Mr. Soccer AAA

QUOTE(footfairy10 @ May 28 2007 - 05:51 PM) 826468527[/snapback]I agree that Ben Backstrom and Jake Russell from Farragut should be Mr. Soccer.

 

I wasn't at the Beardon/Farragut game, but if a player is recieving red cards and is know for his temper on the field, I wouldn't think that the state of Tennessee would want someone to represent Mr. Soccer iwth that kind of behavior. Remember, I am only going by what I read, I don't know the kid or anything. In fact in our game he just played hard and showed great sportsmanship.

 

Not sure what the qualifications are for MR. Soccer which I would think on and off the field behavior, academics etc... would all be assessed. I didn't get see Backstrom play till the other night, he is definitely a great player, but I would think character on the field would be something that is looked at.

bradley jacobs brentwood

 

he led brentwood with 25 goals and 16 assists

 

you have kids like brandon tarr and alez darisnos that when get there pace they look like they're floating

 

but bradley has a aggressive pace that sets him apart from any other player kind of like steven gerrard

 

others: matt lightfoot houston

brain walker bearden

alex widner bearden

Yeah he usually shows good sportsmanship but he made a bad mistake in the championship game but he also had a 4.2 GPA during his high school career which is pretty impressive

Gatorade Player of the Year went to Tom Webster of Bearden. This award is given to the best soccer player in the state for the 2007 season. Is Mr. Soccer a separate award?

[ihavenofriendzz]

What did Webster's stats look like? I know stats aren't everything, but I am curious.

is that for club or highschool or both?

Tom Webster's award was for the best high school player in TN for the 2007 season. The award recognizes athletic achievement, academic performance, and overall character. He finished the season with about 18 goals.

QUOTE(Mueller @ May 26 2007 - 12:05 AM) 826467336[/snapback]Some other Key players whose teams did well:

 

Backstrom - Farragut

Walker - Bearden

Reed - Blackman

Yah- Science Hill

Sixtos - Independence

Putman - Cookeville

Brown - Hendersonville

Moorad - Ravenwood

Chumjock - Gallatin

Dent, Jacobs - Brentwood

 

 

Yah of Science hill - should definitely be consider, but don't know if players on teams that didn't make it to state are actually consider by whoever picks the player. But definitely a player with promising talent and the ability to go very far. Ended the season with 23 goals, 13 Assists and put up an entertaining performance even while loosing to a well organized state champs(Farragut) in the sectionals.
