A couple of thoughts:

1. Great turnout for the tryouts - I've heard anywhere from 110 to 135.

 

2. Can we get a seperate area/thread (maybe similar to the World Cup)? After all Tennessee now has two teams in the NPSL.

 

3. Talked to the head coach of FC Chattanooga over the weekend - they know Knoxville had a bunch of quality players show up.

Great idea. I'll talk it over with Coach T.

 

We had about 110 come out. Some real quality players!

 

There will be a second try out in April. I will get you the exact date as soon as I can (I just got back from Brazil, so I have been out of touch).

    • Wow I haven't been keeping up with softball had no idea.Been keeping up with baseball and we are slowly fading there.I will check it out!!Thx 
    • It is what it is. Sorry DFL.
    • One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State. 
    • It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014. 
    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
