Caddo Magnet 3 Parkway 0

[CaddoMagnet]

In the Semifinals of the Shreve Cup, Magnet outplayed fellow Shreveport team, Parkway. Caddo Magnet dominated from the first whistle, and had an early goal by Laura Williamson. Before this goal, Laura Williamson had a penalty kick, but the Parkway goalie made a great save. Center-midfielder, Suzanne Dale was fouled and when she kicked it off, the ball found its way into the goal. It was a very surprising, but well positioned shot. Nearing the final whistle, Jacquelyn Broussard was passed the ball, and with an open net, she had an easy time scoring. Caddo Magnet will played Captain Shreve in the finals at 7:00pm(12/07/02, Shreveport, Caddo Stadium).

although magnet did play a good game, i think it's a far fetched idea that they dominated from the first whistle. parkway played a good game and shut down some magnet plays a number of times.

[CaddoMagnet]

I'll agree, for the first 5-10 minutes, Parkway's game was at its best. After Laura Williamsons first goal, Caddo Magnet seemed to dominate the game.

[soccerwatcher]

i saw two of those goals, and they were high floating balls. a good keeper would save those any day.

[reccosoccer]

the keeper in that game played wonderfully even though she had a pulled groin muscle. she never stopped playing and no one knew that she was hurt until after the game. and she did make an awesome save on a pk. can you do better?

[soccerwatcher]

hey, if she was hurt then she was hurt. that could be the reasno why she couldn't save those shots. don't take things so personally. not everyone will always see things your way, remember that.

I would like to add a few comments, I was the ref in the center for the game. As to the comments that Magnet dominated they game, I disagree and I ought to know I was in the middle. Magnet without a doubt had the better skill and better passing, but they did not dominate, parkway had some chances to push the ball up the field and they did, problem with parkway, is that they could not consistently put together more than 3 to 4 passes on offense. I will say that I think parkway is a better team to some extent with out Rachel Alexzander than with her, because the other players don't rely on her to do all the work they actively attak the opposing goal. Hopefully when she gets back they work together more. OH and another think the goals that were scored, two of them were goals that if the keeper had proper technice and positioning then she would have made the save. But this is not uncommon for most Girls soccer teams that the goalie doesn't get as much training as the other players.

i'm glad that someone finally will speak out and tell what is actually going on. everybody needs to look at what is actually going on and not try to hype up their teams.

[CaddoMagnet]

That is part of the game. You said it yourself, Parkway didn't have a good goalie. That is why Caddo Magnet dominated. It is the fault of Parkway. There goalie wasn't trained, she was hurt, they couldnt pass well..i'm sorry but that is part of soccer. Parkway didn't have a good team, and Caddo Magnet dominated. The score was 3-0 and the Parkway goalie seemed to be quite busy. Domination, i think so.

[centerReff]

Ok well I have played many years of soccer including college level and some pro. Caddo Magnet didn't dominate, that game, to dominate would mean that they basically controlled every aspect of the game and consistenly put in more goals, they didn't controll every aspect of the game, Caddo magnet had trouble against parkway, when parkway attacked them by streching the field of play by going vertical instead of horizontal, against a more skilled opponnet with speed Caddo magnet backline is going to be in trouble, because they are slow, but because they are skilled they can make up for it . But against a more aggressive, smarter, skilled group of players they are in trouble. Caddo Magnet, didn't dominate, they just captialized on their chances , but to say they dominated would be to say they had thier way with Parkway and thats not the case. Parkway, put up a good fight and played hard, and I will say this against a good goalie magnet would have not scored those three goals, they were mishandles by the keeper and she had bad form. the goals they scored were floaters or just soft shots that if the keeper had been in the right position the goal would never have happened.

[CaddoMagnet]

But the goalie wasn't in the right position, was she? And Magnet scored, didn't they? You just said Caddo Magnet has skilled players and scored on crappy shots. Domination. They outplayed Parkway, they scored on parkway(whether their goalie was good or not). Domination doesn't mean 10-0, and Caddo Magnet did outplay them. I was sitting there watching, and I saw every aspect of the game. And, by the way, you were a terrible ref.

[#19]

Hey, CaddoMagnet, that doesn't narrow it down very much. We have had bad refs for just about all of the games we've played this year. As a CABOSA ref, I find it hard to understand how these same people that ref high school in the winter can sit up at the front of the meetings during CABOSA season and ram down our throats that you have to do this and that and keep control and etc., but then during school games let the game just completely go. At our district game against Neville, the refs let so many fouls go uncalled that the game got so out of hand that one of our players got his leg broken, and we didn't even get a call for that. Mr. college and pro, this kid cant play for the rest of this year, and who knows after that? How's that for good reffing?

[CaddoMagnet]

Why "centerref"? Tell me, why don't you make all your calls. Because, i know there are times on the field when you want too, but you just don't. Give everyone an explanation, Why?!

[soccerwatcher]

hey, refs are human too. but they do suck. finally, something we ALL agree on!

[watchingyoucaddomagnet]

Caddo Magnet... this forum is not all intended for your trash talk. The refs play an important part of our game and if you have never played it ( which you probably have not) You should have been taught to respect the referees. To make a comment that the ref was terrible directly to him is very disrespectful. I am sure your Principal would not be very proud of someone representing Caddo Magnet in such a manner. Is she aware of this site? If she isn't I am sure she would be very displeased. Hey don't you guys have some kind of Honor code? If you are the top students in the parish, why don't you start acting like maybe you have some class too!

[NoWOMANNOCRY]

CADDOMAGNET quit being rude... you can do better! First U R not a ref, because refs don't bash refs - remember "all decisions are final" right or wrong! This board is about the game and players (last time I 've checked u were not or have been a soccer playa). You obviously know veery little about soccer...to be involved with the team! JUST BEHAVE !:-(

Hey CaddoMagnet, I find that funny considering Coach Orta, oh yes you know who I am talking about didn't I am his friend, he didn't think that, heck I know they guy played with him in Club. If I was bad then he would have told me believe , because thats the way he is . If your such a great ref then maybe you ought to ref because God knows there are such bad refs, problem is most of you people don't fully understand the rules and you makes judgements.By the way I am not from Cabosa, I trained in Virgina and North Carolina, where real soccer is played at a very competetive level, so people on here get your facts straight about me.Secondly, you have the nerve to get on her and tell me I reff bad, thats really funny, because I doubt you have ever stepped foot on a competitive soccer field. You have to realize that , at this level, what you consider a foul in rec ball is not a foul here or it is not called because of the nature of style of play. personaly I am not one for blowing the whistle unless its something that is major. These kids have no concept of how physical this game is, those who do play at the next level will learn, and learn quickly that alot of things will not be called. Also when they go down south and get beat up and down the field because of rough play, those players need to play physical. I am all for it, to a certain extent. playing the ball and being rough is one thing playing the man is a completely different. Before you get on here and blast me, why don't you get yourself down to a competitive game and ref it, see how you do. I seriously doubt you get half the calls correct.

[centerReff]

OH CaddoMagnet, I know who you are now, your the idiot that was screaming advantage at the midfield line. when I called a foul, lol, that was funny, maybe if you got a rulebook out and read you would realize advantage is only going to be in your attacking third. second at this level you might have one advantage call the whole game, and thats a maybe. OH and by the way you ever watch college soccer, maybe you ought to see how the women play, the play rough, actually sometimes worse then the guys. at to Number 19 I would say that is a ashame that one of your players broke a leg, but I am not from cabosa and i don't know what they tell you , and if you say it was that bad, then I would say that maybe the game got out of hand, I dont know I wasnt' there.

[CaddoMagnet]

I'm not saying he was a terrible ref, and it did come off in that manner because I said it verbatim. I was angry at some of the things he said, and he did make some bad calls, but that's his job, not mine. You're right, I have no right to criticize that and I apologize. They make the game what they are. Yes, I've played for ten years. It's just the ref can make you angry sometimes, and I'm sure you have felt the same way.

[CaddoMagnet]

I apologized, but i'm just curious..i called advantage at the midfield line?
