Early District 8 A/AA Predictions

[Catfish03]

It would be interesting to see how they would come out if TSSAA would separate soccer into 3 divisions instead of lumping A and AA together.  They just don't have the numbers to be able to rely on12 to 14 seniors and juniors like some of the larger AA schools do.  They have a good group of seniors but they also have to rely on a lot of underclassmen.

Big game tonight in district 8 A-AA, Murfreesboro Central Magnet beat Merrol Hyde Magnet 3-2.  Central Magnet is favorite for winning regular season but my see Merrol Hyde again in the district tournament.  It was a very good game with Central Magnet getting the winning goal late in the second half.

That win locks up the regular season for Central Magnet. Unless they implode and drop 2 games to Smith Co. and Cannon Co. They very well could face a challenge with Cannon. They are very physical, and their field will benefit a lesser skilled/more physical team. The sand lot makes it very difficult for ball handlers. Livingston, Goodpasture, and Macon are the sleepers for this district. Anyone of these teams could get on a run in the tournament, and let their momentum carry them past either Central or Merrol Hyde. Should be fun to watch unfold.

Cannon County will not beat Central Magnet.  Central Magnet can play as physical as they need to.

I have learned to not underestimate anyone. The game is played at Cannon. The field will be a factor. I doubt Cannon wins or ties, but I have seen stranger things happen.

A couple of ties last night. Livingston tied Goodpasture 1-1. Macon County tied Merrol Hyde 3-3. I see that does little to shake up the district standings, but Livingston and Macon could be making strong pushes to the finish line.

Some good district match ups this week between Goodpasture and Merrol Hyde, Macon and Livingston. Should be interesting. Also, Central Magnet only beat Cannon Co. 1-0. What's the deal there? Was Central missing players, or did Cannon just play a really good defensive game?

Why did Cannon Co. forfeit?
