St. Louis vs Lafayette High ( Scrimmage)

[soccertime22]

i think they are missing a few players.. i no one who plays left wing was out cause of suffering a concussion but im not sure for how long and a few kids where hurt but still playing.. both teams played well st louis just finished

65% of the possession? Definitely not. LHS is simply too direct of a team, it's constantly press press press to goal. No patience, but there is composure on the ball. LHS shows promise and as the year progresses, if they gel, they will definitely contend for state.

And as for St Louis' style of play, flick and run is almost ideal with their 2 big, strong, fast forwards. I would do the same thing.

first two goals were from through balls to wings who laid good balls on the ground back across the six for easy finishes. third goal was a good through ball pass from midfield to a forward who ran on where goalie slid out and hit it to about top of 18 where lapira chipped it into back post. wouldnt call them bad goals. especially since lafayettes goal took a large deflection off of stls sweepers back. im not saying it wouldnt of gone in but it didnt look that threatening until it hit his back

both teams played well though and both had their fair chances

[truthhurts]

St Louis looked to be solid and ready for the challenge. LHS has some work to do but i did see some good things that will make them still a contender.

who are these stud forwards i keep hearing about for st. louis?

[mhesterly]

Michael Lapira and J. Young - Young is the tall strong fast one. Michael is more finesse, you can't give him time and space to play a balls or he will beat you.
