Some schools use them as a scrimmage, some do not. Many teams bring along a good number of JV players, and let them play. I don't think many coaches are going to show all their cards at Soccerrama.

Dominate? Here are some stats from RIHERD's KHSAA .......

 

Last 4 years....2009 - 2012 St Henry vs Parochial ...

School.............Record.......Regional finish of opponent

vs New Cath 2-1-1 (09 - 4th / 10 - 4th / 11 - 2nd / 12 - 9th)

vs Trinity 0-4 (09 - 1st/ 10 - 3rd/ 11 - 1st / 12 - 2nd)

vs Calvary Christian 2-0 (09 - 4th/ DNP / 11 - DNP / 12 - 8th)

vs Lex Cath 1-1-2 (09 - 4th/ 10 - 8th/ 11 - 9th / 12 - 10th)

vs Villa 4-0 (09 - 6th/ 10 - 6th/ 11 - 9th/ 12 - 7th)

vs St Patrick 1-0 (12 - 6th)

vs Holy Cross 4-0 (09 - 7th/ 10 - 8th/ 11 - 6th / 12 - 10th)

vs St X 0-3-1 (all #1's)

 

So "St. Henry tends to dominate among the parochial schools" may be a bit too strong. IMHO...."dominating" St Patrick, Villa, Calvary Xian and Holy Cross, (teams averaging finishing 6th or lower in their region) would not qualify as "dominating the Parochial Schools".....again....IMHO and according to the numbers.......

 

I hope this doesn't sound as if I'm diss-ing St Henry, because that isn't the case at all....I wish them the best of luck this season (until/if they play my Colonels)....just commenting on the dominance statement......

 

Yeah, dominate is probably a little strong, isn't it.

If dominate doesn't describe St. Henry over the past few years, can you think of a word to describe "your" Colonels over the past several years?

I am just happy there is actual soccer discussion/debate/jabs/etc.

I know what you mean.

Does anyone have a girls schedule, or do the girls not participate in soccerama?

If dominate doesn't describe St. Henry over the past few years, can you think of a word to describe "your" Colonels over the past several years?

 

Until last year........ "Coach-less"....not really a word, but describes the fact that they were talented teams that underachieved, due IMHO, to "Very Nice guys, but not soccer Coaches" at the helm........All changed last year...

 

Will that work?

"I know it was soccerama but 10th region big 2 knocked off 2 big boys in the 9th with Scott over St Henry and BB over CCH. "

 

 

Seriously? Didn't see the Scott / St H game, but St H hasn't been a "big boys" in the region for a few years.....on the boys side.......No disrespect intended......

BB played ok, but it was their 4th game counting Scrimmages and Blue Grass......CCH's first, and you could see the cobwebs being worked out. BB had a key injury that sat out, but CCH had 5. If thi was CCH's 5th game, I would be very disappointed in how they played....

 

Way too early to make those claims....... not even sure if you can call CCH a "Big Boy" this year......

 

I did qualify my statement with that it was only soccerama but I thought both teams took the game as more then a scrimmage and BB did have an advantage with the extra games played. The districts are a given except for maybe the Boone county district but surprised to hear you say St H isn't a player in the 9th region. They seem to have a tough time with Scott but play everyone else pretty tough and schedule up year after year. CCH will always be one of the teams to beat with their far reach, large male enrollment, and JR in charge! C'mon you know they're going to get everyone's best shot. Region must be down if CCH is not one of the teams to beat but we know JR will have them ready by tourney time. So when we get to region nine tournament and HHS,NCC,CCH,HC,StH,DHS,BC, and Ryle show up who do you like?

Until last year........ "Coach-less"....not really a word, but describes the fact that they were talented teams that underachieved, due IMHO, to "Very Nice guys, but not soccer Coaches" at the helm........All changed last year...

 

Will that work?

 

I would say the loss to NCC two years ago in the regional final has to be the ultimate proof of your statement.

Since you asked

 

Saw the Dixie/ Pendleton Cty game prior to the CCH/BB game......I think Dixie may have a long year.......Sorry....Didn't see 3 passes strung together all night.

HC will struggle this year...IMO......Lost a lot when ther Seniors left....May finish third in the District to Latin this year.....

HHS and NCC look to be strong. I know HHS lost at Soccerama but can't believe they showed their all.

Ryle lost a lot with their outgoing Seniors, but they do have some quality replacements coming up

St Henry will win their share of games but they lost a lot in the outgoing seniors as well.

Boone has a lot returning but can they pull it all together at the right time like they did last year? That is the question.

 

and then CCH......CCH lost a lot of experience and soccer IQ with their outgoing Seniors. They have a lot of talent, but have battled injuries and are still looking to find not only their starting line up, but their identity.......JR will have them gel'd and ready when the games matter.............

 

All this is the opinion of an old observer.....nothing more....

Keep it going!! Maybe someday soccer will have its own forum here on BGP!

Perhaps a private messaging campaign to THE GURU may make that happen......... :dancingpa

 

Oh please GURU, make it happen......Especially since the BGP has now become so large it has begun eliminating the competition (NKYSOCCER.com). Now is the time to make this the elite Soccer blog site and capture all of those now wayward, wandering bloggers looking for a place to land....people like Redhawks and IU5andcounting among others.......

 

If you build it, they will come.

But as a coach told me recently, juniors last year who are now seniors take ownership of their team and increase their play which makes the new team stronger.
