Best Academy team of all time??

When was the last time RASE played LFS, Texas Spirit North, DT Scott? It's been 1.5 years since RASE has played DT South.

While SRSA played top boys teams they also faced off against the other top girls teams going into select. RASE has not. That has to DQ them from being compared anywhere near a team we have factual results vs. their peers (SRSA 03) going into select... we just don't have that with RASE.

Does RASE have to play 04 age group even in Select? In any case, I'm sure y'all know where they will play in every tournament not hard to find out. Nothing to stop DTS jumping into that same division Shelby!

No one is talking about DTS or LFS or Texas Spirit. This is about people who believe RASE, mostly their and other LP parents, is the "Best All Time" academy team, a lofty claim for sure. One that is absurd given they have not played the other top teams in over a year much less touched national stage. And no, other top teams are not out looking for RASE... its more RASE is looking to not play them whatever the reason.

Listen to these people, SRSA simply recruited best team by "consolidating top talent"... WTH do you think RASE has been trying to do? Oh no wait, RASE is best all time because they have best coach, program, and parents ever.

Lucky for SRSA girls they were not born in 04 age group right...???

Funny I now remember how much hate DTS 03 parents had for SRSA.

Missed again... DTS always respected and enjoyed playing SRSA, got whooped, had close games, and even won once... No mistake SRSA was best team going into select because they beat up on everyone else.

RASE has not done this... it's really that simple. They may in fact be best 04 team... LP parents are happy to take that on faith and that's ok. Claiming best ever is a joke

I think they have a right to at least be in the argument otherwise the OP wouldn't have entered them into the equation.

The OP has an 06 and that's even funnier seeing as they also have a 99 and should know better but I really shouldn't be surprised.

Such strong words "Claiming best ever is a joke".. Something must not be boiling over well in your stomach this morning. As much as you hate to say it out your mouth Shelby, RASE '04 has a case. Name one other '04 team that can stake claim to ANY of what I posted above?? Who, DTS '04? Now back to my original post.....

turftoe9 wrote:The other thing is SRSA challenged all of the the top 02 teams to a scrimmage which the top 2 teams choose not to do. We beat 3 of the top 5 02 girls teams going into select. I also so know some parents from Rase and told them  that we would scrimmage t them and they have turned it down.

Now where was I.. Oh yea.. Not sure about above in red.  RASE '04 has beaten 2 of the top 3 '03 girls team before select .. And we all knew who was #1

OP as previously stated, has seen all teams in the discussion. Have you? I could care less about how many goals team a scored against team xx. But that's just me.
What's really funny is you don't think RASE belongs in the discussion, but...that's not surprising either.

It's a simple fact SRSA has the resume and RASE does not. RASE hasn't been hiding as shelby would like to believe. Sorry but your team just isn't that scary. Everytime you puff up as a pretender to the throne you get smacked down by your peers with another loss. Instead of worrying about RASE you should focus on your own teams inconsistencies. Besides your team could have always stepped up into boys or find a tournament that RASE was playing in. You know where we are so maybe it's you thats ducking or maybe you just aren't pretty enough to get into the dance. As far as some offer to scrimmage SRSA, it never happened. RASE would take that beating anytime, anywhere. Now with the recruiting, I really wish the coach would hold an open practice call and bring out the best players he can get. I think not only will additional talent help but the idea of new talent coming in to take spots will drive the kids on the bottom of the roster. The idea that I have made the final team is a poisonous one that breeds complacency and laziness. But I am not the coach and its not a decision I get to make (however if anyone wants to come out PM me and I will pester and bug the coach). Is RASE in the discussion? Sure. Are they on top? My eyeball test and some results say they are but the final resume test says they are not. Come back and apply when there are some signature wins (and DTS isn't one) like in vegas etc. Turftoe let's get that scrimmage going. Shelbz...stop tying and losing, learn to dominate your peers and then give us a call otherwise we will see you in D1. RASE may be no SRSA but DTS04 is definitely no DTS03

Duplicate posting hmmm...

RASE is a great team but DTS 04 certainly is not in running for best academy team ever and no one on our team would think that.

SRSA 03 is the BEST ACADEMY GIRLS soccer team EVER that has played in North Texas! They do have most of the top players in the age group and a great coach that trains the girls to play soccer the right way and they are sure fun to watch. Unlike other teams mentioned in this SRSA 03 not only beat their competition but they crushed them with 10+ score lines! Other teams dread playing them. What team has ever done that? Rowdies 99 in their heyday never put fear in teams like that or beat Sting 99 by double digits or even won a national tournament before they played select and we know they were great. To show what a great team SRSA 03 is they will beat the Texans 99 team LH record and score over 100 goals their first year in select. Now that is consistency! What also shows the greatness of this team is their two top scorers from adademy days are playing up. Had those players kept playing with them in select, SRSA would have scored 150 or more goals? No team has been that dominating in a division. Sting 95 was a excellent team but had competition. Kicks 06 way to early to see. RASE 04 have to first play and win without a doubt against their competition. There are some in the 04 group that do not even consider RASE the best team? There was never one iota of a doubt that SRSA 03 were the very best. They have forums around the country still talking about them. This is a good discussion and every team mentioned should be proud but SRSA 03 record of dominance on the field and the amount of haters and fans on these forums made them the most talked about and best academy team N. Texas has ever produced. We should all hope they can keep it up.

The defacto Kicks '06 lost to Sting and battle each week polling players just to compete each week. No way they should ever be in the discussion as the best of all time. RASE 04 are not even elite in there own age group anymore. Is there any team out there ?

It took you 7 months to come up with that...

Let's not beat a dead horse on this, it's been established who the #1 academy and select team is...

Corinthians 91 was the best academy team in history in my opinion. It was a shame to watch those parents blow that team up after 1 year. "Z" had the most skillful and athletic girls team team ever assembled!

Aww man, why did you have to ruin such a good thread with such an idiototic 1st post?
All posters had something worthwhile to contribute, and 11monkeys had tied it up nicely with a great analysis. How often does that happen?
At least use your normal profile name so everyone can understand why this post has zero credibility. We get it, RASE beat your 04 DD's team and you've been waiting to say I told you they weren't that good. Kicks beat your 06 DD's team with what you feel was borrowed players. But from my understanding, the Kicks team in question doesn't play with borrowed players. So instead of using this to attack those teams, tell who you think IS the best team, instead of who is NOT. Feel free to use either of your usernames.
