West monroe has had a good season ( despite the destruction of them at St freds) leading up to the district games which start tuesday January 11th Vs. ruston..how do you think this and the following matches Vs. ruston and ouachita will go. and how do you think the playoffs will go for WM.

west monroe is a pretty good team..jackson hinton is a good player..they have another guy (i think his name is chad or something like that) and he's pretty good...their goalie is pretty good..he made some outstanding saves against us..we kept firing shots at him but he kept saving them...their defence is ok..they are just kind of fast but that's it...their outside mids are pretty good too...one guy nugent is pretty good...but overall they are a good team

Jackson is a good player when he is on his game. Chad not so much. I play defense so I can't say much about their goalie, but we did score 8 on him. Nugent is pretty decent. They have speed and heart.

West Monroe appears to live or die with defense. They hope to keep the score within one or two and hope for one score. Their scheme is only to keep (usually) one offense player and hope to score with kickball. The ball usually stays on the defensive side of the field for 60 minutes as it is "sent" up to the midfield and it just gets "passed" right back to the other teams offense. WM just does not control the ball for any amount of time. The Ruston team beat them 2-0 with a more spread-passing team. The WM stopper, sweeper and goalie made some very good plays and saved numerous scores - they contained Laz (who is a top player) and it took a great shot from the 30 for one score and another open shot by a Left midfielder for the other. West Monroe took very few shots with Ruston goalie just coming out and getting the long "sends" before the one offensive player could get to it. Not sure what happend in SF, but their defense had several shutouts and all but two or three games the opponents scored two or less goals even with the ball staying on their end 80% of the time. The defense seems to touch the ball more than their offense does. I agree with the SF player, they do play with heart.

As for LAZ is he a junior or senior. Does he have any college offers and what club team does he play for. I played with his brother a couple years ago and LAZ was SFC. I thought he moved to Jackson though.

i think west monroe has had a pretty good season so far, and although the embarrsing lost against St. Freds and losing to Ruston, i think they will bounce back up like they've done all season

What about Neville being such a bad team. What does that say about the Rebels

I'm not one to make excuses but in all fairness WM was down 4 starters and did control most of the game.... just couldnt get lucky and kept putting shots just wide...

West Monroe beat Ouachita 3 to 2 in the 2nd OT. Played a more passing control offense than they had all year, especially in the first half. #7 their stopper was very aggressive and actually took several shots from the 35 or 40 and came close several times, but if nothing else make Ouachita think about it and their F had to play back a little. #11 did a very good job of trapping and moving the ball. They seemed to have a mini triangle going between #7,#11, and #16 several times that controlled the ball. They went up 2-0, before they went back to more of a kickball offensive approach in the second half and allowed one great shot by #15, and one defense mixup when the goalie and a defender ran together leaving the ball sitting on the 10 with no one in the goal - when #15 just tapped it in. The big thing was the vast improvement of Ouachita. They were not very good for several years, but got beat in 2 to 1 on a shootout with Ruston. They were very capable of winning both games. Their goalie played a great game saving at least 5 good shots. The three goals scored was on a head ball by #11, a super follow up kick off a Ouachita player by #16, and a followup "junk" score by #21 - #21 always seems to be in the right place at the right time. #15 for Ouachita seemed to be a dominant skilled player. This was a very fun, hard played, clean, action packed game. Maybe not the skilled play of the south La teams, but the effort by BOTH teams was great.

i know hes a senior but thats all i know Laz is a senior at Ruston High - very good player, but a little surprised that he is played about as much defense as he did offense the last game I saw him play.

Sorry spanky, you have gone to far now. Ruston and West Monroe may not be as good as SF or Capt. Shreve (not sure haven't seen them play), but Carroll has just started playing soccer and I have seen their results in the newspaper sometimes. I assume you are from River Oaks and surprised at your attitude and some of your statements. Show some class like sfdefense does, if that's possible for you. Until your team actually plays SF or WM or even Carroll for that matter, you should stick to talking about your team, not talking about something you have absolutely no knowledge of. I very seriously doubt you have ever even attended a public school game, probably because you think it is below you. Trust me - it are not.

I can guarentee you that River Oaks is nowhere as good as Captain Shreve or Caddo Magnet or a host of other teams, I have seen all of them play I can say for a fact its not even close. their are worlds of difference in talent between those teams and River Oaks, as far as St. Freds, they are good, but not good enough to beat CS or Mangnet, they could keep it close but lack of premier plays and depth of talent would catch up with them. Wm hard to figure out, they have the potential to play quality soccer and then they will turn around and play long ball, hard to figure them out, when they play to feet and make runs they play well and when they revert back to the Monroe style of play for 5a that is, then they aren't really any better than any of the teams they face. Of course their coach is a good coach and I am sure he will continue get the best out of them. Barron that is.

This must be a WM player who posted the poll. First, the question is based on a faulty presumption that WM will make the playoffs. Second, "elaborating" is not exactly an answer to the polled question. Finally, why have a "we'll see" answer? Isn't it pretty much a given that we will have to see how they do in district play or the playoffs, if they make it that far (highly unlikely)?
We should be thankful that schools like WM are holding our children to such high educational standards. Come to think of it, as seen by the St. Fred's debacle, it looks like the soccer standard and the education standard are one and the same.

well since i used 2 go 2 a public school and play for a public school, it would be almost impossible to have not gone 2 a public school game. and the carrol remark, that was called sarcasism. yea. and river oaks isnt as good as st. freds or anywhere near CS or magnet. i play w/ some of the guys from CS and magnet on a team in shreveport. so i would no. river oaks could be good if the attitudes and constant bad mouthing of own players could stop. but it wont becuz of the pricks that go to the school. so yea.
