Today we will look at District 14 A-AA in girls’ soccer.
This district will meet up with 13 A-AA in the region tournament, but remember
only the top two teams from each district will advance to regions.
Geography is a big problem when looking at this district,
and that is why it has been split into divisions.
In the north, you have South Fulton that is near the
Tennessee-Kentucky border. In the south, you have McNairy Central that is near
the Mississippi-Tennessee border.
All of the teams in the south were members of District 15 A-AA last season.

Teams:
North
Gibson County
Trenton Peabody
South Fulton
South Side
South
Chester County
Fayette-Ware
Lexington
McNairy Central
Gibson County
The Lady Pioneers have struggled recently, but a change
in scenery might be just what the team needs to pick up a couple of wins.
Gibson County is in the side of the district where it can
gain confidence by getting just a few wins.
Trenton Peabody
The Lady Tide went 6-11 last season, and they were put
out by Haywood in the region tournament.
The good news for Peabody is that three of those wins
came against teams that are in its division now – Gibson County twice and South
Fulton.
Watch for senior leadership that Brooke Gonzalez, Alliyah
Jarrett, Qua’shae Lee and Rachael Schulze bring to the squad.
South Fulton
The Lady Red Devils have improved over the past four
years and are looking to take the next step in the journey to the top. South
Fulton has the potential to win their division and maybe make a run at the
district title.
Chester County
The Eaglettes made the Class A-AA state tournament two
years ago and made the region semifinals last year.
Chester County graduated three off last year’s squad
including Darby Miskelly, but the Eaglettes have plenty of talent returning.
The senior leadership of Baylie Pruett in attack and
Sarah-Grace McNeil on defense will be big for Chester County.
The Eaglettes also return other key elements to last
year’s team like goalkeeper Destiny Morris, midfielder Talia Hinson and
midfielder Cami Melaro.
Fayette-Ware
The Lady Wildcats picked up their first win of the season
last year in the region tournament as they beat Kingsbury.
Fayette-Ware would like to carry that momentum into this
season.
Lexington
The Lady Tigers return eight of 11 starters from last
year’s team, and they are under a new head coach.
Kirk Childers has taken over for outgoing coach Michael
Chambers.
Lexington returns plenty of talent on the field with
senior Kendall Chambers at forward and juniors Micah Blundell and Molly
McWilliams at midfielder.
McNairy Central
The Lady Bobcats have been rebuilding the past two seasons,
but they could be ready for a deep run in the postseason this year.
McNairy Central returns junior Rebekah Lowrie, who led
the team in scoring last year, and the Lady Bobcats only lost three players to
graduation.
Also watch for senior Porsha Chappell and junior Haven
Phelps to have good seasons.
South Side
The Lady Hawks return nine starters from last year’s team
and are looking to make a move up the standings this year.
South Side is led by three seniors in midfielder Meg
Parker, midfielder Martha Perez and goalkeeper/forward Amy Arnold.
