CAK vs. Catholic district championship

[BigG]

While the other one was closed, I wanted to open one up if anyone wanted to make any comments about the game and were unable to.

 

I agree with Uniden's comment about our game in the Farragut Bearden thread. This was one of the best high school games I have seen in recent years. It wasn't the "ooh and ahh" factor, but a battle of two teams that I feel are so even in talent (though in different spots). Very hard paced, not a whole lot of subs, just guys working their legs when they ran out of gas some 20 minutes earlier.

 

I was very impressed with Chase. He not only is a strong player, but he really made a difference in the over time periods.

 

I am glad we faced a pressure PK situation. My guys can hit pk's in practice again and again, when there is "nothing" on the line, and when your legs aren't dead. It was a good lesson to face in a game that didn't end your season.

I'm a terrible pk shooter. I could hit them in practice. I was in in like 4 shootouts in my club days, and never made a pk /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

 

Wish I could of seen this game. If both teams advance, when will the next one be?

Im assuming it would be at Knox Catholic. If its not on Friday of next week I will DEF. be there this time.

If both teams advance, it'll be Thursday at Catholic. I imagine at 7, as that's the normal game time.

I would have to agree with you Coach G, Chase seems to really make a difference off and on the field, I wish him luck and I am sure Catholic will really miss him next year

Could either the CAK or the Catholic games be an upset?

 

Does Seymour have a chance against the Irish?

 

How about ALcoa against CAK?

Alcoa has done a great job getting ready for this game. Coach Gorman has scheduled some very good teams in regular season (Bearden, Maryville, Christian Brothers, Oak Ridge to name a few) so they will not be intimidated at all in facing CAK. They have an incredible keeper, who last year played outstanding in this game. It will be a tough match. No gimmies here.
