hamlet7478 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Why should the AA/A bracket have all the fun? Here, based on my limited knowledge, are my predictions of the top teams. AAA: East -- Bearden, Farragut Middle -- Brentwood, Franklin West -- Houston, Collierville Div II: East -- Baylor Middle -- BGA West -- St. Agnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolife Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 What about Oak Ridge? Are they not stronger than Farragut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamlet7478 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 What about Oak Ridge? Are they not stronger than Farragut? What I hear is that although OR got by Farragut last year in Region's, Farragut is loaded and OR lost its star scorer Trenna Howell who will be tough to replace. Bearden is defending State champ. I guess enough said there. As I said, I have limited knowledge...just trying to get discussion going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolife Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have heard that Farragut does not have alot coming in. They lost their key defender and their key forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that Oak Ridge should have pretty solid defense and good midfield, but they are shorthanded up front. I think the well is starting to dry up for them, as I have been told that they did not have a very good turnout this year for tryouts and will not have a JV team at all. I have also heard that their coach is a bitter pill, and could be the reason for their low numbers. Look for Bearden to win it all again.

Soccermom.....I would not think that anyone has had try-outs yet due to the dead period is not over until Monday. Perhaps your "bitter pill" is ill informed. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolife Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 You can have tryouts in the Spring. West also had theirs then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamlet7478 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sounds like all Knoxville area replies. How about the rest of the East, Mid, and West? What do you guys have to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feverpitch Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sounds like all Knoxville area replies. How about the rest of the East, Mid, and West? What do you guys have to say? Ravenwood always throws a wrench into things, but I believe Brentwood will take it this year. As far as DII goes, BGA lost several great players including their keeper. Susannah Dennis is incredible, but will she be able to carry the team? I think they lost what... six seniors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin was a team last year that I thought may have been the best overall in the State. They got beat by, I believe, Siegel in the quarter's. What about them this year?

BRSoccer Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Franklin was a team last year that I thought may have been the best overall in the State. They got beat by, I believe, Siegel in the quarter's. What about them this year? It was Siegel and they played Bearden toe to toe in the semifinals too 1-0. Siegel lost two Senior starters B. Winn and B. Miller. But they had several sophomores and Freshmen that started and contributed. Siegel will have 5 or 6 senior starters this year. They will battle with Riverdale again and both teams should make it to the sectionals. I don’t see Tullahoma or Shelbyville stopping them this year. In fact I would predict both Siegel and Riverdale make to the state tournament. Then its anybody’s guess..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
