| High-school baseball and soccer in East Tennessee is loaded with talent. One of these days UT will get a men's soccer team and I promise you they will be good. | |

| I was an all KIL player as a Frosh at school (Karns) before transferring out of the Public School System my Soph year. Granted, I am 30, so this is a little dated, but Farragut and Oak Ridge were both Monsters on the national scene. The Tri-cities area in Kingsport DB had a beastly team as well with all the immigrants working at Eastman.

| note: I scored a goal and got 2 assists against CAK and they were 3rd nationally back then. We played in a tourney as we were in different divisions. Heckuva battle as our team was coached by a former MS ST football player so we were a bunch of bruisers and they were much smaller and a finesse team. We beat em up for 90+ minutes... it was a good day

| Don't know about high school soccer. Around the country, the best soccer is played on Division I club teams. High school soccer is an afterthought. I understand that in TN you can't play on both. Too bad. | |

| Anybody know how good this kid is? I played at Bearden with two guys that had better stats than this guy that played at LSU and MTSU. Delmonico missed out on so much local talent. | |

Our best FC's are forced to play in state as most high-school ball around the country is in the fall and club ball is in the spring. Here it's the opposite, but that did have advantages like being able to play basketball, soccer/baseball, and football for your school. It would be like TN having basketball as a fall sport and AAU ball in the spring. "It is what it isn't", to quote our founder... Posted via VolNation Mobile | |
