How can you make more of a mark than the Mustangs did in 2017 when they finished 25-0 while being crowned national champions by USA Today? Well, just take a look at the roster. Of the 11 players who started in the 1-0 Class AAA championship game victory over Collierville, only two were seniors.

Know several players on that team. They all play for the Lobos team that is the third best team in TN. If Williamson county and the private schools didn't dilute the talent across 10 schools Houston would lose 10/10 times they played. Good for them though.

Houston is one of the local/Shelby County gilrs soccer teams that is consitently in the hunt, year-in and year-out for a girls soccer tittle in AAA. They have an awesome program over there.

Dillution is the thing. Everybody wants the star players. You win with talent and coaching. It doesn't matter what would happen in the ISL (Imaginary Soccer league) of girls soccer in AAA in Tennessee. They have a dominant program. Good for them!

Not imaginary at all. That group in travel is one thing and they go together to school. Williamson county is still good enough to compete every year for the state championship even though the talent is diluted over several schools. I don't know of a person that knows soccer talent in TN that would disagree.

The IFL is your continual reference to the dillution of talent in Williamson County. Forget what they do in travel leagues because this isn't the travel league ... this is high school.

Well, if you want to go play shoulda', woulda', coulda', then have at it, not that it'll do any good when high school teams meet up and play in good ole reality.

Williamson County All-Stars 20, Houston 2

That sounds about right wouldnt you say? Wait ... I gave Houston too many points!

Haha man you consistently get bent don't you? It's funny to me. Houston benefits just like Franklin did for a decade. It's not a secret fella. Not sure why you make silly comments? Oh wait, you do it because that's what you do here. Lol

Hold the presses!

You are the one who brings up the Williamson County All-Stars, not me, and I'm the one making silly comments?

INCREDIBLE!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Man, you are good for a laugh or two.

You create drama where there is none. Its odd. I made a statement that is factual about the dilution of talent in Williamson county . I also congratulated Houston for their achievements and commented on the kids I know at Houston including the player in the photograph. Why you started all the hyperbole is beyond me?  Its just silly to do it but its clearly your MO. Neither of us likes, or respects, the other but all this drama is really unnecessary and juvenile.  

Im done trying to discuss anything with you because you take everything to an extreme every time I post. Your first reply to a post if mine was just as immature as this last one. Feel free to get your last jabs in.

No it is not ODD. It doesn't matter if your statement abot the Williamson County All-Stars is factual or not. They are NOT a high school team ... yet you see fit to interject a NON-high school team (Not even a team actually) into a post about a legitimate high school team. Who cares what a group of cherry picked All-Stars would do against a high school team? What's the point of even brining that into the discussion? If you could have just congratulated Houston and left it at that, there probably wouldn't have been an issue ... but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, you can't do that can you? You have to go bring up some non-high school Williamson County All Star team, that really isn't a high school All-Star team ... but a collection of club team soccer players, at that. 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL .... you keep me in sticthes over here!

Wait wait wait is this the u15, u16 or u17 All Star Team...just trying to schedule them in our Knox All Stars, Nooga All Stars and Midstate All Stars tournament. (We didn't invite the Tri cities All Star Team because they were trying to claim Green Co. too :( 

 

Houston is exceptional and I'm happy those girls come together to represent their community and their school. At the Bearden Tourney they were the "best in show" for sure.

    • QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
