The new school in Williamson County, Independence beat Hume Fogg 6-1 last week. IHS only has freshmen and sophomores playing. Don't know if IHS is good or Hume Fogg is down or even if a scrimmage means anything. Too early...

I find that extremly hard to beleive. It true Hume Fogg must be a much different squad than i had assumed would be playing for them

That was the score. I was at the game. Hume Fogg is likely better that the score indicates. But IHS has some pretty decent players and will be competitive with most of the teams they play. With only freshmen and sophomores this year is for learning and gaining experience.

Did Hume Fogg play its varsity? Because often times when playing new schools teams will play there JV Against them so I will not make any judgements until I hear who Hume Fogg brought to the table for this one.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the outcome of a game like this. IHS is not bad but very young and likely HF didn't play their best game. I'll bet Hume Fogg is much better that the score of a scrimmage shows.

 

IHS has lost to Centennial 5-1 and Page 2-1 and beaten Hickman County 4-2 and Hume Fogg in its preseason scrimmages.

 

For freshmen and sophomores being competitive is the most important thing. No one thinks they will challenge the established 4 year class schools this year.

interesting comments about independence and hume-foggg

 

in my opinion independence is a better team

 

i know people on hume-fogg and they played all varsity players in that preseason game. hume-fogg is overrated and isn't anywhere near the team of last year, so think what you will but independence looks pretty good.

Hume Fogg is a good team, we played them 2 days ago and they beat us 2:1 they have strong players in the mid.

I watched Hume Fogg last week when they played CPA and won 1-0.

 

They are an excellent team in defense and midfield and I was very impressed with their passing and field position in these areas. I thought their offense lacked a little firepower and they seem to rely mainly on mistakes rather than creating great opportunities. I did also not see them use the sidelines much on offense.

 

I don't know if I would risk this with TSSAA refs, but they did use the offside trap a lot. In one instance, the refs missed two players offside completely and CPA had a breakaway which could easily have resulted in a goal.

 

I was also impressed with their goalkeeper handling. He has a quick and great throw out to the midfield sidelines, which can catch a few teams flat footed an at the wrong end of the field to defend.
