Over 110 players make ALL-STATE in a sport in which eleven players take the field. Honestly, we are right back to participation medals. Everyone gets a state championship and everyone gets an ALL-STATE. First, no slight to any of the girls on the list nor the girls not on the list. Pick the top 11 players and call it a day.

 

Its an honor, not a right.

 

 

Agreed. They could at least name a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team like the colleges do.

how is the THSSCA team chosen? i know of two girls who did not make the A-AA team. one scored 45 goals as a sophomore this year and the other had 25 assists, two shy of the state record. both help lead their teams to a school record number of wins this year. the girl who scored 45 goals ths year made this all-state team last year as a freshmen with 29 goals. do the teams the girls play for have to advance to a certain round of the post season to qualify as it seems like most of the players come from teams that make it to the state tournament? also, crystal mazkezyk of spring hill should have been on this team as well.

I agree, well stated. I can think of several players right off the bat that did not make. The all american is funny too. This state has never received 2 AA, but this year we did. Wonder who #2 on the list was that the string was pulled for in AAA?

Summer scored a gazillion goals for SD, as a forward though.

 

 

Summer is an awesome player and no question one of the best in the state and deserves to be on the list. Just wondering though. Why are several forwards given defensive spots for all state? She was not the only one. Defenders are overlooked and underrated as it is. Give the best ones the opportunity to be reocognized rather than use those spots as a chance to give more forwards glory.

 

Some of the teams that made it to State made it on the backs of the defenders. Move those forwards back to see if they would do as well. Many times best player on the team made is a defender because the coach knows she won't let the attack get by, and moves the ball forward and keeping the ball in the attacking third.

 

Agree, make a first team and second team and be consistant with positions, or at least the forwards placed in defender positions should have played a significant amount of time in that position.

As I understand it, there's a lot of political hokey-pokey among the coaches to select the all-state players, so it's not like the most deserving at each position necessarily made the list anyway. (Not that anyone was left off, I guess. Did any Tennessee player NOT make all-state?)

 

Why in the world are there all-state selections from BOTH DII divisions?

I was wondering that too.

 

Last year the THSSCA put out their All-State list in the end of November, and the TSWA put out their All-State list the first week of December. Since their over a month late, I am wondering if the TSWA is even bothering with girls soccer anymore. Since the entire 'sports-writing' market this fall was almost totally boys football, with girls soccer getting almost zero press, maybe they've just cut their budgets back to only follow football in the fall.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
