I didn't see the same thing, were you actually at the game? WJ did not impress me. If the Camels would have came out of half time with the same intensity that they played the first half with, WJ doesn't score. NDA will smash them, just my opinion.

 

Dont forget West was playing without one of their best defenders who was lost for the season with an injury and without one of their top playmaker who was out this game with an ankle. Still very good but nowhere near full strength

Will the top playmaker be back today?

Not to brag, but I called that one -Overrated. They didn't even make it to NDA. Like I said, if Camels play both halves with intensity, they would have been the one's playing today.

I wouldn't go bragging too much. You didn't call anything. You have a bias to the Camels and that is understandable. It doesn't make you right, it just makes you loyal. Nothing wrong with that. No one can predict the outcome of these games, that is why they play the game.

So I shouldn't go bragging, but it's okay for you. Pretty sure you were the one on here stating how much better WJ was than anyone, and giving out backhanded compliments about how proud you were of the Camels that they kept it so close even though they were so over-matched. Face it, you got this one wrong, and yes, I did call it.

Pressure, West played without two Of their top 4 players the this game and through the state, both All State players. They played much more defensive the rest of the year. That doesn't make them overrated. It doesn't diminish CC either, they have a real good team and would have played West tough either way but to ignore the changes West had to deal with is just uninformed.

Just a few points on West Jessamine. West beat South Oldham 8-4. It was 8-0 with 15 minutes left when West pulled their last starter. SO scored 4 goals in the last 11 minutes against the reserves. Six weeks later in the regional final, West is now without two of their starters a D (rest of season ACL) and MF (out regional final, sub sectional and played at about 60-70% level in final 8 game) and they played one of their main MF playmakers on D in the regional final. West also played the same MF on defense against SHA (only two games she played D) and won 2-1. SHA scored on a great free kick from ~ 25 yards out. West had plenty of offense before the injuries to move some O to D. Against CC, West played a girl that had never played MF in the midfield most of the game. High school soccer is a lot different than club, you have holes and you have to move players to where you think you’ll match up best against a particular opponent. The past two seasons West was 39-4-6 playing a top 5 schedule. The past 3 years they have been knocked out of the State Tournament by the eventual State Champion (still possible this year as well). Were they overrated? Obviously, I am too close to the team to have an unbiased opinion. But, I don’t think you can judge that on one, or two, games (that were 1-0 win and 0-1 loss) either.
