Chubb's Wood Hand

Wow, have to admit I was wrong about this one. Congrats to Cov Cath on a big win.

I think the dark umbrella appeared a couple years ago...

I'll take Madison Central in this one. They play a fast and very physical game which I don't think Cov Cath will be able to handle. Madison Central 3 - CCH 1

A player for Cooper was able to start the game apparently, with unauthorized shin guards. About 3-5 min in, play was stopped, the player was seen leaving the field and changing his shin guards. A long discussion ensued and ended with the Cooper coach getting a yellow. My question is, isn't the ref supposed to check cleats and other equipment before the game?

Despite the center ref's best efforts, Cooper was able to win. It all started with shinguard gate and followed up with a 50/50 ball, seemingly good tackle and a player being carded for getting to the ball too fast.

Final from Union

Their last meeting was in Regionals where Cooper got stomped. Now with the new assistant at Cooper, can they do any better or is NCC going to dominate again?

SK should win this match by 3 goals as long as they stay composed and don't retaliate.

In honor of how this all got started.... I believe that is a dead thoroughbred.

A PK?? I have to ask. Did the keeper take the PK?

Yes. YOTPK! AND.... it is now a requirement to report if the keeper took it.

Did the goalie take any of the PK's?

I think Calvary is going to be pretty good this year. They have quite a few skilled quality players coming up. My money is on Calvary.

Great, here we go again...

Looks like a pretty rough start for Beechwood. Is this just the growing pains of a new program? I would expect Conner to win with the Striker they have but a result of 9-0 doesn't leave much room for optimism.
