Same thing with volleyball - only 2 teams left there too. I predict BBHS way over their heads tonight - ND big match experience wins out.

I think "way over their heads" is a bit much. BBHS Played them to a 2-0 lose 2 weeks ago with 1 of the goals being an "odd" goal. I would say NDA is a big favorite but I would not say BBHS has no chance. BBHS needs to find a way to score which they have struggled with but if they can get 1 goal with their defense you never know. I have seen stranger things in soccer many times.

Good look to both and look for forward to a good game.

I will say the pressure is all on ND. It's all about expectations. Seems like for BBHS just getting to state was/is good enough - they've cleary exceeded all expectations for the season. ND expected to win state every year. Big difference.

"they've cleary exceeded all expectations for the season"???:confused:[Have you seen all season. They have been ranked ahead of everyone and expected to win the 10th region from day 1 of the season and they worked all year to live up to that. Believe me winning region for them was great but was not "good enough". They will not lay down in this game and they will go down with a fit win or lose. Maybe ND might just look past them and get bit in the back side. The big difference could be desire!!!

I think I might make the drive and watch this one. Two different styles of play in my opinion. Brossart "bash and crash", extremely physical and Notre Dame highly skilled and very deep on the bench. They play with skill and control to a level that I see a 3-0 win for Notre Dame this evening. I caught a little of Saturdays game with NCC and I have watched Brossart several times this year. Good hustle in the Mustangs but I think this is the end of the path. With that said, who knows, let's see who comes to play tonight. Well worth the $7

I have only seen one team that passed and controlled the ball better than BBHS this year and that is NDA. So I would have to disagree with the bash and crash comment. They do play physical but they pass the ball well. The only thing they do not do well is finish and score.

The only chance they have is 1-0 win or a shootout. I would be amazed if they scored 2 goals on NDA but here is to hoping and as the old line is sports says"thats why they play the game".:popcorn:

IMO, the big difference will be experience. The Panda's have it and know how to win big games in the State Tournament. They have also played a tougher schedule than BBHS.

How are both team's health? Any key injuries going into tonight?

Brossart very banged up after sat. BATTLE with CCHS but should have everyone play. They were missing 2 starters in the middle last time they played and lost 2-0. Hoping for better results but we will see. NDA is very talented, fast and I am sure sore as well after playing NCC who also plays hard. Who wants it more and can play through the pain may come into play after a long hard season.

If BBHS gets down 2-0 or more, things could get a little "chippy"

That's an incorrect statement "If BBHS gets down 2-0 or more, things could get a little "chippy" coming from someone who does not know this team.To say things will get "chippy" implies that they will play dirty because they are losing and that is just not true. This team plays great defense and people do not like it. BBHS has gotten 3 yellow cards and no red cards in 24 games so someone does no know their facts. Before you label a player or team make sure you know what you are talking about. It is the ref's job to clean up "chippy" play and it has not happen in a BBHS game yet so the person in change of stopping that kind of play does not see that either. That also goes for JUSTTHEDRIVER comments of "bash and crash" which is just not accurate IMO after seeing every game they played.

That's an incorrect statement "If BBHS gets down 2-0 or more, things could get a little "chippy".

 

How do you know what's correct and incorrect? Is the game over? When young, inexperienced, physical teams get down, things usually get rough. That's Futbol. I hope BBHS doesn't get as easily flustered as you do!
