First game: 11/21

Episcopal BR 1
Sulphur 1

Episcopal had a good showing -- had quite a few key players out with injury. Sulphur athletic but lacked in technical ability in areas. Episcopal GK made some impressive stops definitely something to be reckoned with.

[Tordad35]

What was the possesion % and Shot count for this game? Any idea?

[soccerfan1978]

I only caught parts of each half but Episcopal dominated posession and with shots on goal....sorry nothing more concrete.

[soccerfan1978]

Parkview Baptist 0
West Feliciana 0

Not much to watch. Ping pong soccer.

[soccerfan1978]

Denham Springs 3
Ponchatoula 0


DS has incredible speed and accuracy. The P keep should be commended for an excellent game she keep them in until the very end...they wore her down.

Good game to watch

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this one SoccerFan. From where I was sitting.
Possession was equal if not tipped to Sulphurs favor.
Most of the game was played with E on defense.
As far as shots, Sulphur also had more, E only had one potentially dangerous shot -the one they made, Sulphurs Goalie easily scooped up the rest without much effort.

Really good soccer at the Walker tournament. Pleasantly surprised. Denham Springs is unbelievable compared to last year. Whatever the coach is doing, keep it up.

[soccerfan1978]

Tormom like I said I only saw parts so you may be correct. I did see the second half of Episcopal BR vs St Michael....no score either team but posession was in E favor. I'm interested to see what happens when their full roster is back. Marvin Smith can do excellent things...they need to be watched for sure.

To all of the teams coaches and players who participated in our tourney this past week, we hope you had a great experience. We want to continue to grow our tournament. We feel that there was some good quality soccer. If there is anything we can do to make the tournament better, we would love to hear from you. Again thank you and best to you on the rest of your season.

It was a great tournament I thought. Well run. Ball retrievers especially at the football field would be nice. Lots of time wasted with players having to chase balls a long ways.
