This blog might be a nicer place if people spent a little more time talking or "bragging" about the good things and a little less time talking down about other people's kids or teams.

I can call them like I see them as well!

The CCH defense deserves to have their shutout streak ended as they need to learn how to play without fouling the best shooter on a team. You have some real resentment issues towards a 17 year old kid...I wonder who you will focus all this hate towards next year? If you are looking for him you can find him at Marshall. Have a nice night.

Gift/Flop...what a joke the only gift I saw given was your player only getting a yellow for taking Morgan out as he was headed to goal at the end of the game. It really bothers you that much that Morgan scored on your team. :no: Especially after an 8 to 1 win. You are a piece of work. As for the rest of the CCH faithful I wish you all the best of luck with the rest of your season.

OTB Devin decided he couldn't play GK if you weren't going to be here to watch.... CCH up 4 to 1 at half...Eagles goal scored by Morgan...that's all I have for you. After all I am Devin's mom

Too bad you are going to miss Devin's debut in goal

:ohbrother: now everyone knows!

Oh my goodness I would never wish to be as famous as OTB!

Not "touchy" at all, just stating a fact. I have never made an effort to hide behind a code name. I would say anything I say on here directly to anyone that wants to ask but to each his own.

I am his mom and have said so before....thought everyone was already aware of this fact...and your point is?

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to get into everything. I will try to dig back into this later. I did want to address a couple things. While I appreciate stepovers love for the Eagles a few of their statements are incorrect. The score ended 7 to 0. There was only about 5 minutes left to play we really don't know the exact time as no clock was viewable and the AR would not respond when asked. I personally would have finished it out but I was not in the conversation that the two coaches had together prior to the decision being made. Unfortunately player safety was an issue. It is a real shame when a few players verbally threaten physical harm to a player on the opposing team especially when the team making the threats is winning 4 to 0 at the time. I do not believe any NKY team would do this. Baring this, Oldham County is a quality team and there is not a scenario where I think the Eagle's would have come out ahead of this one with the overall talent level we are at this year.

The eagles came out slow and West Jessamine scored in the first 5 min. WJ second goal was actually an own goal. Scott''s defense which struggles anyway is missing our starting center back due to ACT test day. Scott''s first goal was actually scored by Hegerty off an excellent cross from Morgan that scimmed the goal mouth right to Hegerty''s foot for the touch in. Second goal for Scott was a PK that was awarded to Morgan and buried. Morgan was man marked heavily the whole game and was brought down in the box by 3 WJ players to earn the PK.

The Thursday game against Scott Eagles....I don't know why. Maybe yellow card can shine some light on it?

It was on the schedule that Scott HS was to play Cooper at Cooper on Thursday...we were told that the game might be moved to Wed. Then today we were told that it has been cancelled...we (Scott parents) have not been given a reason.

I was just told that the Scott VS Cooper game has been cancelled

Final

Eagles up 1 to 0 at half. Good clean game so far both teams playing well.

http://www.highschoolsoccerallamerican.com/2015/ I have never heard of this before but just found out that Morgan was placed on the watch list for the West. Kentucky: F: Ricky Clemente - Lexington Dunbar MF: Greg Fischer - Trinity MF: Colin Kremer - St. Xavier F: Aime Mabika - Henry Clay MF: Nolan Mattingly - Daviess County F: Tucker Monheimer - Ballard MF: Collin Rose - Henry Clay MF: Devin Morgan - Scott MF: Trent Stigler - St. Xavier Ohio: F: Daniel Branch - Revere High F: Christopher Brennan - Copley High MF/F: Bryce Curran - Mason High MF: Lawrence Karpeh - St. Ignatius D: Hunter Gordon - St. Ignatius MF: Brandon Mount - Mansfield Chr. MF: Antonio Romanelli - St. F DeSales F: Joey Sabato - Cincinnati Elder F/MF: Emmanuel Sabbi - Westerville South D: Gary Zhao - Mason High I just listed KY and OH but the full lists can be seen at the link above.

No surprise to anyone that I don't completely agree with your opinion. As far as tricks and skill go, I believe they are both very technically gifted players. As for finesse I agree that Day has the edge on Morgan. As far as athletism goes I disagree with you, I too have watched them both and believe that they are pretty equal on this front as well. Morgan has incredible strength on and off the ball which is where I believe he has the edge over Day. When it all comes out in the wash they are both extremely gifted at exploiting their strengths on the field and therefore are both excellent players with different styles. They compliment each other when they are team mates and I know that they both admire and respect each other for their strengths.

I just saw this article: Colonels up to the Ninth Region challenge Marc Hardin, prepsports@enquirer.com 10:12 p.m. EDT August 13, 2015 Players To Watch •Bryce Day, Covington Catholic: All-around standout registered six goals and five assists as a junior •Nathan Roe, Ryle: Two-time first-team all-region defender as a shutdown sweeper. •Devin Morgan, Scott: Senior scored 16 goals and recorded a team-high 24 assists for the state runner-up. •Adam Snow, Cooper: Junior forward was named all-state honorable mention last season. •Charlie Wend, Conner: Senior midfielder scored 15 goals and had five assists in 2014. Looks like a good start for a top 10 list to me.

This game is set up like a cross-town shoot out between the two schools, there is a traveling trophy sponsored by ISC therefore a winner is required. There is no overtime the game just goes straight to PK's.

We did have one starting defender out with a concussion but other than that the "regular" rotation was playing...to be honest given our numbers there really isn't much of an option in that regard. Scott's coach did try a different formation that obviously didn't work for our team. Live and learn. There was one thing interesting that happened in the game that no one has mentioned. At one point in the second half, Hegerty was driving into the box when two defenders moved towards him. Hegerty fell to the ground and the CR blew his whistle motioned for a PK and carded a Calvary player (would have been his second yellow). Hegerty said that the kid didn't touch him, he tripped and fell on his own. The CR reversed the call. I commend Hegerty for his sportsmanship and honesty in this situation especially considering the flak he has gotten in the past for getting an occasional card himself. I have never in all my years watching HS, club, or college soccer seen a CR change a call based on something a player says.

The new AD at Scott is Bill Schwartz; he is also the head swim coach for Scott.
