States best player ever ?

[Playerscoach]

Is the freshman from Ravenwood going to be considered the best HS girl soccer player ever in TN? I know other kids have made various NT included Parlow from Memphis on th WNT but this kid is special. She's also being considered for the national team and possibly the WC team.

 

Thoughts?

Certainly hope you are not Karlie Paschall's father/brother/cousin/uncle..

But she does look like a great player from what I read and nice to see a Tennessee player doing well...

Not related at all. Only by club affiliation but I've seen her play. She plays up on the best club team in the history of TN and is the best player.

 

Just a talent to be appreciated. I believe it's a good discussion though. Parlow has to be considered #1 but this kid is worth discussing.

I know this girl and her family and they are completely first class!  She is the best I've seen in this state as a soccer player (unselfish, hard working team player) and is also an amazing kid off the field!! I look forward to watching her play one day on the world's biggest stage!!

I heard that she is being looked at for the next WC cycle. What a tremendously talented player. In fact Vandy liked he so much as a rising 8th grader that they essentially said she'd have a spot there when the time came for them to offer.

Considering her team was the first to ever win a regional and the first to make the national championship game that's really note up for debate.

Your information is inaccurate.  Her team is not the first to win regional.

Name the club and year that won a D1 regional championship. I had heard a team from Memphis may have done so when Parlow was playing but couldn't get it confirmed.

 

Assuming you are correct did said team also make it to the national championship game? It not my assertion is correct.

[Playerscoach]

For clarification I know BWSC U18's won and also lost the same year in the NC game but this TSC u15 team went to nationals two years in a row.

 

The Region III records are online back to 2001 so I assume your claim is sometime before then?

 

Two National championship tournaments in a row really should prove my point shouldn't it?

If she is as good as you say she is, she won't be playing Tennessee high school soccer for long. With no TN clubs in ECNL, she is not facing the same level of quality that other girls her age are already confronting on a weekly basis. Being a big fish in a small pond won't get you far when the other fish your size are already fighting far bigger fish. She will either leave for an ECNL team or US residency if she truly wants to progress. Staying in Tennessee will leave her behind.

 

And the any TFC appearances in national championships since 2009 should be taken with a huge grain of salt -- the best clubs in the nation left USYSA for ECNL then and others have been leaving ever since.

MoonDog, she is already there, bud.  She has already made the big time.  Folks on here are going to cringe on discussing "travel ball" on a high school site, but I am just responding to your post.  She is perfectly fine in Tennessee and will not be left behind just because she lives here.  They may move sometime down the road as she gets older but she is doing fantastic right here in the Volunteer state.  Did you pick up on the note she is already being considered for older age group US National Teams and possibly World Cup for the future??  She had a blast playing with her high school team in between trips to participate in US Soccer camps and games.  I assume she will continue to play with her high school team as her schedule permits.  In addition, ECNL is not the only way to the top.  Her travel team has destroyed ECNL teams throughout the country (and continues to do so) and has several players on the team getting significant attention from colleges.  Oh yeah, just wanted to also point out that EVERY player on the U-18 girls team in her club have committed to play in college with no ECNL connection.  Just saying
