St. X 3-0. Will be a big mountain for Coach Dyk and the boys to climb, but in one match anything can happen.

Great result for GRC. Sounded like a thriller of a match.

3-3 late in OT.

Town and Country was not available to host all of the matches as they also host NKU, the Cincinnati Kings, and local club teams.

Late August, but you have to go through the general information tab on the KHSAA website to find it.

Here you go Jim. http://www.khsaa.org/soccer/2007/boyspoll.pdf

Some very good matches today. Great job by Dixie Heights hosting and organizing a great day.

Agreed! Although you really find out a lot about yourself and your teammates when you are all in that together. I remember carrying people and being carried to the water cooler or locker room. Many times I thought there would be no way I could come out and do the same training by myself. But because I was out there with other guys that I did not want to let down that you force yourself through it somehow.

three a days... brings back memories from college... also was a great way to keep your team out of trouble too because in the evenings you were so tired all you wanted to do was drink water and go to sleep.

depends on the sport, but near zero IMO in some sports.

A flat 4 offers your goalkeeper LESS protection and increases the chances of having to face 1v1s due to the defensive backline not having depth and being more susceptible to those quicker players you spoke of. A sweeper/stopper system allows your defense to have that depth and force the quicker players to the sideline hence giving you more protection up the middle and more protection for your goalkeeper. Especially when you consider how direct SHA was playing, balls over the top of a flat 4 would have been very difficult to deal with. ALL conditions factor into tactics. If you are disregarding any of them, you are not being thorough. I really do not need to debate tactics because opinions are like elbows we all have them. I think the record of each program speaks for itself. Here is a website that might help you and the other bystanders out... I have not had to go there for quite some time but it might be useful for you. May want to take a look at bullets 6 and 11. http://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tactics_Select_Travel_High_School_Soccer.shtml

Can not speak for NCC, but I know that every player on the HHS roster played in the final game on Sunday, save one who sat the last game after being hit in the head on a free kick in the match earlier in the day. May want to check your info. Not sure about your tactics either. Flat back 4 defense is probably not the style to play on a field where there are 3-4 foot undulations and mounds from one end of the pitch to the other, not to mention 6 inch long clover/weeds. You did get one thing right though, scrimmages are "practice". Winning/Losing starts to matter come August 13th.

I heard this news yesterday. Has it been confirmed that she is out for the season? Truly awful news as I have enjoyed watching and coaching against Katie for the last 3 years. She is an outstanding player and I am sure will be ready to go at Ole Miss in 2008-09.

Agreed. He has done a great deal for soccer in the state of Kentucky!

I have three tickets for this game that I am unable to use. (I have posted this in the advertising forum where it belongs, hardly any traffic there though). Would hate to see them go to waste. Let me know if you are interested.

Those are the usual suspects. NDA, Highlands, and NCC will be at the top of the pack. Brossart, Boone County, Ryle, Holy Cross, and a host of others in the chasing pack. Overall the level of play in NKY is the best in the state on the girls side.
