ChattanoogaCannon Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 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.

ballbasher30 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 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.

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennsportsfan Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 All State teams have been announced, but I have yet to see All District or All regions teams for A/AA in Region 2. Shouldn't that have already been done??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerchihuahua Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 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.

IanMackaye Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 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?

Rabble Rouser Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Anyone know if the TSWA guys are going to release an all-star team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95GSoccer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 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.
