Middle TN

I'm familiar with these teams and the TSC ECNL players on each. Brentwood is the most talented IMO but has had too many injuries to it's best players.  Vandy GK Commit Devine is outstanding though so she can keep them in games. Franklin is just down compared to years past. Even though they have a US National pool player, and Clemson commit Harper White, she doesn't have the surrounding cast as previous Franklin teams.  Oakland has SEC recruit Monica Mulaney but they don't have the depth as the Memphis schools. 

I think it will take a healthy dose of excellent play and luck for any of those three to win it.

Coach you have absolutely given Booger the ammunition to make fun of me again. Lol

I only know a few people, coaches, and players associated with my daughters travel team. Cece and Molly know those same folks. :)

Good luck in the semis and beyond!!! BTW your buddy at CAK played the same defense you did against Faith. It's weird how that happened? Lol

Lol!!! I have sources that alledge you gave him the book on defending the wildcats and he added the 15 hard fouls as a good measure.  Now, let me be clear that I am not saying you were ignoring your allegiance to your Middle Region friend and fellow coach, Matt Smith. I am just relaying what my confidential source told me. :)

BTW I thought flattery is the highest form of flattery oh great coach G? :)

Best of luck! We are going to try and make it Friday for the championship!!!!

Well, of COURSE you have an inside source...

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know to man mark a forward that scores goals.

And the man worked here for 16 years, and even taught some of the girls who are on the team.  Do you not think they would reach out to him?

Wouldn't be surprised if he sent Coach Smith some insights, as well...  for allegiance sake.

Wasn't just a "man mark" but almost exactly the way G did it. Except for the fouls part. :) The 18 year old center ref from Kings Academy could have called two more fouls in the box had he been so inclined. Good, clean physical play with nothing  dirty though. CAK had a good plan with a sweeper, at times, 25 yards behind the CF and bracketed by two outside backs. She got her shots but most were contested very well.

They all talk. It's a great community of coaches from what I have heard.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
