Just wanted to get a little talk going regarding middle school ball, if anyone is interested...

 

FYI- If anyone has a middle school team wanting a 'friendly' in Chattanooga, please get in touch with me...The St. Jude Girl's team is having a powerful season, and is having trouble picking up some good, competitive matches in our league.... They are currently 3-0, with a goal differential of 19 for and only 1 against... Good thing is, 12 of the girls are headed to Notre Dame next year !!! GO IRISH !

 

Thanks

 

David

Meigs out of Nashville has won something like 4 city championships in a row and is always willing to play anyone who is a challenge. I don't think they can play in 2008 as its now winter sports season but next fall they would play Tullahoma, Chattanooga is a tad far.

 

 

St Jude School finds ourselves in the Independent School Conference, here in Chattanooga, which starts their season in LATE fall, which takes us out of playing historically strong teams like GPS and Baylor unfortunately (they start play in early fall)... Was hoping to hear from any Southeastern Tennnessee teams, before it gets too late in the season...

Totally off subject, but......

 

Does anyone beside myself find it CRAZY that Middle school soccer is still being played going into the first week of December?

 

Can anyone explain to me why Middle school soccer is played in November and December. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> and is it that way everywhere or just Hamilton Co..

This kinda goes along with the issue, that I find silly, with two 'seasons' here in Chattanooga area...Some schools start there season right when school starts (GPS, Baylor, etc.), while others start in November (St Jude, Hamilton County)...putting us playing our end of season tournament this week...(and the first snow fell today !)...

 

My understanding is that they have this late fall season for some to avoid conflicts with other fall sports, ie. Volleyball ? I wish everyone would get on board and realize that you play VOLLEYBALL INDOORS !, and that season could be shifted later ? So we avoid the colder temps..and more importantly, the time change/earlier sunset, which forces many schools that do not have lights to often start their games at 3:30-4:00, and making it difficult for parents that work until 5pm to attend their kid's games.

 

I am sure it is not that simple, and there is some larger issue that I am not aware of, why they opt to play late fall..

By the way, St. Jude finished their regular season 7-0, with a 43-2 goal differential...

They may be finished, but if you want a challenge get ahold of Brentwood Middle. We played a competitive match with Meigs (and lost), but we couldn't stay on the field with Brentwood.

 

 

I would assume that they have many of the select 07/08 Brentwood Apex/Atlas players on their team, and if that is the case, they probably are fantastic...My daughter's select team went up against them in the state tourney last year, and they were impressive...

 

Unfortunately, with such a late fall season, we ran out of time to try and match up against any other teams...On to select season now, I guess...

We did have one originally planned with Loftis for yesterday (Dec 1st), but there were some concerns with injuries right before the end of season tournament, which begins this week, plus St Jude has a couple of <100% players due to past injuries (our game against Grace Academy, we only had 11 available players ( 2 were 6th grade, 1 is even a 5th grader)...so both coaches felt it was best to not play...ended up that the weather was pretty nasty anyway yesterday..

 

The Loftis game would have been a great game, since they have quite a few select players from the same two teams that St Jude players are on....I believe Loftis's record was also 7-0 for the season, and something like 40 goals for, zero against ! (St Jude was 7-0 also and 43 for-2 against)..

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
