•*vBack to Work: Tigers Aim for Loftier Goals in '05

1 ot much haschanged from lastyear for the Univer-

sity of Memphis men's soccerteam. Although the programis coming off its best seasonin school history, the team'sapproach remains the same.

"Last year we played withthe purpose to prove that weare a really good team," saidMemphis head coach RichieGrant. "It was a team thatwas highly motivated andachieved a taste of successas a result. Our players wantto continue with those experi-ences. They want to advancethe program to a higher levelthan where we currently are.We're well aware that thereis a lot more for us to do."

After winning both theConference USA regular andtournament championshipsin 2004, Memphis plans tobuild on its success with anexperienced and talentedteam in a competitive re-aligned conference.

In 2004, Grant took ateam comprised of 14 fresh-men and turned it intothe lOth-most im-proved team in thenation from 2003.This year the Tigersagain have a largefreshman group with10 signees joining thesquad in the fall, butthe team returns severalsophomores with champi-onship-playing experienceand six upperclassmen withproven leadership abilities.

"The quality and maturityof the players will ultimatelydetermine thesuccess of theteam," Grantsaid. "We havea great balanceof experiencedveteran playersmixed in with young playersthat played last year and got

to experience winning a con-ference tournament."

COACHESRichie Grant enters his

seventh season as the headcoach at Memphis. In 2004,the Ireland native receivedhis second C-USA Coach ofthe Year Award. Grant is 61-45-6 with the Tigers and his.571 winning percentage isthe highest ever at the U ofM. The former Lambuth headcoach has a 114-74-8 overallrecord through 10 seasons.

Returning to the coach-ing staff is Robert Nich-olson, who enters his thirdyear at Memphis, and CarlSchmitt, who is in his sec-ond year. Remco de Jongjoins the staff this year as avolunteer goalkeeper coach.

"The coaching staff hastaken on some consistencynow that we've been to-gether for a full campaignlast year," Grant said. "Theplayers are very comfortablewith the staff. They know theexpectations that we havefor them. All the coaches

know our roles within theprogram."

After successful juniorcampaigns, All-Americansenior Dayton O'Brienand All-Conference seniorAndy Metcalf provide adangerous duo for the Ti-

gers thefor-ward

posi-tion.

O'Brienset Mem-

phis single sea-son and career re-cords for assists as

forward andmidfielderlast year with14 assists aswell as scor-

ing eight goals.Metcalf led the

team in 2004 with12 goals, includingfour-game winnersin conference play.

Also proving he couldbe a potent threat up front,sophomore Marcus Mc-Carty began and endedthe season strong, scoringeight goals while missing themiddle of the season due toa broken ankle. Senior Cor-mac McArdle played theforward position for the Ti-gers in the spring and hasthe potential to put up bignumbers as well. FreshmanKyle Minter will also begiven the opportunity to playwith the group.

"As a coach, you try tomake sure you have goodoptions," Grant said. "There'stremendous competitionat the forward position thisyear, which was the foun-dation of our success lastyear. Up front we feel like wehave options, and we havethe ability to move some ofthose players into other po-sitions as well."

MIDFIELDERSMemphis lost two of its

four starting midfielders inteam captain Daniel Dobsonand John Reilly, but returnsophomore Adam Mont-gomery/ a C-USA All-Fresh-man Team selection in 2004.Also returning is senior Ste-phen Cooling, who played16 games in the center ofthe park and scored threegoals with two assists.

Wide on the left, Grantwill look to McArdle, whoplayed well at the positionwhen healthy last year. How-ever, O'Brien and McCartyare also an option at thespot. The departure of Reillyhas left a wide hole on theright, but sophomore JaredBritcher has been impres-sive in the position duringthe spring.

Freshmen Tripp Parkins,Patrick Elkins, Brian Dool-ey, Robert Sausaman andGrant Wise will also competefor playing time in the midfleld,creating plenty of competitionfor the four positions.

DEFENDERSThe defense returns two

of the four starters from lastyear in sophomore MichaelCoburn at right fullback andsenior All-Conference USAplayer Gary Connolly an-choring the defense.

Memphis loses an expe-rienced center defender inJustin Dyer, but Grant be-lieves he will have several op-tions to fill the void. Coburnhas the potential to move tothe center to replace Dyerand freshmen Thomas Hy-land, Jordan Lynn, FrankJudice and Tomo Koyanoas well as sophomore Pat-rick Ahern, who transferedfrom Evansville, will all begiven chances to step intothe opening voids.

GOALKEEPERSThe Tigers' most un proven

area is at goalkeeper with twosophomores fighting for thestarting job after the depar-ture of last year's C-USA De-fender of the Year SebastianVecchio. Gavin Mclnerney

saw time in four games lastyear as a freshman and hasyet to allow a goal through130 minutes of play. Six-foot-five sophomore Tyler Stromsaw time in three games lastyear with two starts. Stromcompiled a 1-0-1 record with1.13 goals against averagein 239 minutes of action withnine saves.

"We have two good goal-keepers who will have tremen-dous competition for the startingjob," Grant said. "That decisionwill be made on a week-to-weekbasis, but we believe they areboth capable of helping us wina championship. They've comein and done well in thespring, and they areanchored by a gooddefense.

"It's a great time tobe a goalkeeper here,"Grant Added. "Our teamdefending is quite well.But we will still need themto come up big for us theway Sebastian did for uslast year."

SCHEDULEA new alignment of C-

USA in 2005 has created oneof the best soccer confer-ences in the nation. The con-ference has a new look withonly Memphis, UAB and EastCarolina remaining fromlast year. Added are fiveschools who competed inthe 2004 NCAA Tourna-ment in Tulsa, SMU,

UCF and new affiliate mem-bers South Carolina and FIU.Marshall and affiliate memberKentucky also make up the10-team conference.

"We're really pleasedabout the strength of ourschedule this year and the va-riety of schools that we playin and out of conference,"Grant said. "As the confer-ence changed, you're alwayshoping you maintain a goodschedule. We were very for-tunate that the schools thatmerged in the new C-USAbrought about a very excitingmen's soccer league."

Granthas posted a 61-45-6 record(.571) in his six years at Mem-phis and has a 114-74-8 overallrecord (.602) through 10 sea-sons.

Grant has grown accus-

tomed towinningand expectsnothing lessat Mem-phis. Underhis leader-ship, theTigers haveeclipsed the10-win mark three times andhave finished with a record of.500 or better in four of thelast five seasons. After postinga 7-11 record in his first year,Grant's Tigers put up a 14-6 re-cord in 2000, doubling their wintotal from the previous seasonand helping Grant become thefirst Tiger coach to earn Con-ference USA Coach of the Yearhonors, a feat he accomplishedfor the second time in 2004.

The 2004 season went down as a record-setting year forthe Memphis women's soccer program. The Lady Tigers tieda school record for victories with 11 and also set a school re-cord for goals-against average in a season. Memphis and itsindividual players also garnered numerous awards over theseason, the most in any one season in school history. Mem-phis compiled an overall record of 11-8-0 and a 5-5-0 markin Conference USA, which included a 4-1 start to the con-ference schedule. The Tigers also started the season strong,putting up a 7-2 mark in the month of September.

However, for all of the good things that happened in ear-ly 2004, the season did not end as Memphis had hoped. TheTigers had to win their final game of the regular season indouble overtime to assure themselves of a Conference USATournament berth. The Tigers then lost to eventual confer-ence champion UAB in the quarterfinals.

The Tigers will be looking to use the 2005 season tocontinue building on the positive aspects of the 2004 cam-paign and to advance further in the postseason. To do so,they will need to replace five of their top six point producers,a goalkeeper that started 15 of 19 games, and two startingdefenders. Memphis returns 10 players from last year's teamas well as a former all-conference player that redshirted lastyear. The Tigers add 15 newcomers to the team, including 14freshmen and a sophomore transfer that was an NAIA All-American last year as a freshman. The talentedrecruiting class of 2005 was ranked the27th best in the country by Soccer Buzz.

Memphis will also be faced withthe challenge of playing in amuch-improved Confer-ence USA, which wel-comes six new mem-bers for the 2005-06school year. Threeof those new members qualified for theNCAA Tournament last year, giving theconference four NCAA participantsfrom 2004 in its ranks.

ForwardsAlthough the Tigers lost five

of their top six point scorers andfour of their five top goal scor-ers, scoring goals might not beas much of a problem as mightbe expected from a team thatwas hit with such heavy losseson the offensive end. This is be-

cause of the expected contribu-tions from both veterans andnewcomers. Junior Shoko Mi-kami, who transfered to Mem-phis last year after leadingDivision II in goals, goals pergame, and points per gamein 2003 at Christian BrothersUniversity, injured her kneein spring workouts last yearand was forced to miss theb*first eight games last fall. She wreturned in time for the con-ference season, but never wasable to play at 100 percent and re-corded just one goal and one assistwhile starting just three games. Afterhaving a tremendous spring this year(nine goals in nine exhibition games),Mikami looks to have a full healthy sea-son and recapture her 2003 form.

"We have high expectationsfor Shoko this year," saidhead coach BrooksMonaghan. "It wasnot that realisticto have high ex-

pectations for herlast year with

her coming off her injury. However, she had agreat spring and proved to be the type of player wethought we were getting when she came here. Shewill only get better, and we expect her to contribute

a lot more and be a big factor in our offense."Another native of Japan that put up lofty offensive

numbers in her previous collegiate stop should alsofigure heavily into the Tiger offensive attack. Asuka

Kubota, a sophomore transfer from NAIA MartinMethodist College in Pulaski, Tenn., was an NAIA Ail-American last year after scoring 18 goals and recording22 assists in just 15 games. She will also figure to play amajor role in the offense.

"Asuka is an all-around talented player who weexpect to contribute immediately," said Monghan."She can play forward or midfield, and she bringsinternational experience with her. She has a knack

for scoring goals and we expect her to be a bigpart of our offense."

Another player that had a strong spring ex-

I

hibition season and will be looking to extend that play to thefall is sophomore Candace Halvorson, who is in her thirdyear in the program. She saw her first season of action lastyear after redshirting with a knee injury in 2003 and playedin 11 games, starting six and scoring one goal. This spring,she recorded three goals and a pair of assists. She will belooked upon to increase her production and will likely seemuch more playing time than last season.

"Candace is a very versatile player in that she can playanywhere up front or in the midfield so we feel comfortableputting her anywhere" Monaghan explained. "If she playswith confidence she can be a fantastic player."

Sophomore Caroline Barrett, who rotated between theforward and midfield positions last year, is the lone returneefrom last season that scored more than one goal. She alsofigures to see time at both forward and midfield this year.She played in 18 games and started 13 last year, but did notrecord a point after Memphis' fifth game of the year. The Ti-gers will look to her to increase her production as she returnsfrom an injury that kept her sidelined for much of the springseason.

"We expect bigger and better things from Caroline thisyear. She was nursing a knee injury for most of the yearlast season and we are yet to see her play at 100 percent,"Monaghan remarked. "Her main goal in the offseason wasto get back to 100 percent and we expect a different, moreconsistent player in Caroline now that she is back to fullstrength."

Also figuring to see some action up front will be fresh-man Kylie Hayes, who comes to Memphis with some ex-traordinary high school credentials. The Piqua, Ohio, nativescored 141 goals and recorded 37 assists in her scholasticcareer, which included a state-leading 47 goals as a senior.Her 141 goals rank third all-time in Ohio State High SchoolAthletic Association history. The Tiger coaching staff iscounting on her to bring some of that scoring prowess withher to Memphis.

"Kylie is very athletic and extremely fast. She has scoreda lot of goals in her prep career and we expect her to come inand score goals here as well," Monaghan commented. "Werecruited her as a goal scorer."

MidfieldersAlthough the midfield will probably have the most

amount of newcomers seeing playing time, it still has achance to be one of the strongest areas for the Tigers thisyear as two former all-conference picks are expected to startand provide solid leadership from the middle of the field.

Perhaps the most significant addition to the Tigers for

HHPHIS

v

2005 is entering herfourth year in the LadyTiger soccer program.Redshirt junior NickyMcLeod returns to Ti-ger lineup for 2005 aftermissing the entire 2004season with a knee in-jury. A 2003 All-Con-ference USA first teamselection, McLeod re-corded two goals andfour assists in 2003as a sophomore andwas the only Memphisplayer to start all 18games while anchoringthe U of M midfield.

"Nicky provedthis pastspring that —^she is *~~ Aback to the ^,al l -confer-ence form Nicky McLeodshe played at in 2003 and adding a proven player like herto the mix may be our biggest addition of the year," saidMonaghan.

Also returning is another All-C-USA honoree in juniorMelissa Savage, who played center-midfield last year andwas named third team All-C-USA. She played in all 19games last year, starting 17. Although she recorded just onegoal on the year, her importance to the team goes beyond thescoring column, as her aggressive style of play and challeng-ing of every ball can be counted on to give the Tigers a lift.

"Melissa was a big contributor to the midfield last yearand we expect the same from her this year," said Monaghan."We also expect her to take on more of a leadership role thisyear as a junior and to continue being a general in the middleof the field."

The remainder of the playing time in the Tiger midfieldwill be divided up among a slew of newcomers, all of whomhave the potential to see lots of time on the field. Also fig-uring into the midfield picture are freshmen Laura Pfef-fer, Katy Booth, Emiko Schwab, Lindsey Joseph, SarahMacGregor, Lauren Everhart and Aika Young. Addition-ally, forwards Halvorson, Hayes, Barrett and Kubota couldalso see time in the midfield. With the amount of players thathave the ability to play in the midfield but also elsewhere,

Page 40: 2005 Memphis Soccer Media Guide

not only does it look to be the deepest positionon the team, but the midfielders are also ver-satile. Booth, Everhart, Joseph, Schwab andYoung also have the ability to play forward.Young also brings international experiencewith her to Memphis as the Guam nativeis a member of the Guam National Teamand has played in several internationalcompetitions.V.

The only other returnee on defense that also played inthe backfield last year is sophomore Elaine Sedgewick.

One of two natives of England on the team, she spentlast year behind veterans McGee, Raine and

Shelton but still played in 14 games, start-ing three and recording a pair of assists.Her role will almost certainly increasethis year.

Shewas second on the team in assists, and is the leading return-ing point scorer for the Tigers. She was one of just fourplayers that played in every game last season. In addition toMelton's and Smart's exploits and leadership on the field,both are also leaders in the classroom, as both received aca-demic accolades last season as well.

"Courtnee was somewhat limited in the spring as shecontinued her recovery from her injury, but she is one of ourmost consistent defenders and we expect from her what shehas given us in each of her first three years," Monaghan ex-plained. "We will also look to her to increase her leadershiprole both on and off the field as a senior.

"She was a consistentdefender last year and we expect her to step up her leader-ship role this year as well. She has matured and establishedherself as someone we look to for leadership."

will only get better as she gets more comfortable playing ondefense."

The remainder of the defense will be made up of new-comers. Kate Murphy, the second member from Alaska tocome to the Tigers in the last two seasons, joins her fellowAlaskan, Sullivan, on the roster. She has the ability to playdefense or midfield.

A pair of Canadians from Ontario also figure to get someminutes in the backfield. Both Alexandra Atkinson and Jo-anna Alexopulos hail from Mississauga and join Keating asmembers of the Tigers from North of the Border.

Chloe James is a very versatile player that was named aGirls' High School All-American last year as a senior in theCincinnati area. She will most likely see quite a bit of timeon defense, but has played every other position in her prepcareer as well except for goalie. Finally, Maggie Leone is

Page 41: 2005 Memphis Soccer Media Guide

the lone recruit to join the Tigers this year from the Memphisarea, and her gritty style of play figures to earn her someminutes on defense as well.

GoalkeepersNatalie Haerens, who set three single-season school re-

cords last year as a freshman, elected not to return to Mem-phis, leaving the Tigers with one returnee and one newcomerto compete for the position between the pipes.

Isabel Briones is in her third year in the program afterredshirting with an injury her first season. She saw actionin five games last year, starting four, and compiled a 1.23goals-against average in just over 365 minutes, helping con-tribute to the Tigers' all-time low team GAA. She also hadone shutout. She showed a great deal of improvement duringthe spring exhibition season, recording five shutouts.

"Isabel will only be a sophomore eligibility-wise, but shenow has the maturity of an upperclassman, having sat outher first year here," explained Monaghan. "She has maturedtremendously since she first got here and had a great spring.As of the end of the spring, she has earned the goalkeeperspot and has proven that she has the ability to takeon a starting role. However, she will have to keep ahold on it because it will be a competition oncepractice starts."

Incoming freshman Caroline Allenwill compete with Briones for the start-ing role, and she comes to Memphiswith some impressive credentials. TheGatorade Player of the Year in Arkansaslast year, the Little Rock native has beena member of the Olympic DevelopmentProgram Region III team the last fouryears.

ScheduleIn addition to the tougher Conference

USA schedule featuring three NCAATournament teams from last year, Mem-phis will also once again play a schedulethat includes a heavy regional flavor. Theschedule includes 10 home games, all ofwhich will be played at the Mike RoseSoccer Complex, seven road games andone neutral field game. The non-con-ference slate features four opponentsfrom the Ohio Valley Conference,two from the Missouri Valley, twofrom the Southeastern and one fromthe Sun Belt. Isabel Briones

£ /Brooks MonaghanHead Coach - Sixth SeasonMemphis, 1994

Head coach Brooks Monaghan has been involved withthe Memphis women's soccer program ever since its incep-tion back in 1995. Now entering his sixth year as head coach,Monaghan led the Lady Tigers to 11 wins last year, tied forthe most in school history, and has the program pointed inthe right direction with the addition of a nationally-rankedrecruiting class this year.

Monaghan, who led Memphis back to the ConferenceUSA Tournament last year after a one-year absence in 2003,will be looking to guide the Lady Tiger program to back-to-back appearances in the tournament for the first time sincethe 1996-97 seasons. The team will also be looking for its

third appearance in the last four sea-jrfl^ sons.

the second Lady Tiger in asmany years to garner first teamall-conference honors, only thesecond time in program historythat Memphis has had two C-USA first teamers in successiveseasons.

Additionally, Monaghan's Tigers also garnered moreConference Player of the Week awards than in any previ-ous season. His team's success not limited to just the fieldeither, Monaghan's Tigers were also the recipient of anNSCAA women's soccer team academic award last year fortheir work in the classroom, totaling a 3.21 team grade-pointaverage for the 2003-04 school year. Two players, currentsenior Robyn Smart and Annika Moller, were named to theCoSIDA District IV All-Academic teams and another, cur-rent senior Courtnee Melton, was named to an NSCAA/Adi-das Regional Scholar-Athlete team.

All of these accolades came following a 2003 season inwhich the Tigers went 5-10-3, as eight of their 10 losses wereby one goal. The Tigers' improvement of four games in the2004 season was one of the top 25 turnarounds in the coun-try and was also the greatest improvement from one seasonto the next in school history.

Monaghan's 2002 squad improved by three-and-a-halfgames and won four more contests than it had the seasonbefore. His 2002 team was the first squad in program his-tory to finish with at least a .500 record in conference play,and the Tigers managed that feat by winning four of theirlast five C-USA games en route to qualifying for their firstC-USA Tournament under Monaghan and their first since1997. This followed the disappointing 2001 season, whichwas much like the 2003 campaign, as it saw the Tigers losenine games by one goal in finishing 5-13-1. Monaghan's2000 team, his first as head coach, went 9-11, which was anoverall improvement of three games from the 1999 season.It also saw the Tigers win four more games than the previousyear.

Prior to him becoming head coach in 2000, Monaghanserved as the goalkeeper coach under his predecessor, LesSzabo, for five seasons from the program's beginning in1995. A former goalkeeper in his playing days, his tutelagehelped decrease the team's goals-against average from 2.74in the program's first year in 1995 to 1.77 in his final year as

an assistant. As head coach, he continued coaching the goal-keepers up until this year, and last season, helped freshmangoalkeeper Natalie Haerens record a school record six shut-outs and a record 1.18 goals-against average. The team hadseven shutouts, which equaled a team record for shutouts ina season, and he also helped the team set a school record byrecording a team GAA of 1.19. Further proving his merit asan outstanding goalkeeper instructor, he recruited goalie andArkansas High School Gatorade Player of the Year CarolineAllen to come to Memphis beginning this year.

Monaghan began his coaching career after a standoutplaying career at Memphis. After playing at the Universityof Evansville his freshman year, Monaghan transferred toMemphis and made his mark on the Tiger record books. Hestill holds the school records for career shutouts (24), careerGAA (1.40), single-season shutouts (11) and single-seasonGAA (0.80). His 298 career saves rank second all-time. Hewas named first team All-Great Midwest Conference in 1992in helping lead the Tigers to a share of a conference title.He was named the Great Midwest Conference Champion-ship Defensive MVP in 1993 in leading the Tigers to an out-right conference title and the program's first-ever berth inthe NCAA Tournament. His 38 career wins as a goalkeeperis also a school record.

A former prep standout at Christian Brothers HighSchool in Memphis, Monaghan's collegiate play helped earnhim a spot on the U.S. Under-20 National Squad. Monaghanalso played professionally for the New Orleans Gamblers inthe USISL from 1995-96 and with the Memphis Express in2002.

iii -A*m _-*_An overall successful season ended for the Memphis

women's soccer team with a 4-1 loss toeventual Conference USA Tournamentchampion UAB in the quarterfinals of theleague's postseason classic. The Blazerswould eventually go on to the NCAATournament and upset Wake Forestin the first round before bowingout to Tennessee in the second ^_round.

The Tigers hadthe best start to a sea-son in program his-tory, winning four oftheir first five gamesand putting together a7-2 record through the monthof September, which includedthe program's first win overregional rival Ole Miss since2001 and just the second inprogram history. The win inOxford also broke the Reb-els' streak of 16 straightnon-conference homewins and 22 straight non-conference home gameswithout a loss, a streakthat spanned since the1999 season. Memphisended the month of Sep-tember by defeating defending conference champion DePaulin the Tigers' home opener, giving Memphis a 2-0 recordagainst teams that had participated in the 2003 NCAA Tour-nament.

Memphis also started its Conference USA schedule 4-1 and were in a tie for second place on October 10. Fromthere, however, the Tigers lost four straight, including twoby one goal, and found themselves needing to win their fi-nal game of the year against Cincinnati to qualify for the C-USA Tournament. In an exciting double overtime game, theTigers topped the Bearcats 1-0 in as senior Monica Powellscored her first goal of the year as the game-winner on thefirst assist of the year from senior Leanne McGee. The winpropelled the Tigers into the C-USA Tournament for the firsttime since 2002.

All of the success was possible despite the Tigers miss-ing two of their top players from 2003. Yuiko Konno and

he University of Memphis beganas a small state teacher's college.Today, the U of M is a major center

for learning and research.The University of Memphis' roots

date back to 1912 when radio wasyoung, motion pictures were silent andWilliam Howard Taft was in the WhiteHouse. Named West Tennessee StateNormal School, the institution's maitl pur-pose was to educate secondary-schoolteachers. It became West TennesseeState Teachers College in 1925.

Answering the need for a compre-hensive school in the Mid-South, WTSTCexpanded its curriculum. In 1941, the Lsschool's name changed to Memphis StateCollege, and in 1957, the college re7 •ceived university status and became Memphis State

§versity. On July 1, 1994, the name was changedhe University of Memphis. The U of M now has

more than 20,000 students and a campus of 1,160acres on four different sites.

onsidered the "Home of the Blues" andthe "Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll," the cityof Memphis' musical roots run deep.

.However, music is just a chapter in the historyilajsiwell as the future of the city located in the

Heart of Mid-America.Memphis, named after the capital of-an-

ent Egypt, boasts all the amenities you'would expect in a city with over 1 million resi-dents, while retaining the charm and down^Jto-earth feel of a small town.

[Downtown Memphis is in the midstlofj

is transforming the heart of the city. Oneof the most visible projects has been theconstruction of AutoZone Park, the dqwnjtown ballpark which is the home of'theMemphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals'Triple-A club. The 14,320-seat stadium in-cludes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suitesand is located at the corner of Third Streetand Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel.

The city's newest downtown project isFedExForum, an entertainment arena> that_houses both the Memphis Grizzlies.of.the.NaVtional Basketball Association and the UniveVjjsity of Memphis men's basketball team. The$250 million state-of-the-art arena features|a35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fansof all ages can gather before an event. Th"§arena has over 100 points of sale for conces!sion stands and four full-service restaurants!FedExForum is located one block south "ofBeale Street.

Memphis' musical roots can be traced toband leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the firstblues song here in 1909, a campaign themefor Memphis mayor "Boss" Crump called "BossCrump Blues" and later published as the "TheMemphis Blues." The sound soon caught onand blues bands filled the clubs along Beale.Young musicians who have performed alongBeale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Al-bert King, Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King.

Beale Street has rapidly become the enter-tainment center of Memphis and visitors andlocals alike enjoy the food and music offeredin the various nightclubs. From B.B. King's tothe Daisy Theatre, from Silky O'Sullivan's tothe Hard Rock Cafe, from Pat O'Brien's to theRum Boogie Cafe, Beale Street has somethingto offer for everyone.

Where Beale Street meets the Mis-sissippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the

The rankings

To tie included in our rankings, a city must have at least an NCAA Division I oas-tetoatl team or a Class A minor league baseball team, or it must score in selectother categories upon wnich we base our rankings. Those other categories includebeing (he site of a training camp for a major league or Na team; a NASCAR NextelCup race: an NCAA Division I-A bowl game: a PGA Tour tournament, or a Triple

I Crown horse race.Once a city meets the minimum criteria, we take a 12-month snapshot roughly

torn July to July, of the sports atmosphere, putting a heavy premium on regular-season records (from the most recently completed season); playoff berths, bowlappearances and tournament bids; championships; applicable power ratings; qual-ity of compeTition: overall fan fervor, as measured in part by attendance as a per-centage of venue capacity; sports atmosphere and fan knowledge; abundance offcams, though we reward quality over quantity: stadium/arena quality ticket avail-**ty and prices; franchise ownership, and marquee appeal of athletes.

Tradition plays a minimal role because this is a 12-month ranking that startso«o each year. Likewise, we choose not to delve into sports about which we aren't
