Riverdale vs Siegel

[BRSoccer]

So, will Seegul make another appearance at state?

 

 

If we do it will be through a more competitive road than Collarville.

Oddly, Eursport doesn't agree with you. They list Collierville with playing 5 ranked opponents this year and Seagil playing four. Roughly equivalent. W-L-T of opponents is within noise.

 

Hope to see you there. You make it every year.

Canes,

Collierville is a fine program, but you have to concede that it's much tougher to make it to the State tourney out of the middle of the State than the West. harder than the East, too.

Is that White, Blue or No Collarville? Seagull vs. Collarville could be the mis-spelling matchup of the season in the last game.

Speaking to anyone in the middle of the state, apparently it's the hardest district in the country

No, on the face of the earth too!

 

Seriously, I don't believe that you can make that case for any district or region of the state. At the end of the season the current best 8 will wind up at State. While the level of competition played to get there may differ, you still have to play all the games to get there. Every game played irregardless the competition level presents opportunities for injury to key players.

 

Heck, everyone gets on here crowing about beating this school or that school from another part of the state in what sometimes can amount to a 20 minute scrimmage one weekend before there is even dew on the pitch in the morning. Interesting to me that TSSAA classifies these tournaments in the allotment of scrimmages, but the fans treat them as gospel.

 

Yes it is good preparation; yes, it will make a difference at the end of the year to those that apply what they learn from those weekends. We end up arguing who has played the highest ranked teams to get there, based on a what we have agreed on other threads is a totally arbitrary system (ES). Good luck to all and play on.

Yeah, actually i think the English Premier League originated in middle Tennessee but had to move away because they were delaying matches because players were stuck in traffic on Briley parkway during the 28 year construction.

...I'm with you KeeperFan15

 

The cream rises to the top. Year after year.

Example District 11. Of these five teams brentwood, franklin, ravenwood, centennial, and independence only two teams can advance. Most likely it will come down to the winner of the franklin ravenwood game to see who advances.

I agree that the cream does rise to the top, but when franklin or ravenwood is not in the state tournament then the truly best 8 teams are not represented. I believe franklin is playing it's best soccer now with a resounding 8-1 victory over centennial and being 6-1-1 over it last eight games with victories over hendersonville, father ryan, ensworth, b.g.a., harpeth hall and a tie with ravenwood (leading 1-0 with four minutes left ). without ravenwood or franklin a good team with be at home. Just my opinion

There will be a lot of good teams that stay home this year as in years past. Might want to have the district talk about moving represtentation for state to be the top two out of a district tourny if it is not that way now. That way the best TWO from your district go. There is no credible way to say that your number four is better than X districts number two unless thay have played the week before state. Sorry, not buying it, but /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> way to represent for District 11.

 

One of those teams may be the best team in the state, I don't know because I have not seen them play. I am pretty confident that you do not have 4 of the top 8 teams. I do look at their record though and see that with Franklin only 4 of their 10 wins are over teams playing better than .500. And just 2 of 6 for Ravenwood. Not an indictment against them, just your argument for inclusion of all District 11 teams in the state tournament.

That is the way it is. That is what I meant because Brentwood will likely be the higher seed so that will probably play either centennial or independence and franklin and ravenwood will play each other for the second team to represent the district. I understand that good teams are eliminated ,but my point was that district 11 is one of the tougher district in the state and that franklin and ravenwood are two of the better teams in AAA. So to say that the eight best teams will rise to the top is sometimes determined in district play.

Now that the wee-wee contest is over on my district is tougher than yours.... /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

 

Does anyone know the time of this game yet? And do you think that Riverdale's tie with Hendersonville will affect this match-up.
