3 years ago, this would have been a grudge match, and more physical than skillfull by both teams. I have enjoyed watching LC and CAK become two very talented squads that rely on their skill more than fouls to win the games. CAK cheered on LC at state last year when they were playing Ridgeway, and LC cheered on CAK when they were playing CCS. Both teams are great. I think it will boil down to who makes the most mistakes, and who can capitalize on those mistakes. Three of the top teams in the state at one place. A preview of the state playoffs this weekend! Good luck to all teams.

This LC tournament is one of the best tournaments featuring A/AA teams that there has been in quite a while. I only wish FRA had been invited to truly make it the best 4 A/AA teams. Regardless of whoever wins the tournament all 3 teams will get a chance to really scout out the other top teams that they will face later on in Memphis.

Yeah it really is tough to find many other fields at the level of ours, but that is mostly due to our coach, who the field is actually named after. We have mowers, but other than that, he and the other coaches maintain the field. Football fields should be banned. Every school in Tennessee could at least find some pasture that would be the correct size for a soccer field. Our style of play is affected a ton by smaller fields as I would imagine most of the better teams are. Oh well, we're really looking forward to this tournament.

yea that's why we play better away, football fields just dont do it for us, not enough space to work the magic. it's a travisty to soccer to have to play on coke cans. just my 2 cents. i really wish we could play in this tourny... LC what's the deal man, how come we didnt get the invite?

I agree. Our field is considerably smaller than a regulation field, and the center is prob the worst part this year. The wings are pretty nice, but with football season the center was badly torn up. Having played at Mike Rose in Memphis this past weekend, it seems like our game, along with numerous other teams, are affected by the small size of football fields. I'm looking forward to playing all the teams this year and thanks to CCS for making the trip.

    • Ok l will bite. What exactly are Football Families?
    • Honestly the A.D. may be powerless at Maryville to some degree versus other schools. I know he has his hands full with GoFan and all the stupid surprises just from the emails he sends out during the season.
    • Harriman was better than what I anticipated. They had good skill guys and a QB that’s gonna make a lot of teams look silly. They had some silly pre snap penalties but it’s just spring and I guess that’s expected.    Oneida looks the part. They are big upfront and got a stable of backs that’s gonna carry them this year. They have a few playmakers at receiver also. They have a new receiver that has only played basketball till this year and he is very athletic. The question is can we find a QB to consistently get them the ball. They played 2-3 kids there and none looked great but they didn’t look awful either. The  defense is gonna be tough again but it’s very early and a lot can change between now and the fall.     It was good just to get out and watch some ball. I don’t know if Oneida has the team to win the region this year but just what I saw tonight I think they may be in the conversation come November.
