As I said in an earlier post, St. Paul’s was absolutely on the receiving end of a couple of ugly tackles. However, to insinuate that that type of play is breeded within the soccer program at Jesuit is just ridiculous. Jesuit graduated maybe 4 or 5 starters last year, so the bulk of the team from last year’s championship are pretty much the same players. I don’t remember any upheaval like this last year regarding dirty players or dirty play, so please think about what you are typing before you press that done button. Jesuit’s soccer program is very representative of Jesuit High School. Don’t annhilate a program based on the actions of one to two. The majority of the fouls that were committed came from the same player. Two of those fouls (one a yellow card) resulted in goals off of set pieces. Personally, I think the player should have been taken out of the game and not been able to return. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. Perhaps it’s an individual character flaw (just like a player last year) as opposed to throwing an entire team, an entire coaching staff, and an entire program under the bus. I’m not a fan of Hubie; however, I know that a lot of these comments are totally unfounded. And, to even suggest that this type of indefensible behavior is a taught tactic is just disgusting. Roll on 2019-2020.

as far as SPS varsity #s go , I have been dissuaded from cutting seniors for a few years now and so have been carrying a roster of 24 for the last 3-4 seasons. I understand my administration's point about a young man who has been involved in the program for all 4 years ( we like to hold them back their first year to hit the weight room 8 days a week and brainwash their young minds with reels of my training sessions before they hit the field). I actually teach all seniors at St. Pauls (honors and AP gov't) so it an amazingly painful decision, every year. We have at least 10 days of tryouts, every October, with all 8 of our coaches at almost every session (unlike the clubs that chose, Nostradamus-like, after 2 practices.) When I first took over the program in 2010 I definitely trimmed the fat, tried to keep my numbers at 19 -20 tops and busted a hump to get one of the smallest DI schools (at the time) to compete with the big boys... it happened quicker than I thought due to the staff I chose, the quality of my players and the ability to train 20 instead of 40. Peace

and Walmsley update - not broken or ligament tear so 3-4 weeks in a boot and then rehab. He'll miss his recruiting trips to App State and Jacks U but hopefully coaches will understand

This notion that private schools recruit kids all over the state is a bit absurd. Every kid that goes to jesuit, St. Paul’s, brother Martin, Newman, etc is from the local area. They aren’t shipping kids in from around the state and country. If children want to play at a premier program with top quality coaches from the local premier club then that’s there’s and their parents decision. It is a very reasonable decision as well! If I had a son and wanted him to be a great soccer player then you best believe it I’m gonna pick a school that has a great program and great academics but academics firstly. Believe it or not 95% of the time the parents choose these schools based on academics and they just so happen to have incredible soccer programs. There’s no telling a child in 8th grade is going to be an incredible player but you can tell he will get a great education from some of these schools and not so much from others. But in regards to the game, 2-1 St Paul’s!

But in regards to the game, 2-1 St Paul’s! From all outside of their metro areas, yes it’s absurd. But recruiting is alive and well in those schools. I’m sorry...but what schools recruit? St. Paul’s was a fantastic D-II soccer program before Katrina and won quite a few championships. Great academics/great program, not much north shore competition. Post Katrina brought an influx of south shore talent with only one true soccer school to go to. Hence St. Paul being a complete powerhouse now I’m D-I. Jesuit was good in sports besides football, as I understand it, in the 90s and 00s. They were a good place to play soccer, as was brother Martin, in the 2000s. Holy cross really wasn’t at the time. After the latete 00s, early 2010s great Jesuit teams, the campuses of holy cross and BM upgraded and younger talent that moved to the north post Katrina grew up. Now St. Paul’s has a monopoly on the north shore with no real competition whereas Jesuit has BM, Holy Cross, and public schools to compete with. But back to the original point. I still don’t understand where you get that teams recruit kids? Kids go to schools best suited for them and their circumstances. I garuntuee St. Paul doesn’t need to nor has. Nor has the South shore teams have. Maybe public schools do. But I wouldn’t know if that.

Alright, I was trying to stay out of it, but the reason St. Paul’s had so many set pieces is because Jesuit tried to take down the St. Paul’s players whenever they got in space. So yeah, they weren’t going to have one on one’s with the goalie when Jesuit was trying to take out knees and ankles before they could get there. I don’t think it was to injure(I sure as hell hope not.) I just think it was a BS way of trying to play the game. they were not trying to take the St. Paul's players out.They were just going into their tackles hard which is what a defender is taught to do, but if you look at where most of the fouls occur they were not near the box so if they did get past the jesuit player a 1v1 or high percentage shot would most likely not have been the outcome.

Not sure how they could have 41 players on the bench. Not sure if it is a rule or something that got put in the bulletin. I took a look at the handbook and there is no mention of a roster limit for soccer either for the regular season or playoffs. I have never been able to find a roster limit in the handbook. It seems like there is a roster limit for the State Championship games.

Pre- game was pretty interesting on our side of the field bc some J players and staff tried to remove the covering and add additional bench space but the powers that were made them replace it. And then hubie was arguing for a 7:15 kickoff so they had to bring back the powers that were.

Trace Roberts is a senior. Played behind a fabulous keeper Kyle Schmidt and learned a lot. He has grown about 9 inches since the end of his sophomore year and is still growing. Only gave up 10 goals all season, 2 were deflection own goals and 6 were to in-state teams. He gave up more than 1 goal only once this season in SPS loss to Cathedral, 2-1. That's a body of work unmatched.

congrats to coach moser and his very talented soccer team only blemish on game was a very gruesome foul on st paul's captain replay shows it was a UFC type blow to the knee designed to shatter the joint coach hubie has established a pattern of hacking against superior opposition however this type of play has no place in any sport.

Peace Nostradamus? Really? Please tell me what club has the luxury of having 10 days of tryouts? Every club in the state has 2 tryouts as far as I know. I’ve never heard of one that has more.
