Division II Soccer Talk

[BigG]

I am a MBA loyalist and the team, led by Junior Will Emerson, is shaping up. In last night's scrimmage MBA tied Franklin HS 1-1. MBA controlled possession against FHS (they lost tons of seniors) but gave up a late goal when Coach Cheevers cleared the bench.

 

I thing Baylor in the East and Christian Brothers in the West are the teams to beat. I am looking forward to reading your comments on FRHS. On paper they should be rebuilding but they ave had our number the last few seasons.

Come introduce yourself to me Friday.  I always like meeting CoachTers face to face!  I'll be in the visor.

 

Looking forward to playing MBA.  Should be a great match.  Just hoping the weather behaves itself.

Yes, I am ready for some agreeable temps! My son Alex, who plays for MBA, is to be out of town and will miss the Friday game but I may attend and will be sure to say hello.

Great news for Middle Tennessee soccer. Will Emerson (Junior, CB, TSC) accepted Stanford University's offer and will sign with the Cardinals' soccer program next year. This year MBA's Andrew Conwell signed with the University of Washington. Hopefully this will bring some additional scouting to the area.

BGA beat Franklin last night 3-2. Good game

Think Baylor team to beat from Chattanooga area. We've played Baylor and McCallie, and Baylor has the stronger team.

MBA and BGA tied is a great match-up last night @ MBA. It was a very physical game from the whistle with MBA having the lion share of possession and shots until the 7 minute mark in the second half. Then MBA seemed to wear a bit and the mo' began to shift to BGA. Awesome game environment on a Friday night with packed stands and soccer weather.

Any team that doesn't like waffles is a team to beat. Waffles are a soccer-friendly, healthy, eco-friendly snack to eat while playing soccer. In fact, some soccer organizations have already considered replacing soccer balls with waffles.

Color me wrong....McCallie beat Baylor last night. Both teams are strong and deep.

Just like the sun rises in the east and birds sing in the Spring, BGA beat FRA (AKA little brothers) in soccer to advance.  Congrats boys and defend that state championship....watch out for that other webb team out east.

I heard that the BGA leading scorer is sitting out a red card received against Webb (BB). Evidently he punched a Webb player? How long is the suspension?

If it was a red (for fighting) it is at LEAST a 2 game suspension plus meeting with the administration and possible sanctions from the TSSAA (depending on how malicious the punch was).

 

At least that is my understanding of the red card rule for these offenses.  Don't know how serious the foul was, however.  BGA can appeal, though.

Found out the details over the weekened.  BGA's top scorer did get a red card for punching a Webb Feet player.  The reason, the Webb player spit on the BGA player's face and arm.  This is the second year in a row a player from Webb spit on a BGA player.  Last year a Webb player received a red card for spitting, this year the player did not get caught so the BGA player took matters into his own hands and dropped the spitter with one punch.

 

Do I agree with what the BGA player did?  Yes.  Would I do the same thing if I was in that players position?  Yes.  Do I agree that a red card and penalty was deserved?  Yes.

 

Spitting seems to a be a Webb Feet thing.  Not sure what they teach down in Bellbuckle.
