Anderson dominated from the opening whistle and were helped by an own goal. They were very strong in the back so the goalie was not tested (mentioned in prediction thread as a possible weak link). Very organized and good skills.

Not possible, absolutely is a weak link, but you're right, their back 4 are outstanding. Anderson pulled starters at half. Their coaches expected a battle tonight and were really surprised at what opposition they got. I, for one, thought Ryle had a chance to be very competitive in this one.

 

Amazing that Anderson was a dumpster fire 3 or 4 years ago under a previous coach. Their junior class is very good.

 

How did their striker Kelley play?

Was Anderson up 3-0 at the half? Pulling starters at the half and still dominating the game?

Was Anderson up 3-0 at the half?

Yes.

So, obviously Anderson is pretty good if they had an easy time with Ryle, who was only beaten 1-0 by Moeller. Time will tell where they fit in the N. Ky. landscape.

Hard to know the full extent of any game without seeing it in person. But from reading post about both Anderson and Ryle, my take is both of their strengths are their defense. Really surprises me to learn Anderson scores 3 goals in the first half then plays their bench the second half and cruses to an easy win. Could have just been "one of those games" for Ryle. As mentioned above "time will tell where they fit in the NKY landscape. I still lean towards Ryle, CCH, St Henry and maybe one more team will be the teams to beat come October.
