Scrimmages this Week (2/23)

Seymour 1

Hardin Valley 1

 

Hardin Valley offsides all night and Seymour had the better run of play just could not finish only goal off a PK.

 

 

What? I thought HV played Sevier County last night. What am I missing?

Nevermind...just saw on Eurosport that I got my dates mixed up. Does anyone have any other details on this game. No offense, Easttnref, but I know you are from Seymour, and home fans always tend to see it differently. (I know I always think that our team had the better outing in a 1-1 tie).

 

Also, as far as the Catholic comment about Spencer Payne goes--shame on whomever wrote this post. Losing to Farragut--even getting pounded by Farragut--is nothing to hold your head down about. Furthermore, I am SURE that Catholic will get it together and be a top state contender down the road. In my mind, the only thing that could keep them from being a top contender is continuing to throw useless tantrums after a loss to such a high quality side like Farragut.

Well I am pretty honest. The teams had two completely different styles Hardin Valley played very direct using a long ball most of the game. Seymour on the other hand, moved the ball around the pitch using mostly wall passes and overlapping run on the wings to get good penetration. Lots of balls played in the box just not anyone getting anything quality on the end of them. I would say possession was 60 to 40 Seymour. HVA matched up better with Sevier County than Seymour because Seymour played better team defense and was just more organized than Sevier County( In SC's defense most of the goals scored by HVA were against their JV). In the Sevier County HVA game both teams played the same direct style opening the game up more which I am sure must be both teams strategy (Which is sad because it is not good soccer and both of these teams have the talent to play good one-two touch soccer).

I got the same account of the game as easttnref, almost verbatim, from a reliable source. While this wouldn't be admissible is court due to being heresay, I think you can trust his breakdown of the game.

Not good soccer?! Bearden has won umphteen state championships by playing long ball. Haha...I agree with you though. I guess different teams have different styles. Also, looking back on my last post, I got the impression that you might have thought my post was a little snide. I was just trying to get a different perspective, and I was considering that I often give a biased point of view when it comes to my team. Thanks for not taking offense to it and for simply giving a more detailed answer as to why Seymour had the better showing.

people must have missed the breakaway goal scored in the last minute putting hva up 2-1. they did play to direct, but are still just learning to play together on their first year.
