2015 A-AA rankings?

[saw4ND]

Very fair assessment.  Well stated.

 

Your number 17 is one talented player.  He was a joy to watch.

Yes he is, and only a sophomore too.  If he can just get a little more size to go with his skills, he would really be dangerous.

Guessing 17 is M.C.? Didn't want to post a minors name, but he can play! Signal still trying to find the right personel and positions. 1-1 vs Collinsville, Al tonight. We've basically played as many games as we've had practices thanks to the weather.

 

Tough for a young team that graduated 8 starters. Think our goalie stepped on a soccer field for the 7th time since he was 6 years old this afternoon. Had to wait until basketball was over to even practice, but great athlete and looks comfortable back there.

 

That's a confidence building game for ND. Anyone know anything about CCS?

Yes, you have those initials correct.

 

I know that CCS beat McMinn County 2-0 and Coffee County 5-0 this week.  

 

We really need to recruit some more fans from different teams to help fill in the CoachT scoreboard each night.

Chattanooga Home schooler patriots a good scrimmage if anyone other than Baylor or McCallie need a game. Several D1 select players. Signal still trying to find a line-up and place players but had to come from behind to kiss our sister 2-2.

Notre Dame should be ashamed of running up the score 17-0 against Bledsoe County. No reason to be putting a shot on net after 8-0 at most. Karma is a .....!

[BarcaFan]

I saw that and it was quite surprising. I would hope at the very least that ND had completely replaced the starters and said only header scores at this point or something.

Hardin Valley dropped 17 on William Blount tonight.

Signal played the Bledsoe team tonight and only let people who hadn't scored before shoot. Also only 1 SR. played, several 8th and 9th graders played a lot. 7-0 and we quit shooting. We need a mercy rule in TN like they have elsewhere, the last 30 minutes of the game was keep-away.

 

Congrats to their coach for getting kids outside and running. Was a very co-Ed team. Keeping them involved playing sports rather than just giving up and being couch potatoes or full-time X-Box fanatics is to be commended!

Then the Hardin Valley coach must be a db too, just like ND's.

 

There is zero reason in the world to be shooting a ball on net after a team is up 7 or 8 to nothing.

 

I watched state championship teams last year take a 4-0 or 5-0 leads then play a passing game. Only shots allowed were from headers AFTER a minimum of 10 passes.

 

These soccer "coaches" will get theirs down the road.

Ron, you'll like the fact that 3 or 4 times in the Bledsoe game, one of our better scorers had the ball inside the 6 and the goalie flat footed and turned around to send a pass back to midfield. Among other duties, I run the scoreboard at Signal games, no matter the score, it has never shown a visitor down more than 5. Scoreboard malfunction. Don't think we've ever allowed our team to score more than 8, but scoreboard would show 5-0 or 6-1 if the other team scored against the young guys.

Well played.....I have a special place in my heart for ole Signal Mtn. I worked 3 years at SMCC as a server and bartender my junior and senior years of high school and holidays and summer once I went to college. My son spent the nigh on the mountain for the first time a couple weeks ago and he got to expierence the fog I've always told him about.....it can b ebrutal up there

Many moons ago (1995) I helped coach a high school team in North Carolina that got pasted 20-0 by a team that had this guy on it -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Robinson_%28soccer%29 -- along with 6 of his regional champion club teammates. They were up on us 9-0 at halftime and completely replaced the starters. The 11 subs scored 11 goals. We never felt like we were being disrespected, and one slightly helpful reason was that the clock operator declined to put any more goals on the scoreboard after 9. A few weeks later, we played the arch-rival of this team, and they beat us 5-0, playing possession for most of the second half. Our kids felt far more insulted by a team playing keep-away than by a team that actually played to the objective of the game.
