Seems like they are trying to get an economy of scale to squeeze out the NASL

Yes. Djiby seemed to be given a very free role on Saturday to get away from markers. FCC is at best with him as a point man and Kadim and Jimmy running the channels off of him. They both sat. Weideman is not a wing.

Why does Koch rotate his team so much? Has he started the same 11 in back to back games yet? I get it last night with Tuesday looming, but it creates a disjointed group

Let it go. Last year you got your licks in and it was weirdly understandable for all those that grew up outside of Highlands. Now, getting like this after a scrimmage...it comes off as you have nothing else to focus on. Go read a book or something

I saw it as he wants his girls to be mentally tougher in hostile, and/or adverse settings, and he referenced the NDA game as an example of where and why they to improve.

Anderson claims this as their golden generation. CovCath stepping up to the challenge for sure.

HC lost a TON, and by a TON, I mean about everything you can lose from a team. I don't see how Pikeville doesn't walk through this one.

If they lose to Scott, they are not a top 10 team in 5A.

Where is this game? I don't see Pikeville losing, but I could see the bus ride affecting the first quarter for the traveling squad.

For the kids' sake, I hope that they do, I love it when smaller squads get a chance to go toe-to-toe w/ deeper teams. What is the depth like overall? The Western teams are so loaded with depth that it is tough to match up to.

Final score was 4-2. I looked at Moeller's schedule. This was their 2nd scrimmage and they did 4 team camps in the offseason. Do they not have dead period in Ohio?

Yikes. I left with 10 minutes to go

I don't know anything about Moeller soccer, but HHS JV won 2 to 1 and Varsity was up 2 to 0 when I left near halftime

How much do they interact? Highlands has all 3 levels practice separately. I don't see the 13-14 year olds around the Jrs and Srs much at all. After practice, they all go at separate times. Any socialization would be after practice, and being on the same soccer team has little to do with that. That's just being part of the same community.

If I remember correctly, he had testicular cancer as a player. Is that correct?

Highlands will have a goal scorer. Schweitzer will get 20+ this year. He links play very well and has a howitzer for a left leg. Holmes will chip in double digits. Hedenberg is a threat cutting in from outside. What I meant was that there isn't a player, YET, on the team that can take over. They all play their roles very well inside of the system. I hope that I am wrong and someone steps up to be that difference maker v. CovCath and Ryle.

Highlands is deep even through JV. They are missing one game breaker up top to really be dangerous. I think by the end of the year that they will be in the top 2 with CovCath in terms of Regional favorites.

Highlands 8 to 1 over Boone.

How'd the Colonels do. How did the KHA guys do? Really liked that group. Great kids

Not trying out. Just participating to get field time, I believe. Never in contention for a spot and didn't take opportunities from other players. He goes to the school.

From what my boys tell me, the Freshman is part of the Crew DA and can't play in high school. He took part in try-outs and looked pretty secure on the ball and athletic. I don't know about his older brother other than he is considered very good.

That is how he admitted to gambling on baseball, by putting it in an auto-biography and selling the book. He went on a marketing blitz to discuss it. He didn't just come clean. He tried to make some money off of it.

During a book tour to promote how he actually had broken rules and this is the story of how and why. Buy the book, it's all in there.

As part of a private, independent investigation, I don't feel like he had to report a crime that involved a minor after that minor become an adult. If the lady was comfortable enough to report this to Dowd, she should have reported it to the authorities herself. She may have asked him not to report it. Had he found out that Rose slept with her when she was 14 and she was still under 16, or under 18 and he had paid for her plane ticket to New...

I think I know who you are referring to. Parents have calmed a little, but he's staying at St. X.

Are you talking about Ferris? There is another Freshman that has great footskills and holds his own. He is on JV. His size is the only thing keeping him from being Varsity, IMO, besides the depth the program has right now.

Are you talking the entire program?

I think that there is something to be said for high school soccer in regards to athletic ability. Many Freshman coming from club teams may technically be Varsity level, but if they aren't Varsity size wise, it is only a matter of time before they get exploited. Highlands has a Freshman on Varsity who has the jets and the athleticism. He can definitely help. It will be interesting to see how he does. He looked great at tryouts.

If the girl is an adult when she told him, isn't it her responsibility to bring action? He never had knowledge while she was a juvenile, and really, all he had was the word of an adult.
