This tourney should be underway. I wonder if we can get tourney score updates like have been done for tourneys in past years?

From Walker Kickoff classic:

Belaire 4
Ascension Christian 0

Tied 0-0 at half. AC gets a corner and almost knocks it in, but ball is cleared and Belaire runs the length of the field on the counter and scores. AC just lost their wind after that goal and Belaire took advantage of their speed, size, and athleticism advantage. AC's first Varsity match and they gave a good account of themselves in the first half--started 1 7th, 3 8th, and 2 9th graders. Belaire has a lot of guys--I counted 18--and they have lots of speed and athletic ability. They will surprise some folks this year. Game started over 20 minutes late due to Belaire bus breaking down. The later games were going to be at least 30 minutes late. It was very very cold

Denham Springs 6
St. Michael 0

Extremely cold. St. Michael missing 4 starters, including the goalkeeper due to commitments to other sports and illness. Denham presumably missing a few football players as well.

Denham was by far the stronger, faster, and more aggressive team and they relentlessly attacked the inexperienced St. Michael team and were up two in five minutes. Scored a third in the seventeenth minute to make it 3-0 at halftime.

More of the same in the second half. Final score is 6-0. #8 and #7 stood out for Denham.

While still being respectful, I'm not going to sugar-coat anything. That was the worst performance by a St. Michael team in at least five years, and the players are aware that such a level of play will not be sufficient going forward. Denham Springs were excellent and should be a team to watch out for this year. Relentless pressure, and we had no answer to their taller, stronger guys. We only managed one shot on goal in the final minute of the game.

I honestly believe that our starting XI can compete with anyone in this division, but our current lack of depth is obvious and the rest of the guys will have to step up until we get everyone back, which possibly might not come until the first week of December.

Nevertheless, it's better to have a humbling performance like this in the first game of the season than the last, and the boys will have a chance to rebound against Covington on Thursday.
