7AAA

[soccertaxi]

I know no one has ever cared about Blackman, especially considering our HORRIBLE season last year, but this year we gained 3 talented freshmen.

 

and the juniors who tentatively led the team last year will be able to take more control, which was something that was holding us back last year. no one really knew if they could listen to us.

 

i think we may prove more of a threat this year.

 

 

Have heard some good things about the Freshman. Heard they scored all the points this weekend. Has anyone seen the games? Who have they played? How do you think they will do against Riverdale and Siegel?

The Blackman girls soccer team is off to a 3-1-1 start in 2007.

 

The Blaze went 2-1-1 at a tournament in Kentucky over the weekend and returned to Tennessee to defeat USN 5-3 Tuesday.

 

Coach Bill Vice is starting six underclassmen, and he say's they're making a difference. Freshman Kati Smith scored her 10th goal Tuesday, and the Blackman record for goals in a season is 14.

 

The Blaze received a valiant effort from senior goalkeeper Hannah Sparks on Tuesday, as well.

 

"She played sick," Vice said. "She stepped up."

 

Vice also said the performances of freshmen Baker Thomas and Stephanie Terry were impressive.

 

I have a strong bias, but it appears that they are really starting to come together as a team. At times they look like "world-beaters" but can also look young at other times. So far, they have played Lincoln Co., Lavergne, and USN from TN, The teams that they played in the KY tournament were University Heights, Hopkinsville (2-4-0); Dixie Heights, Edgewood (0-8-0); Murray High, Murray (5-1-2); and Heath High (6-0-0) out of the Padukah area. The tie with Murray (1-1) was achieved with under 1 min to play. The loss to Heath came after an hour and a half rest in 95+ weather against a very good team that had not played in the heat with 24+hrs. rest.

 

All of this is positive direction from last year, but it still doesn't compare to the intensity and rivalry of 7AAA district games. Only time will tell as to how an improved team fielding 6 underclassmen will fare against the likes of Siegel, Riverdale, Cookeville and the rest of 7AAA.
