Daviess County Is The 2016 Boys Soccer State Champion

[frankdracman23]

Well no one has come up with a better way either. Soccer can't just play until they have a winner, it's a much more endurance based sport than most others that use that method. And if you start pulling players then you just have the reverse problem of PKs which players DONT you trust to play the game.

 

Soccer CAN play OTs until they determine a winner they just choose not to do it. The endurance argument is not a good one because you cannot tell me at the end of two 5 minutes OTs that the kids have played to exhaustion. Would a 20 minute OT followed by another 20 minute OT if needed really not be a better way to determine a State Champ? Why not start there? If basketball go unlimited OTs and football can go unlimited OTs I see no reason why after two 5 minute OTs they have to go to PKs.

But you still just can't play until you have a score, that could take hours. A full soccer match is already over an hour and they often end scoreless. The reason other sports play OT is because the likelihood of ties after the OTs is so remote. With soccer that isn't the case.

It like trying to explain the excitement of Curling to non sports fans. Sometimes you just have to give up.

I have never given up while curling... however... I have passed out from it.

 

BTW... It was great seeing you Saturday.

I believe that has something to do with that "Registered User" title under your username. Or more specifically, the lack of a "Premium Member" title.

[Oldtimebaseball84]

Oh...,so I will just type "like"

Yes, but those hardy Ohio Boys and Girls can somehow play 30 more minutes and KY Boys and Girls can only do 10??? Why can't KY do 30 minutes? That's should be a start. If you left it up to the players when the regular time ends in a tie.......hey do you want to go to PKs now, do you want to play up to two 5 minute OTs before PKs, or do you want to play up to two 15 minute OTs before PKs, or do you want to play OTs until we have a winner? Which do you think the players would elect?

[Oldtimebaseball84]

Not arguing one way or another.......was just wondering what happened next in Ohio....

Kentucky used to have a longer overtime period. About 6 or 7 years ago they reduced it to what it is now. My understanding is that the KHSAA wants the overtime period to be the same in the play-offs as the regular season. They felt 30 minutes was too long on a school night when many games don't start until 8 pm, and outside the 3 main areas many teams have to travel an hour or two to get to there district and regional games. Thus why we have what we have.

The Daviess County soccer team stopped by the Eyewitness News studio to chat about their state championship.

 

The Panthers defeated Covington Catholic in penalty kicks to claim the first state title in school history on Saturday night.

He was onside when the ball was played and still in an onside position for at least half of the flight of the ball. CC defenders knew he was onside, I have zero doubt. But bad calls happen. This would have been a much bigger story (duh) had CC won it in PKs.

But wait, I thought Theoldguy said there's no if's and's or butts that the player was offside. How could he have been onside then?
