The District 11-A/AA soccer tournament's bracket rounded into shape after coaches met Monday.

One Bedford County team must end the season of another as No. 3 seed Cascade (5-5) hosts No. 6 Community (2-6) in the first round on Thursday afternoon at 4:30. Admission is $5.

The victor plays the Middle Tennessee Christian/Huntland winner in the semifinals next Tuesday night at 6:30.

The Lady Champions defeated the Viqueens 5-3 in Unionville back in mid-September in just the second meeting ever between the two schools on the soccer pitch.

On the other side of the bracket, top-seeded Page hosts No. 8 Cornersville in Brentwood and No. 4 Marshall County welcomes No. 5 Forrest to Lewisburg.

Both semifinals and the district championship take place in Huntland. The title match is on Oct. 22 at 6 p.m.

Garnering votes

The Cascade football team entered the Associated Press Top 10 for the second time this season, coming in at No. 10 in Class 2A.

The Champions pushed their record to 4-3 with their third straight victory Friday night, which was a 45-0 dismantling of Community at The Stable.

Cascade hopes to improve to 4-0 in District 9-A when it buses to Middle Tennessee Christian on Friday night.

A lot riding on the Football game for Cascade Friday night. A loss would likely leave them in a 3-way tie for the District title with MTCS and Forrest. All 3 will be favored to win out the remainder of season. Unfortunately, that scenerio would leave Forrest with the district title by tie-breaker rules. Second place and the other automatic berth would go to MTCS because of head-to-head results. That would leave Cascade in third and needing a wildcard berth to move on to post-season.

I don't think you want that to happen with a 6-4 record even though they would likely still get in.
