all these people who act so surprised that usn is playing for a state championship today are just foolish. USN soccer (as well as most usn sports) is always a competator in DII and any given season could win a tournament. This soccer team should not be surprising anyone. It has plenty of star power(Thomas Hoover, Patrick McHugh, etc) as well as one of the scrappiest defenses in the league. And Paul Fuchs, who just started playing goalie this year, has been on fire in the second half of the season continuing up until now. As a usn student i've enjoyed watching all of the nay-sayers eat there words on this site as almost everyone predicted the Tigers to lose in both rounds. Perhaps you all will learn from your past errors and predict usn to win state today, which they will. holla ;)

it doesnt help when you get anihilated by BGA 8-1 in a tournament game...?

 

Patrick mchugh is one of the best players in the state but im not sure if anyone else deserves as much recognition except perhaps their goalie who i watched at the cbhs game do very well.

I think what's happening here is a surprise to everyone: I don't think the players expected to get this far. They have had this talent all season, all they needed was the mindset and the drive, which they have... Yesterday's game was borderline sloppy, USN's guys were getting a little violent when faced with trying to keep that lead... Kudos to Paul Fuchs (keeper) who was able to deflect a LOT of shots on goal that slipped by the defense.

 

Good luck, tigers!

USN is a nice team, but I have to saythis is definately surprising. We (McCallie) beat them 3-0 in a scrimmage and it could have been worse. If you had told me after that game that this team would be in the finals I would have laughed at you. I would have guessed maybe a third seed in the west, but no more. I am very, very surprised to see USN here. What would you guess the shot cuont was in the Catholic game.

I would say that knox had more shots , but they didnt have very many dangerous shots. I saw all but the first five minutes of the game and pauly was only really tried once that I saw. most of the others were either to high or too wide.

i don't know the shot count in that game but the shout count in the CBHS game was 24-5. USN is not a very suprising team. they are what you call lucky. each game they were dominated. espeacially CBHS game when they crossed half field three time in the thirty minutes of overtime. but good luck anyways. you'll need it against MUS. they are looking to avenge last year's final lost.

shots on goal were somewhere around 10-5 in favor of catholic. While alot of them might not have been very dangerous, the time spent on USN's side of the field can describe the game somewhat. They had a very obvious gameplan coming in to the game to get alot of people behind the ball. Usually it was somewhere around 7 or 8 guys. When that many people are in the vicinity of the box its hard to score no matter how much possesion you have on a team. USN was very disciplined and I'd say will be a very tough team for MUS to beat if they play how they did against us. Congrats USN you earned this opportunity.

ok. you can say that a team gets lucky in one game. but bottom line is usn has won multiple games(including the region tournament) against well qualified teams to get to the championship game. They had a rough season but clearly have peaked at the right time. your just a hater dude. usn is the realness and hopefully they will take out MUS and bring a state trophy back to nashville. there's no luck involved

USN is a surprise in most sports - becuase in the midstate they have absoltely no respect in the region. They are seen as the non-football school with the least athletes. Many who have played against them in region, Ryan's, MBA's and BGA's (may not have got past BA in any sport yet) can tell you that their style is to sneek up on you when you play a bad game and take advantage. EVERY win in any sport is huge for them, and this goes for soccer. There was a turn around in athletics under Zaf Ahmed and Coach Gordin for soccer. Basketball gets closer and closer, Track gets better, lacrosse gets better, soccer, obviously, is at a state championship level. Anyone who knows USN probably knows this was coming. But like Switch says in "The Matrix" - "Not like this, Not like this." Good Luck to both MUS and USN - but being from a rival school of USN's - i never will think USN will win a state championship - 2-0 MUS

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
