I'll bite...

 

I think these are the two best teams in the state (of the teams that I have seen and or played) when they are at the top of their game.

 

Not to take anything away from Maryville, but I think Farragut was rocked to the core with the loss of a dear friend the night previous, and I would imagine found it hard to get "pumped" for the game. Maryville is a VERY good team, and also can get their teams ready for the intensity of the match. I'll post my opinions on the Maryville Oak Ridge game on the other thread.

 

Both Farragut and West have incredible set pieces, including the dominant threat of throw ins (which were even deadly on our huge field, and will be so on Farraguts narrower field). They both have incredible team attacks, and build the attack well, with good ball movement. Individually, I think the edge might go to West, but as a team, it is almost like Farragut knows where each other are at all times. I love the 1 touch flick balls, or passes that they make.

 

The edge overall, I think goes to Farragut, because they are used to pressure situations like these big games. While it is good to be pumped, it can also bite you if the pendulum swings the other way. Farragut might not get as "high" but also doesn't seem to get as "low".

 

I would say that it is a true shame that one of these teams will not advance.

 

I say Farragut 2 West 1...

its hard to beat a team that practices basically together all year long... east tn select and ultra lions practice alot together in the fall ... and most of the kids on both teams play at farragut... i believe this is a huge advantage adn why they can do the little one touch flicks nad passes, they all know eachother very well

 

farragut 5-3 grossbard throw ins are the difference...

Since this will be my first game of the year I will drop an opinion. I know both teams will be filling some holes on the defensive side because of cards so I am expecting some great offensive opportunities on goal. Could be as good as the state final last year between Bearden and Farragut and as high scoring.

 

Games like these are not won because of talent so that is a wash for me trying to compare talent. Most of these young men have been in a state final at some level so the pressure shouldn't be an issue.

 

Going out on a limb, it will be a scrappy play in the box off a throw in that decides this game. I am a Farragut man, but I am going with Patrick Maloney finishing off a deflection to win in overtime. West will get it's first trip to the big dance in AAA and the big two from ET will be confused on how to spend Memorial Day weekend. Bizzaro soccer in K-town this year.

 

Good luck to both squads and make sure to leave it all on the field.

 

There's my post for the season KM.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
