I hate to say this, but it's obvious that some coaches in DIII are not well informed. West Feliciana should not be listed in Top 10 after losing to unranked Christian Life and Parkview. (laprepsoccer poll is correct). Episcopal should not have received any vote after the record of 5-8-1, losing 0-5 or 0-6 to many (not so great) teams. (laprepsoccer poll is correct, again). EHS had three votes two weeks ago (!) and zero last week. Since then, they lost to University 0-5 and gained a vote.  I am not bashing these teams, by the way. I am glad W. Feliciana is quite strong this year (though somewhat inconsistent), and I wish EHS were better as they were in the past several years. I am just questioning the poll.  |

well i have noticed in the past that a team use to get a vote every poll... Never received 2 votes, but always got 1!!.. Is it because a person favorited them so they always put them at the #10 spot to get them mentioned, I don't know...
What I do know that these people have ties with schools (graduated, hated, played with, etc.) So they may hold a small grudge against them even if they don't think so... Because when they here that name they tend to think, they play dirty or, they always sucked, etc.
I am not bashing the coaches who do the polls, we all do this naturally.. For instance, goat favors acadiana, but he knows that and will admit that... Hdjk also favors acadiana, but thats natural because thats who they pull for, it usually evens out though because every1 favors like this which makes the poll's even.....

With Comeaux losing to Carencro and if they can't turn it around....and if St. Amant can put together a couple of good wins against Woodlawn and Baton Rouge High then they should be looked at again for the #10 spot.
It think both teams hold that destiny in their hands with their porformance in the next couple of games.

No love for Caddo Magnet? Beating Shreve, Tying Mandy and Newman... (6-0) in district, winning a tournament... I know we dont have that much competition like D1D3 and ya know like down south but c'mon, we're 10-1-2, that's decent enough... I guess we wont be able to prove ourselves til playoffs...

Caddo is certainly deserving in my book. I think Comeaux is a goner for a while now. Two losses, 10 goals against is an ugly week. They are a good team, and they will bounce back, but time to give Caddo their just due.

Keep in mind this poll was not made until Tuesday afternoon, before alot of the games y'all are referring to were played. Also the coahes who vote seem to be about 3 or 4 days behind on there information.
Remeber, they are most concerned about their practice and upcoming games. Most of them do this because they are committed to the promotion of high school soccer, but may not be as informed as many of you are. Most of the coaches are aware of the teams quality in their region of the state and what they see at tournaments.
