Pre-Season Rankings

[smacktalker03]

the home school team plays only one or two home games a year. the independence game was called off at half time independence had 40 mph winds at there backs too and home school give up a goal and never got the wind to there backs

 

 

 

40 MPH winds are a slight advantage for indepedence but with winds that strong, passing and shooting are going to be messed up greatly for independence as well. Im not saying that the home schooled team is not good because I have not seen them play but i still like Independence if there was a re-match with calm winds...

I'll put my money on Independence anyday. They have most of their returning players from last year and look for them to not only beat the home schooled team but also make a running at the state title.

 

Wait have independence even made it to the state tourny before.......? /hungry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hungry:" border="0" alt="hungry.gif" />

I am talking about THIS YEAR'S TEAM.... it does not matter what a team does in that past but only what they bring to the table in the current season.... brentwood was undefeated and ranked number 1 in the nation last year but this year will struggle to make it to the final 4 if that.... so who cares if independence has not had an impressive past.... just look for them to do quite well this upcoming season

It was said before that they only lost a couple of seniors. if they didnt make it last year how are they expected to be so good this year when they didnt gain anybody.??????? /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />

Because you dont need new players to have a better team than the previous year.... all you need is for you current players to mature and improve in game play. also, teams that did very well last year such as brentwood wont be as strong which opens up a new window for teams like independence... brentwood didnt win state two years ago, didnt gain anybody huge the next year, and then ended up going undefeated and winning state because the players that played for them the previous year improved greatly and they played with better team chemistry... the fact that almost the entire independence squad is returning favors them greatly because the team chemistry will be better and im sure the previous year's players have improved... they could have been a great team last year if they could have gotten past hendersonville in the sections... i mean look at bearden's team last year... they were favored to do VERY well but ended up losing and not making it to the state tournament.. that does not mean they were not a good team.. just didnt perform in cruntch time... so again stop looking at a team's previous success and only look at this year's team....

Hi gang,

Independence's coach here...

While it's always nice to see people taking about your team, I think that it's way too premature to make predictions about the season. We graduated some great players last year and are returning a few great ones also. As always Williamson County AAA will be competitive and every team has a chance at the District Title!

 

Let's not overlook Centennial... they're returning just about everyone on their team!

Brentwood always reloads!

Franklin always has like 90 students tryout for the team (hahaha)

Ravenwood was down last year, but look for them to rebound with some young talent.

 

Anyone else excited about our Tournament? Some great talent will be showing up!

Coach,

 

Nice tournament here! When is this? (Tell Coach Calvert from D.B. that "G" said hello and not to get any cards /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ! He is a great guy and super coach)

 

Like you said, there is a whole lot of soccer even to get started, let alone to be played! I look forward to seeing how your team progresses! Good luck this season!

The Independence Invitational is March 27, 28, 29.

We just installed bleachers to seat 350 and will be using all 3 fields on our campus.

And hopefully we'll have our dugouts built by the season (hmmm... hopefully!)

white house high school should be in top 20 and you have heritage to high

 

No way white house should even be considered in the top twenty thats super funny u think that! and heritage could have been if thier players would have not gotten in trouble now i dont expect anything from them. they had four of thier best players expelled from school for alcohol abuse on a school trip. Just a little fact for whitehouse... who made it to state? who made it to region? who made it to the district championship? not u

[NC80]

we play the home school team plus its there only home game

 

so my question is where the heck do they play at?

 

 

 

I believe they play at Crocket Park in Brentwood, TN.

[easttnref]

Carter definately not worthy of the top ten ranking they have recieved pre-season. Have 2 forwards with nothing behind them Stop Sherrod stop Carter!

 

 

Alcoa is better for sure and Seymour has a better overall team too! As I am sure many teams across the state in AAA are better than them. It is true they do not have the caliber player that Sherrod is on there team.

 

 

A team should be ranked based on team talent not one players ability.
