Has Brentwood ever applied for the ECNL? They seem to be the only logical choice in the state to be included.

 

For those interested, Regionals will be very, very light on the girls side this year. It is my understanding that the only ECNL club sending their first team is CESA - the host club! The clubs passing on regionals are Dallas Texans, Dallas Sting, Defeaters, Solar, Lonestar, GSA, Concorde Fire, CASL, Birmingham united, Atlanta Fire and Charlotte SA. These clubs might be represented at regionals, but it will be with their second team and not their ECNL team (the first team). ECNL has their national championships in Chicago from June 24th to 30th. ECNL teams are headed in that direction....

 

 

The majority of "Elite Clubs" like the Texans and et al are heading towards the ECNL - - With BWSC and TNFC combining they will apply for the ECNL, I believe both have applied in the past and have not been accepted - Hopefully now the ECNL will reconsider as the TN Soccer Club will be the largest club in the State....but we will see

TSC already had a few teams in the National league well before the ED was brought on.  I think 1 boys team and 2 or 3 girls teams.  The ED was a boys coach at CASL and a men's coach at some small college and has very little experience with girls youth soccer.   He's possibly in over his head considering how competitive the girls program at TSC has been for the last 2 years.  Anyhow, It's irrelevant how close the ED is to ECNL.  The instability of TSC in the last 18 months will be a problem.  3 presidents in 2 1/2 years, hired and fired an ED in 14 months, the business mgr just resigned last month, and the key directors who merged the club and made that club so competitive have left.  The replacements are basically young trainee's on the job.  Seems like the BOD hired a "yes man" and the ED is surrounding himself with "yes man".   The coaching staff is the best thing that club has going for it...I wonder how long they will stay?

RESULTS MATTER - 5 out of 6 state championship titles on the girls side.  that usually draws the best players the next year.

 

In the age group they lost, they tied the eventual champion in bracket play - just lost the bracket on goal differential.

 

Glad TFC is surviving the "splinter groups" of self interested coaches and parents.  Congrats to TFC.  I am sure you will represent the state well as state champions......

TN state championships do not impress ECNL leadership.   Need significant results on a National stage across all age groups.  TSC is the only club that has decent results on a National stage but it's only in 1 age group.  Maybe they can change that in a few weeks at regionals.

Tied after losing 11 players off the previous years team and dealing with injuries. That age group has added talent and coach Brandy Gagliano. I'd look for them to win the state championship again and contend for the region III title like they did before.

Wow!! You missed on this. ECNL has now arrived at TSC. Lol

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
