Ok, I'm crazy for getting here this early! Not to mention it's on the brisk side...

Capt. Shreve vs. St. Paul's at Hunter Stadium starts at 8:04 with about 15-20 ppl in attendance...and the bright morning sun blinding us in our eyes!

The first game of the tournament has just begun at Hunter Stadium.

Sounds like a great day for soccer! Wish I was there instead of at WORK!
Good Luck to all!

#7 for SPS hits shot to keeper but #20 for Shreve deflects the ball right over the keepers head. Nothing could be done by keeper.

SPS-1
Shreve-0
6.5 left in half

[M Unit]

35min halfs, so at halftime:

Capt. Shreve 0-1 St. Paul's

[M Unit]

Don't think Shreve has had even 1 shot on goal 1st half. Possession mostly controlled by St. Paul's.

Baton Rouge High arrived towards the end of 1st half & watched a bit of the match. Now, after gearing up, heading over to practice field at half to warm up for match against St. Martin's at 9:40.

Over at CYSA:

-All of the playing fields (6) are set up to be played on so if those other fields can dry out it may not be to bad out here.
-Feilds are wet but not holding standing water from what I can see.
-Road at CYSA is red mud and is very sloppy.

St. Martin's just arrived at Hunter Sradium w/21.5 min left in 2nd half.

SPS just had a decent shot from left that went just right of goal. His buddy didn't get there in time for the tap in off cross/shot.

19.5 min left a SPS player takes shot from right that gets past diving GK. 2-0.

Then a min later, another SPS shot directly at GK who handles it.

16 min left, SPS is handling match pretty well. Drew takes a shot for SPS that's just wide left of goal. A min later another shot. Shreve's GK making dangerous choices...

2-0 in 2nd.

SPS has had I think 4 more shot opps that they just aren't capitalizing on. One was a weak toe poke that likely would have gone in if he had put more umph on it. Another from right side I believe deflected off somebody then skimmed off bottom left goal post out of bounds...

Shreve finally had 1st legit shot on goal. Had 3 other shots but not on goal.

Final Shreve 0-2 St. Paul's.

After hauling butt over to CYSA fields, got here just in time to see the Northlake Christian (NCS) vs Brother Martin (BM) match kick off just after 9:40, followed a min or 2 later Jesuit (JHS) vs. Country Day (CD) kickoff.

NCS scored a goal in less than 2 min of start of match. Just kidding - w/much controversy, it was called offsides!

Both matches at 0-0. Much more colder & windier out here in the wide open fields of the outback!

JHS #17 scores easy open net goal off of cross from right side.

JHS 1-0 CD; NCS 0-0 BM

M Unit

[M Unit]

NCS GK had 2 great saves already - looking good so far today!

M

[M Unit]

NCS GK with yet another excellent diving 1-hand save to right. Incredible!

Meanwhile, while typing the above, JHS scores its 2nd goal somehow.

JHS 2-0 CD; NCS 0-0 BM in 1st half.

M

[M Unit]

BM scores goal past NCS gk who came out to collect it but dude gets it past him.

JHS 2-0 CD; NCS 0-1 BM

M

[M Unit]

BM scores 2nd goal off rocket w/def paralyzed. Sweet shot!

Both matches now 2-0 in 1st half.

[M Unit]

NCS had what appeared to be a great opp right outside box, but unfortunately BM #3 decides to ruin by taking him out. He earned himself a YC of course. NCS couldn't convert free kick that sailed over crossbar.

Halftime for both: JHS & BM both up over CD & NCS 2-0.

M

[M Unit]

BM taking breather at half against NCS.

M

[M Unit]

In 2nd half, still 2-0 for both matches.

BM just had great shot from right that NCS gk made great diving deflect save!
