Frosh Regional

[groinpull]

The card was not for flopping. The ryle player got a card for a foul involving ,what the ref must have felt like was an intentional trip of the cch player.

 

I didn't say anyone got a card for flopping

[Sir!]

It looked like Ryle had close to 25 players dressed for the game. Not sure with that many why they need to play their top freshman on both frosh and jv, but to each their own. From what I saw Ryle had the upper hand over CCH and it showed up in the final score line. CCH played Ryle tough, but 4-5 top players in the freshmen class do matter.

 

HHS will need to find another level of play to beat Ryle tomorrrow, but they have some nice players and the frosh coach does a good job of getting them to play together. Good luck Birds!

When you say caution that means a yellow card and the only yellow card was for the previous mentioned trip. You probably meant to say "warned " about the flop.

Playing top freshman at freshman level:

1. Could be a coaching philosophy with playing freshman at freshman level.

2. It could Be due to numbers, if you look at the ryle website they have 24 to 25 on each team.

3. It could be to keep a strong class playing together for the future health of the program, something we don't see much anymore as teams are in a hurry to rush players forward at all levels.

Bishop Brossart: saw the game tonight, they look like a sleeper in freshman tournament. Also thought Conner played well, they seem to hang a nice freshman core this year

I think we are all talking about different plays here. Some yellow cards were issued to ryle but I'm not referring to those. It was a hard played, clean game for the most part. The play I'm referring to didn't involve cards. As I predicted earlier....Ryle v St Henry in the final.

Brossart 2- Connor 0. Brossart plays Campbell Co at 10:15 am. Brossart won first meeting. Nothing like two neighbors slugging it out!

Ryle 1 HHS 0. This was an awesome game. HHS finally started to move the ball at speed. Ryle probably came out at a B- level effort wise and HHS took it to them. Free kick hit the crossbar. Ryle woke up for the 2nd half and controlled possession capped off by a great individual goal from about 25 yards out. Absolute lazer off of a slick move to slip the central mid. HHS started mounting the pressure in the 2nd half and had 3 great opportunities to score. One corner HHS player was a half step from connecting on a point blank header as he crossed the goalies face. 2nd, header wide off of a corner. Finally, in the last minute, a sitter was cleared off the line off of a free kick by #17 for Ryle. 2 HHS players were a step away from tapping it in. Awesome effort all around. The Birds defense has gotten very solid. When they move the ball like they did today, they are tough to beat. Ryle has great individual skill. They don't quite look cohesive. It will be more interesting than I thought today.

 

NewCath beat Cooper in penalties. They have a thin bench, and that will hurt against a deep Ryle team.

Also, Campbell County beat St Henry. Word around the grounds, they have the best individual player. They are playing their buddies right now. I don't have an update on that

Calvary up HC late 5-2

[Sir!]

Ryle beat HHS 1-0. Ryle is talented, deep and has some nice sized kids. Ryle dominated play in the first half. They didn't have a ton of clear chances, but looked more dangerous first half. Birds did a great job staying organized and moving the ball quickly on attack. HHS had several free kick opportunities including one that hit the crossbar. Score at half-time 0-0.

 

Ryle scored on a long (maybe 25 yard) really well hit strike after dispossessing HHS playing out of the back fairly early in the second half. After about 5 minutes of looking down, HHS came back really strong and put a ton of pressure on Ryle during the last 15 minutes of the game. HHS had maybe 6 or 7 corners in the second half. Ryle cleared at least one ball off its own goal line and the Ryle goalie had a great save to tip wide a shot heading for the top left corner. Very exciting game and well played by both teams. On balance the score is probably a fair result, but the Birds put Ryle to the test.

 

Good luck to Ryle in the remaining games.

Calvary 5 to 3 over HC

Brossart 3 to 0 for the Camels. Brossart v Ryle? It would make for a good final. Call it the NKSA Real Bluejays Cup.
