love is better than templeton? because of his superior skills. templeton was moved to the middle while love remained outside. when healthy he is mcallie's best player and one of the best in east tennessee.

I think Tempe will have something to say about that comment about the "absolutly not john templeton" on thursday. And yes, both chris love and chris pollard should be added to the list

One name I havent seen much on this thread is Farragut's Brian Hill. This guy is big,fast, physical, intimidating, and he's one of the best in the business. He has a great shot and foot skills for a defender. Anyone that's seen him will agree.

Iagree that John Templeton and Chris Pollard are very good players. Chris Love has some skills that would allow him to be considered one of the best players in East Tennessee but he sometimes plays outside his limitations or outside team structure. In otherwords, at times he dribbles when he should pass and sometimes shoots with no chance of putting the ball on goal. Maybe these two reasons are why he is not in the middle. Don't get me wong. He has the tools. He is strong, fast, and explosive. I guess sometimmes his choices are not the best for the team. All this said he is still a valuable player, but not one of the best.

JStone was right and DrSoccer hit the nail right on the head..... some players have incredible ball control or a powerful shot but if he is really selfish then there isn't much room for team play.

Funny how nobody looks at West High in all of this list. I know they have been down the last few years with coaching changes and other issues but to ignore them completely is just plain wrong. Players that should have been included in your list.

Michael Jenkins draws double and triple coverage practically every game. Also Robert Eldridge, 6 ft 5 inches and tougher than any player I have seen.

Other Players to watch at West would be Devin McCroskey, Jeff Keenan and Brad Prosise. All of these guys are sophmores. I think things look bright for the future at West.

David Reaves is the best soccer player to ever play.

 

He is still really gay though

[bman2020]

Criss Golden he is awsome and surprises me every game with the depth of his skill

[Guest mchssoccernut]

i'd like to throw a couple of names in here. Jared Price, Andy Slack, Andrew Kimball, Shane Reed, Nick Shaver, Kyle Owens, Marco Vasquez just to name a few. o and Brandon Armstrong's not bad. o and David Reaves of cleveland

[JDub03]

Matt Blair of Oak Ridge is one of the best players in state.

it doesnt matter about these other players, Chris Bach is the better soccer player
