So starting today, most teams have 6 or less games left to play before districts start, depending on if you played in the All A, or other tournaments during the year. There are a few teams that have only 2 games scheduled the rest of the year.........

 

Has the Coach played enough players to see combinations that work? Are you healthy? Have enough lessons been taught.....teams congeeled?

 

Is your team ready? Anything you wished would have been done? Worried about anything?

 

If you have played your propable opponent in the regular season....did you hold enough back to take them by surprise when the game really counts....like CCH football brilliantly did in the HHS game.

 

Consider this the PRE-District thread......

Teams that will be ready for the tournament

 

Cov Cath: they are deep and talented, they have what it takes to win

 

Cooper : although no Zane Ross, Cooper has some quality players in key positions

 

Ryle: Ryle has flown under the radar all year (WHY?) they play hard and have 2-4 really good players.

 

Highlands: from what I've been told, they are big strong and fast, this is a deadly combination come tournament time.

 

Ncc: looking at the latest scores they may be back on track, they don't have a standout goal scorer but are good on set pieces, very solid defense, senior loaded team. Could make a run

 

Just my thoughts on what I've seen/heard this year, here's to hoping Nky can win state

Have been in a Nyquil state the last 4 days..........did I miss something with Ross? Is he out?

I liked Cooper when they could attack with the Ross, O'Brien and Snow triad. Losing Ross hurts both for what he added and because Cooper has limited options off the bench. Boone/Cooper game Thursday is huge as the winner wouldn't have to face Ryle in a potentially season-ending match first game of Districts.

 

Scott has a potential bump in the road with a first District tournament game against Campbell County. Augspurger is a tough matchup for Scott's back line based on his size and pace. Camels games against Ryle(Tuesday) and Brossart (Saturday) might shed light on just how nervous Scott should feel.

 

If the games were played on paper we could write Cov Cath through to a matchup with the Region 11 winner. I expect CCH will be working on getting healthy and defending set pieces over the next couple of weeks. Might be the difference in getting out of the Region this year.

Have been in a Nyquil state the last 4 days..........did I miss something with Ross? Is he out?

 

I've heard two diff rumors. Most reliable one has him out until first district game.

Would rather not speculate with rumors......but if injured....as to all injured players......good luck to him in returning.....

From a reliable source:::: he was asked to pack his bags, after a few comments to parents from other teams and emails to the principal they decided best to not have him participate
