prohibit players who turn 19 prior to August 1 from participating. Really stinks for the kid, he has only been in high school for 3 years.

 

Cortes and Villanueva will be counted on heavily to secure the central midfield for the Bobcats along with LM Waled Tayib and most likely RM Nizhyar Dosky. Both players started at times during the 2007 postseason run and both players provided quality play at the varsity level during the tournament. The goal should be secure with Nicolas Navarro and Ahmed Al-Zhyri competing for the starting keeper position. The key to 2008 for the Bobcats though will be the development of the backline defenders (all of the 2007 starters Tran, Acevedo, Hazen, and Adams are big, big losses). The only returning striker is Pato Mendoza who will be counted on heavily next year to put the ball in the back of the net quite a bit.
