COLUMBIA ACADEMY

[ca7]

there is no doubt that columbia academy is the most underrated team in the state i mean we havent even been ranked yet this season and they have been playin awesome.....they deserve to be at least 4th or 5th jus wonderin why yall think we are soo underrated

[Gerry Bertier]

good teams don't complain about rankings, they go out and play and at the end of the season prove everyone wrong.

[ca7]

well actually there not complainin cuz i dont even play on the team i jus support them but yea anyways back to the question why are they the most underrated team in the state they outplay evryone they play they deserve respect

[Gerry Bertier]

I will tell you why because they haven't had a win of a team that is of higher quality of them. They must be the elite teams in their division before they get ranked. It is easy to beat up on the teams they are suspose to beat. You get respect when you beat someone who is respectable.

actually they have a win over the 11th rated team, and three losses are to teams #1, #2, and #4.... will play #3 and #11 within next 10 days....pretty tough schedule, except for district pansies... teams #6 and #9 have zero wins over ranked teams

You guys are not growing as a team like your competition in your district.

Take Fairview for example, yea you won that one but Fairview showed 3 times the growth as a team that you guys did. If Fairview High would invest in their girls soccer program you would not even get this much credit because they would have given you the defeat you deserved.

Is the SIS schedule right on Columbia Central? It must not have all the games because I went to look and was not impressed but list the teams Columbia has played and who they will play. That might impress more people. 123 does not say anything without a team to put it with.

[it's me]

the team in question is columbia academy not columbia central

 

and i don't think they're underrated

I think being ranked #10 in A-AA is just right for Columbia Academy. It's nor an underrating, not is it an overrating. CA has played close with #1 FRA and #3 Anderson County, and notched a win against a tough White House team.

 

However, they aren't getting any brownie points after scraping by unranked Coffee County, DCA, Fairview, and losing to a new school Independence with 10 starting freshman. So #10 is a good fit for them.

 

I can also tell you the inside scoop. Head coaches vote on the Top 11 rankings, and frankly, few have ever heard of Columbia Academy. Schools like CCS, FRA, and Hume-Fogg have been in the lime light for a long time and get all the attention. If you make the state tournament more than 2 or 3 times, then you'll get some recognition and respect. I think CA could accomplish that the way their program is going.
