East TN playoff matches

Easttnref wants more topics, and a little playoff talk.

How about the east TN matchups? From what I understand, Catholic destroyed West so now they head to Maryville, while Farragut is set to play at Bearden.

Any chance that Farragut could pull an upset tomorrow night? How about Catholic?

I have not seen Maryville or Farragut play this year but I have seen Bearden and Catholic. I know Bearden is the hands on favorite and they have really played great all year. I can't see them letting off the gas especially against Farragut. That being said Farragut has improved and will be up for the challenge.

 

As much as I might like Catholic to do well in the contest I don't think they have improved enough to handle a really talented Maryville side. I believe Maryville would have to stumble in a big way to lose to Catholic this time around. It is really nice to see Catholic playing well at crunch time though.

Rumor has it that Coach Wally has Farragut playing some bunker ball. Interesting if so--tough to lose all those studs last year and have talent more in line with the rest of the district, huh, Coach C?? I haven't seen this but my sources were pretty solid. Will make for an interesting match-up at Bearden tomorrow if the Ad's have 4+ in the back in an attempt to frustrate/slow down the lethal killing machine that is Bearden soccer. Might work for a bit but the Dawgs are too gritty and blue-collar to let Farragut come onto the Bearden pitch and slip away with a win. Bearden, 3-0.

Catholic sprang the upset on West. Shocking/didn't see this one coming. Leader is a sly dude so Maryville better be prepared for a skirmish. I think Maryville's talent and experience at moving the ball around a big field will lead to a Rebel win. Say 3-1.

 

RE the complaint on another thread about the dead board---look no further than the writing paralysis that has struck down G, Akula, and dins. You guys need to re-enter the fray.

Ah... That is so much better.

You'd think being "retired" I would have more time to post!

 

Never thought I would see the day that I actually agreed with something EastTNref said, but the boards have been FLAT. Some of the big time posters (Chasanooga, Reaction, etc.) have moved on, sadly.

 

There just hasn't been a whole lot to talk about. I don't think any one team is dominant this year, in any division (or if one is, they sure aren't posting about it on the boards).

 

Surprise about Catholic knocking off West. I thought West would be in the mix at the end, and Catholic had some interesting outcomes in some of their earlier games. Never count out Catholic, for sure!

 

Farragut and Bearden? Wow... not often you see them face in the semis. Bunker away, I say. While I don't like it, it might be all you can do in a rebuilding year.

 

Maryville is tough. That's all I have heard this season. Maryville and Hardin Valley. We'll see if these two can push through. Got to get through Catholic, first, and I can tell you, that is no easy task!

Akula and G have moved on. The true fans remain...

And the above fully explains why I don't post on coacht--soccer knowledge woefully lacking! 0 and 2 on my semi-final predictions--CONGRATS to both Farragut and Catholic, a 4 and 6 seed, for being the district of death reps. Two huge wins for those programs and major disappointments for Bearden and Maryville. Those 2 teams had great years but certainly had an end that neither expected. Good luck Catholic and Farragut!

Moved on? I'm still here. Just waiting for you to say something G. I follow your lead. :roflol:

Boyd plays Sweetwater tonight I believe for the district finals. Sweetwater beat them earlier this season 5-0. Boyd is very young. Give them 2 years and they will be dangerous.

 

Maybe easttnref can get the boards going again, even if it is just for the play offs.

That result just proves why they call it the District of Death. You have to play top notch soccer every game.

Bunker ball, huh, .....? Yea, you could call it that, but it worked. Guess there is less excuses for others like yourself when the "talent is more in line with the rest of the district."

    • 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.
