2015-2016 LHSSCA Week 1 Rankings

November 23, 2015
For immediate press release.
The Louisiana High School Soccer Coaches Association (LHSSCA), conducts this poll. The voting committee consists of ten coaches from each division throughout the state. All inquiries should be directed to www.lhssca.org. Record listed for each team is its official LHSAA record and does not include games against out-of-state teams, JV, or any other non-LHSAA teams. The number in brackets indicates first place votes. Records listed are in American-style W-L-D format. Wins are highlighted in blue, draws are in green, and losses are in red. Games against non-LHSAA opponents are highlighted in pink, as these do not count towards the official record for each team, and are only included for the sake of the coaches' poll.

Please help us fill out teams' missing records.

As always, check for any mistakes. Thanks.

When do power rankings start for this season?

[thebirdstheword]

Hammond high is 1-1-0

Sent from my SM-G900V using proboards

[bluethunder17]

Terrebonne's record is 0-0-2 according to Max Preps

[chelsea007]

Slidell should get some recognition. A 3-2 loss vs Northlake, and a win against Fontainebleau on the way to the Piney Woods tournament championship is a nice start to the season.

I think grace King will make it to state finals this year. They're such a good hard working team guided by Raul Hernandez. This team consists of many key elements to make to state finals. Let's go Irish

Amazing game by grace King against Higgins final score 12-0

So y'all put in 12 before halftime?

[picard]

I find these rankings to be pretty difficult to swallow, honestly. How anyone can rank squads that have no results or no positive results yet is a mystery to me. Rank based on present day performance and what is finite and quantifiable. Rankings shouldn't be based on anything so mysterious as "a talented team" or "what they are capable of". It's that type of favoritism and poor judgment that makes people skeptical about these polls.

Ok. I'll get off of my soapbox now. Have a great Monday everyone.

Pfffftttt..........you should have been there when they put 21 on them a few years back. Talk about a game for the ages. 

Nothing says we're the best like hanging 21 on a team that historically known for being of lesser quality than 99% of DI schools. 

[rora]

MaxPreps has Salmen's record at 0-0-2
11-16 vs Slidell (1-1)
11-19 vs Ponchatoula (1-1)

[bigchief1]

Northshore is 3-1-0.

[warrior16]

Thanks to all of you that have helped us correct the poll information this week. Our job will get easier as more and more teams (hopefully) drop out of the poll, but it will always be important to keep the info accurate so that the weekly coaches' poll reflects the up-to-date progress of each team.

[barnacle13]

Hard to believe Woodlawn isn't even getting votes in its first season in Div II. Solid game against Denham Springs (3-1 loss against #9 D1) and a tie against East Ascension (who is receiving D1 votes). Should put them on someone's radar.

[kahnman]

Woodlawn certainly has some talent. Those who are not voting for them in Div II are those who have not seen them. I am not ready to call them a title contender, but to have them out of the top ten is wrong, and only because they have not been seen by many. They will be there soon.

I think we caught a mistake on the spreadsheet similar to Byrd in preseason poll where a spelling difference made it appear they didn't have votes. It was a technology mistake when the database is transferred to the spreadsheet and the names didn't exactly match.  We fixed it this week.  I am pretty sure they did receive votes the first week?  But can't go back now. Wait till tonight's show, it is def fixed.
