Thanks for putting that out there, CWB.

Good luck to all the teams.

Some interesting first round matchups. Holy Cross @ St Henry is one to watch. St Henry in most home games has a huge advantage given the natural grass field and how they leave it very long on game days. Since HC also plays their home games on natural, very long grass also, this should reduce the home field advantage St Henry enjoys against a lot of opponents.

 

Nice touch by NDA and CCH for scheduling the double header on Monday @ CCH. And to St Henry for doing the same at their place. Should help attract larger crowds and a great atmosphere @CCH and St Henry!

 

Weather prediction looks perfect for regional soccer matches. Get out and support your teams(s) in large numbers.

I wish that Highlands would have done the same thing.

Probably scheduled that way to help the assigner as the number of eligible refs reduces quite a bit for regionals.

Which are you referring to? Matches at St Henry and CCH, or the one at HHS?

That is asking a lot. The athletic director is overworked and underpaid

All the more reason to have both contests on the same night.

Based on what I heard, not sure it had anything to do with helping the assigner, if it does that's a bonus. NDA can not host at their place due to no lights, so they had to move their first round game to another venue. In years past they rented Dixie HS. Not sure how NDA and CCH are handling the arrangement, such as rent free to NDA in exchange CCH gets the gate and concession, etc. And I would certainly expect one admission gets you both games, which helps attract a larger crowd for both games. My hats off to both CCH and NDA for putting this together for the good all of the players and their supporters.

 

If the AD at HHS is overworked and underpaid, are all HS ADs overworked and underpaid? Or are there specifics reasons to say the HHS AD is overworked and underpaid? If this is the case at HHS, post #9 makes a ton of sense.

One time $6 adults/$4 children admission gets you into the girls NCC Vs NDA game tonight at 6PM @ CCH, followed by the boys Dixie Vs CCH game tonight at 8PM, also @ CCH.

Especially now that CovCath gets an extra day of rest on the winner of the Highlands/Cooper game
