Great game tonight on the mountain. Signal Mountain and CSAS battled to a 2-2 tie with both teams laying it all on the line. Signal earned home field in the district playoffs in PKs 4-2.  A well officiated game IMO. Center ref let the boys play but kept control of the game. 

Signal is the real deal and should make a good run at state again this year with one of their few losses being 2-1 to the big private Baylor.

CSAS should also have a good chance for a championship run. Only loss was to a strong small private Boyd 3-1 with the unstoppable Wood scoring 2 of those. The Patriots went to Knoxville and played the Austin-East Roadrunners to a 0-0 tie but dominated the possession and chances on goal.

Good luck in the post season. It was fun to get the season started off with a big time game against you guys.  Both teams got better after that battle! You guys have a very good, experienced team.

Thanks Reaction. Always a great challenge playing Boyd. You guys have my permission to take Grace Christian Franklin in division 2 anytime you want to.  I seem to remember from state last year that their stars are really young too. They have to be considered the favorites based on their schedule and results. Found the following from the Williamson Herald.  

"The Grace Christian Academy boys soccer team rallied by scoring all five goals in the second half to earn a 5-3 non-conference victory at Summit in Spring Hill on Wednesday.

Malachi Jones and Alex Johnson each scored two goals in the win for the Lions.

Lenny Torres, who tallied a hat trick, struck first for the Spartans for a 1-0 lead at the half.

 

The Lions built a 3-2 lead before Torres knotted the game in the second half. GCA closed out with two more tallies for the win.

Sam Barrionuevo added two assists with Levi Jones scoring one goal and brother Malachi tacking on an assist. Kytn Wolf made three saves and Josh Hilner had two for the Lions.

The Spartans are the third Class AAA team GCA has faced this season.

GCA, a Class A school, opened the season with a 2-1 loss against Franklin and battled to a tie against Bartlett in the Southern Coast Cup championship in Foley, Ala.

The Lions improved to 10-1-1 and return to action Tuesday at home against Christ Presbyterian Academy. "

I will be looking for your Region 3 finals recap between the Patriots and Signal if I am otherwise unable to attend. Perhaps revenge is in order. It might be a little tough to bounce back from a close one goal victory at an away game, however.

Game headed to OT. Another thriller on the Mountain.

4-3 Signal wins on a PK awarded at the end of the second overtime.  Great job by the boys from both teams.  Fun game to watch. Well officiated by the boys in blue.  Patriots will try to repeat the feat of the Highlanders last year. Not district champs, not region champs, but they were the state champs! Look out Merrol Hyde, you stand in the way of my favorite team's goal.

I saw the 2nd half of an exciting well played game. Likewise, I thought the officiating was good. Was the field a bit short?  I thought the Signal keep’s diving, bobbling stop on the back line seconds before the final whistle blew made for a dramatic ending. Although I hated to see the difference decided by a PK in OT, the player did a good job of selling the foul.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
