My opinion is Cleveland should be higher. Baylor at 1 and McCallie at 2 is good. I think Notre Dame lost some key players so they are kind of questionable at this point. They could be better than I think though. CCS looks about right where they are, but don't know much about Ooltewah. Good luck to all the teams.

Top 2 spots are no surprise as everyone thought Baylor would start out #1 and would be followed by McCallie. Was alittle surprised to see Notre Dame at 3. Thought this was a rebuilding year but I guess not. The rest looks about right. Glad to see my Red Bank Lions in the top 10. We play CCS tonight and hope that we can play it close and maybe win. Go Lions!

Should be a great year of soccer in the Chattanooga area. Top of the poll is what I think all expected pretty much with a talented Baylor team on top. Followed by a strong McCallie team. I don't know alot about Notre Dame yet and was alittle surprised to see them at 3rd....only because they lost alot of talent to graduation last year. But they must have alot of players to step up this year. CCS should also have a great year with alot of seniors....just a side note....I hope that David Wilson is improving. He is a class guy and he is in my prayers. CSAS answered some questions last night by beating Soddy Daisy. For soccer fans....this is most exciting time of the year!

greta soccer match. hard to take for the csas faithful giving a goal up close to stoppage time. csas' goalie had a brilliant game or it could have been a little bit larger margin.

Notre Dame 7 .... Sequatchie County 0

 

East Ridge 2 ..... Chattanooga Christian ( CCS) 2

CSAS doesn't match up well overall with a school that has the size and speed of Ooltewah but they will benefit because few A-AA teams will be able to bring comparable size and speed to a match. CSAS is playing a decent non-conference schedule this season (RedBank, Soddy, Ooltewah, Baylor, McCallie, Dalton, Murray County, McMinn County) that hopefully will benefit them when it comes to A-AA tournament time.

 

Exciting game to watch, congrats to Ooltewah - they should do really well this season.

Does anyone know anything about Hixson this year. I looked at their schedule and so far it looks like they have just played Walker Valley and Central. Just have not seen or heard anything about them.
