Rutherford County Tournament

[JeremyJ18]

Just wondering any predicitions people have before the Rutherford County Challange coming up next week. I personally feel that it will be between Blackman and Smyrna, however Riverdale always seems to find ways to get the win so who knows. Good luck to everybody just looking to see what everyone else thinks.

Rutherford County tournament... I am from Lavergne High and I was wondering... we play smyrna, oakland, riverdale, and blackman. Right. Isn't Eagleville in our county? I may be geographically challenged but I was just wondering. If so, do they not have a soccer program there?

 

On to predictions. I'll keep it safe and leave my team out of it since I will be playing. (Lavergne)

 

Smyrna

Blackman

Riverdale

Oakland

 

The top three are the hardest to pick from. They are evenly matched across the board, it just depends on who is ready for the game more.

I'm not sure about Oakland.

No, eagleville does not have a soccer team that i'm aware of... they recently just tried to have a football team. If they did, they'd be garbage anyways.

 

I'll post my predictions after thursday nights game because basically it's all up to whoever brings it.

 

good luck to all

I think the tournament will be a hard fought battle on the field between Riverdale, Blackman, and Smyrna. I think those three teams have good shot at finishing well in state. I agree with Jeremy that the team with the right frame of mind and the team most ready will win the tourny.

i think BHS will come out on top at the end of the tournament if anyone else wants a chance they better come ready to play

[chrisws04]

dont listen to this kid. blackman has to come ready to. blackman is not superman, even though some try to talk them up to that level. they are just as a good as they want to be.

All teams are subject to great wins and with that responsibility also comes great upsets. The team that finishes their chances and plays 'till the final whistle will win.

Leave it to Coach Rankin to make the soccer team play out on a elementary sized school field by the street. When you have 4 excellent players and 7 mediocre ones the game becomes like this: Anything to score one goal and then pull everyone back towards the goal. Whenever you have the opportunity kick it in the street. Keep no extra balls except for the one you start with. Ocassionally kick it deep into the pasture and make sure you do not provide people to help retrieve any of the out of bounds kicks. Let the clock run as your players walk to get the ONE ball. Forget to get any officials so some men in the stands can work the sidelines. Finally you see it all unfold. You can stay with anyone with a couple of players if they only have to cover a field 60 yards long. This could only happen in high school soccer. It's a shame Riverdale does not support its student athletes any better.

I have to agree with you Hankus, that is the strategy of the Riverdale coach and team. Delay, delay, delay. Today it did not work for the entire game though, they lost to smyrna 2-1. Only way the can finish in a good place out of 5 is to beat Oakland and LaVergne. Great game Smyrna!!!
