As stated, SPS converted on two set pieces and a PK. You may not like the fact losing 3-0 is a butt whooping, but be honest with yourself and know if Jesuit had won by that score you would be calling it the same.

Congrats to Coach Moser and the rest of the staff Great job guys A special shout out to GK Trace Roberts and the Roberts family. Congrats A little back history, his older brother played for the 2015 SPS team which beat Jesuit in the finals by an identical score. His brother was the game MVP scoring 2 goals. Trace did his part tonight keeping a clean sheet with a several beautiful saves. He finished the season conceding a mere 6 goals to in-state competition (1 an own goal from a deflection) and 4 to out-of-state teams (one also being an own goal). Congrats on a great season.

No, I’m not doing any “homework” on your HS soccer message board posts, “bud”. I’m reading the ridiculous, classless comment you just made a few minutes ago about a group of strangers you’re judging from a soccer game. So you jumped to conclusions!👍🏻 Thanks for defining “classless” for us bud. We all appreciate it. 😂 I’m gonna see a shrink tomorrow. Thanks for the words of advice. Haha. You wrote, “I couldn’t care less who wins but I’m starting to see a theme with Jesuit alum/fans/parents. The 2 fouls on Walmsley together were a bit ridiculous. Jesuit is playing physical but 2 hard fouls on one of the best players in the state in the fashion they were in are VERY suspect!” THAT is jumping to conclusions. You wrote the reckless comment, so stop saying “we”. Clarify what you meant or stand behind it. Stop backpedaling. Read more: laprepsoccer.proboards.com/thread/23396/st-paul-3-jesuit#ixzz5gTBMxOoK

Let’s be perfectly clear and honest. Jesuit is no longer “King” of the Louisiana soccer world. It is very difficult for them to handle. I’m not even sure St Pauls should consider it a rivalry. As for the dirty play of jesuit, it is real. Taking the place of good soccer from years ago are a bunch of less talented players who get physicality confused with dirty play. They are two different things. If you aren’t good enough what do you resort to? It starts at the top and works its way to the field. Whine and cry to defend jesuit all you want but every other team and fan (other than Jesuit alumni)in the state says the same thing about Jesuit soccer. Look in the mirror jesuit program and faithful blind followers, I have never seen so much targeting of legs as I have seen from jesuit the last few years. Gallstar called you out for what you are and your feelings get hurt. Own your dirty play jesuit, you aren’t left with much else. Sincerely, everyone else!

Guys--the games over, and the post match "banter" is played out. St Pauls won, the season is now over. Time to let it go and move on.

Jesuit would have given st paul’s Their credit. Coach Hubie never says a game was easy against opponents of that caliber. Jesuit has been on the end of games with bad scores that weren’t very one sided. An example would be the catholic game 3 years ago in the playoffs. Lost 2-0, but jesusuot completely dominated the game.

They played the game and I would not expect one of them to say this on this board. On the other hand, folks from the rest of the Jesuit fan base are who I am implying would be making such a case. You played and are keenly aware of the difference between 1-0, 2-0 and 3-0 games. I would agree the 2015 game was definitely more one sided, but 3-0 in the finals makes a statement.

It is tough to see various reports of Jesuit playing dirty soccer as a former player. There was never a culture of rough play during my time there - playing hard of course, but deliberately hurting players was never encouraged or condoned. I only keep up with games through this site and mostly just during the playoffs. I wasn't there to see the tackles, but when there are multiple people commenting on the egregiousness of the play(s) then it is certainly time to reflect on the state of the program. I was on the team in 2015 when we lost to SPS 3-0 in the finals, and never once did playing rough cross our minds. We were simply outplayed that game as St. Paul's was the better team, so it makes you wonder what has happened over the past four years to lead to the way the Jays are playing now.
I hope current Jesuit players and those who just played their last game take time to reflect on the loss and use it to be better sportsman and men. (Also, please stop rashly replying to people on these threads - it only serves to diminish people's opinion of Jesuit and Jesuit soccer. People have enough reasons to dislike us). If you will be returning as a senior, think about how your leadership on the team impacts your play and success. I trust you that a closer team with solid values will be more meaningful to you in the long run than one that won a state championship.

Referee can and should control any type of dirty play It should not matter the importance of the game I thought could have seen a red during the game. I don’t believe though that Jesuit set out to play dirty. Congratulations to St Paul as well as Jesuit I think they had an undefeated season up until last night.

I have a tough Time believing that it was on purpose and I certainly hope it was just coincidence. Above all else I hope Walmsley is okay.

You understand the value of friendship in both winning and losing. That is a rare commodity in today's environment. To be fair, not all of your fellow Blue Jay soccer players played as it has been reported. Unfortunately one or two can tarnish a good reputation. Your advice is spot on and we all can learn from it. Like you, I hope this style of play is finished, as Jesuit has way too much talent to waste it on this play. Your team played hard to the end, as the Jays did last night. Unfortunately it was not to be.

Most of these players are 16-18, and it can be easy to forget how dumb we were at that age. Just don't want a program that, in my experience, played the game it was supposed to be played.
