Highlands at South Oldham (8/2)

Cooper at Clark Montessori (8/4)

South Oldham at CovCath (8/9 @7pm)

St. Henry v St. Henry Alumni (8/13)

 

Others (besides Soccerrama)?

 

Just FYI... Clark Montessori will now be visiting Cooper on Thursday.

Anyone know the South Oldham/Highlands result?

Varsity Highlands 1 South Oldham 0

JV Highlands 2 South Oldham 0

The St. Henry deal is an alumni only event.

First night of soccerrama NCC has a relatively easy time with Dixie and Highlands handles Boone County. Play of the day in the NCC game: Logan Muck throw in off the back of the Dixie defender, retrieves ball and dribbles past rhe defender, drives inro area and curls his shot past the GK and into the side netting at the far post.

Sounds like what Scottie Pippen used to do, buy with an added degree of difficulty.

None of those results sound surprising. I think Dixie and Boone will both struggle this year. Any actual scores to report?

I saw most of the NCC game but didn't catch the score... maybe 4 or 5 for NCC to none for Dixie? NCC has a nice core and look like they enjoy playing together. How well NCC does this fall I think will largely depend on Logan Muck blending goal scorer and facilitator roles. Early on it looks like more of the former and not enough of the latter. Dixie has a couple nice/technical players in Joel Lian (Jr) and Chu (Fr/So?) but they'll need a little more physical presence up top to have success.

 

The second game ended 8-1. Score at half was 6-1. Second half Boone County organized better defensively and Highlands worked on possession, so both teams probably got more benefit from the second half. Boone County's goal came off a very nice shot from #1 (Liam Gillespie?) who can play some. Hard to tell this early if Boone County is any better/worse than last year. They have nice kids and I'm sure Chris Norris will get the most out of them he can.

 

Wish I could see some more of the Soccerrama scrimmages, but I'm out of town for the weekend. Hopefully someone posts some updates.

^ summed up the Boone v Highlands game well.

CCH 4 - South Oldham 0

 

Probably a bit closer than the final score indicates. SO has a quality team but no depth right now.

SO is young (8 sophomores and 1 frosh on Varsity). I'm sure they'll improve as the season progresses - particularly in their back line.

"Closer then the final score"...CCH staff must still be pleased with the performance . Sounds like both teams got something out of this. How did the depth look for CCH? Loosing 18-19 seniors/9-10 starters will have an effect on most every team's depth.

I'd looked at their roster as well and saw the same thing but I'm not sure how many of those guys saw significant action until later in the game. In the first half, I'm not sure that SO subbed at all but if they did, maybe just a couple players. I did see a couple players who played both JV/Varsity. Like I said, a good core and they at times in the first half gave CCH all they wanted but were not able to sustain it.

CCH depth appears to be fine actually. This is a team that will be much better in October than they are in August. Defense was very solid, Griffin Lamb had three goals but the midfield will need to improve.

One of those illegal scrimmages (of the alumni variety) occurred over the weekend at an unnamed school. I'm sending film to KHSAA.

 

Actually, it turns out it was an alumni match. Only alumni and coaches played. So many players there was a rotation to get into the game. Current players were the ball chasers. The worse thing to come out of it was a broken toe. Still, everyone had fun and a few laughs.

 

Good luck to the 2016 Rebels!
