Guess I will get the championship game threads started.
These two played earlier in January at St Louis Showcase. University won 4-0.
That was a long time ago and both teams, I'm sure, are not the same.
Any thoughts?

I like University in this one. I do think the weather may equalize it some, but UHigh is clicking big time right now. Nothing against LCP at all. Could be anyone’s game, but I’m goin with the team from Baton Rouge! UHigh 3 LCP 1

Should be a great match. Loyola is pretty quick as is U Lab, I leaning towards U high in this one. Weather will be a big factor. If played on turf go with the flyers.

Outside of Jesuit St Paul’s, this will be the best final imo. Both teams are solid, versatile and have few weaknesses. I bet if this game was played 10 times, they’d win 5 each.
Watch it now be an 8-0 mercy rule game now I’ve said that.

The first time this season these two teams played Loyola didn’t have three starters including one of there centerbacks and University won 4-0. I think this game will be much different considering how much Loyola has progressed since then so I predict the flyers to win 2-1 in overtime.

Watch it now be an 8-0 mercy rule game now I’ve said that. Don’t sleep on the Lakeshore/HC final. That game will be a great game as well. These two teams know each other well and is always a rivalry. Should be good games throughout all the divisions.

It should be a good match. If Loyola can possess the ball and knock it around, it could give U-High trouble.
U-High is very athletic, physical, and fast. Many people don't like their style of play. But hey, it works. That's the signature of a good coach. Do what works, and stick to it, and Coach Mitchell is a great coach.
I'm torn between who I want to win. I've known Coach Woodham at Loyola since I was a kid, and would love for my North LA brethren to finally bring a championship home. My fellow clubmates were the last North LA team to win the state championship back in 2008 with Caddo Magnet. It's been since 2009 that a team from North LA has even appeared in a State Championship (Captain Shreve vs. Jesuit and Loyola vs. Teurlings).
On the flip side, we lost to U-High on their trip towards the Championship, so it would make feel a tad bit better that the only team throughout the season that we lost to by more than a goal, who knocked us out of the playoffs, was the eventual state champion.
I wish I could make it over to Lafayette to watch!

Will this be U High's first state championship if they win?

Will this be U High's first state championship if they win? I believe so. They've been to 2 , 2009 and 2010, and lost to Newman both times.

Game set to begin shortly.
U-High in all black with white lettering and wording.
Loyola Prep in all white with light blue lettering.
Refs in green tops with black bottoms.
Both benches have nice size also. I am watching from the live stream unless someone wants to report that is in attendance therefor I can not comment on size of crowd.
