Mid TN kids to play perinniel National Champs the u14 Michigan Hawks

[Playerscoach]

While in Vegas 3/20. Three upcoming freshman each at Franklin, CPA, Ravenwood are on this team. It's a good measuring stick for TN.

 

Maybe they will do well? They are big underdogs and without their top scorer.

Good luck!

Which club are most of these players affiliated with?

TSC 19. Lots of good soccer in TN but IMO we get little credit. We have competitive matches locally as well as regionally with ECNL teams. Our team beat the pre ECNL state champs from FL GA NC and the state champs fr AR LA and MS.

 

Sorry for the tangent. This team is now without it's top two forwards so they will be limited. I hope they play well for themselves and TN.

good luck!  But it looks like they are playing Michigan Jaguars not the Hawks.

Also, looks like the Michigan Hawks have their non ECNL team in the USYS national league.  some players probably play both.

several ECNL players have the national championship in their bios - hard to tell who played where last year.....

Yep you're right they play the Jaguars. I read the schedule wrong.

 

The U13 Hawks were pre ECNL last year. They play in both divisions from what their manager has said to our local manager. They aren't watered down when they play NPL events.

 

Saw the Jaguars play before and they are very good too! It will be a very tall order for these girls to keep it close. Short on numbers and scoring punch is a tough place to be when playing great competition.

It was 1-0 at half then the floodgates opened. Injuries to the starting CB, LB, CF, and RF didn't help. Just not enough healthy players to make it a good game. The kids played hard though.

 

I still think Franklin, CPA and Ravenwood are each getting quality players from this group. Two have sisters playing Div 1 or committed to Div 1 programs.

 

It's a long time until HS soccer so it will be interesting to see how many of these rising freshmen make an impact in their HS teams?

How did your other games turn out?

No very competitive from what I was told. Too many injuries, not enough practice outdoor and a loss of talent from last years team.

 

TN overall did not fare very well in Vegas. The Region 3 Div1 championships will be a better barometer of where TN teams are. Assuming this team gets healthy and stays healthy they will have a chance to win it.

 

These HS programs (Ravenwood, Franklin, CPA, USN and DCA) will be getting some battled tested kids in August. Lol
