Soccer WINS!!! direct style will get you there but cant get over the humpyou need to play Joga Bonita to beat a soccer team like Newman....like I called it ..Newman wins....but the U scored..i picked 2-0..was close.....and Mason will be the MVP of the STate also.....congrats to coach Matt and the rest of the Newman squad....back to back... Sorry dude but soccer did not win, Newman did. Newman dominated the first 15 minutes and uhigh dominated the next 65. Uhigh kept steady pressure throughout the entire second half causing newman to just boot the ball up feild to their forwards. Newman played just as much direct soccer as University did but the only difference is that they finished off of their oppurtunities.

By the way ... for consistancy, I tend to favor the two-field ref system over the one-field, two linesmen system.
MVP definitely Newman's keeper.

U-High fans who are blaming the loss on the refs,
If you continue to do this, your posts will be deleted and accounts suspended.

Does anyone know where you can find the highlight videos of this game? I think one of the Shreveport guys recorded the game. At least that's what happened last year.

Are there really U High fans blaming the loss on the refs? I've seen two references to posts you've removed. I don't think anyone at that game blames refs for the loss. Your post leaves the impression that it is indeed the case that we "blame" the refs. Is there anyone out there that believes a ref will have position on EVERY call, or get EVERY call right? I think we're all a little more grown up than that. I've seen posts all over this forum that allude to "rough", "ugly", even "foul" play by particular players (numbers, sometimes names, given). Why is this the thread that seems to require censorship?

MVP definitely Newman's keeper. This. Kid was clutch. Had to endure all kinds of pressure and free kicks and corners and was nearly perfect. Aside from him, #23 I think and #13 in the back played solid defense...Scoggins leg came in handy getting that ball out under pressure on many occasions. As far as the referee issue, seeing as I'm the Only Uhigh supporter who has posted about them thus far, I'm going to assume Timaeus' post is mostly directed toward me. Which is confusing, because in no way, shape or form did I say rhe ref won or lost the game. Regardless of the level of missed calls and such any of us might believe there was, I don't think anyone of any opinion would say that the game was drtermined by them and not the players. Both teams had opportunities. Newman finished, Uhigh didn't. Good or bad, refs didn't put the goals in the back of the net, or block a PK, etc etc. I understand the caution about people posting regarding the referees, but come on no ones suggesting that was the reason for the loss. Great game, and I don't think anyone posting is trying to turn it into an argument about refereeing.

Just saying, if I were an admin, I'd be more concerned with the "Hey Jesuit" thread than this one.

Congratulations to both teams. Even with the heavy losses from last year's teams, y'all were the two best D3 teams all year. Tremendous coaching jobs from both staffs, particularly Coach Mitchell for what he did with his personnel over the last two years.
To the Newman seniors, and especially Neveau, Scoggins and Burlingame, what a 4 your run. Semis, finals, and then back to back. Well done.

I've deleted at least 10 posts from University whiners who blamed the loss on the referee. Alrightythen, the post was not directed at you, but those who took cheap shots at the referee. Censorship is dangerous, but it's better than blaming your loss on an impartial official.

Censorship is dangerous, but it's better than blaming your loss on an impartial official. You edited one of my posts, and deleted another. Neither was whining nor a shot at the ref, much less a cheap one. Perhaps there were others that you think fall into that category. If any posters are whining, why not let them? They'll only prove themselves to be what they are. The people on this forum are fully capable of making the distinguishment without your interference.

You can post whatever you want. Just be sure to sign it, first and last name, and email me so we can confirm it (for legal purposes). So why the deletions? I wouldn't post anything I wouldn't sign my name to. Legal purposes, really? By the by, CRAZY stuff on that Jesuit/Laffy thread. Suggestions that a ref might not call a foul knowing it was in the box and would result in PK. A foul is a foul. Do the seeming "powers that be" on this forum mean to imply that refs make calls based on possible outcome rather than regulation and what they see from position? I never suggested they were infallible, but I guess I've been REALLY naive in my years of watching this game and put my faith in refs calling games evenly...regardless of what a call may do to progression/advantage in a game. Again, I say, a foul is a foul. First minutes, last...if you'll call it, call it all game long. My earlier (deleted) comment about a questionable foul was in response to Boomer's assertion that he prefers two field refs. Because of the issue of position (and refs not having the super powers to see all things) there was a uncalled foul. Please tell me what is SOOO controversial about that observation. I've enjoyed this forum, I'm only sorry I found it so late in my child's years of soccer. GREAT folks around this state enjoying a great game. Congratulations to all the Champs! To those who got to the finals and didn't get the "W"...every team finished STRONG...go take a look at the scores. Not one of the title holders got past you without a SERIOUS fight. For all players, coaches, and yes, even refs, thanks for the endless hours you put into a sport so we can pay to sit in the worst weather of the year to cheer on our favorite sons! You all make us proud. Respectfully, Mary Sandoval

Good responses, mamaree. I read several of the deleted posts on this thread and fail to see what caused them to be deleted. Some of them were sour grapes (and some were just from passionate fans with raw emotions), but aren't half of the posts on this forum the same thing? I would love for Timaeus to explain the difference of these deleted posts and all of the ones on the Jesuit-Lafayette thread that have been allowed to stand...IMO those posts are much more attacking and irrational then these posts were. I am not for censorship on either one...unless a post is a serious personal attack or vulgar, then it should not be deleted. Even Shrevedad, who is usually quick to delete inappropriate posts, read those threads and saw no reason to delete them. Posts that bash others are much more of a poor reflection on the poster than the one that is being bashed, so why not let them be judged for what they are, rather than censor all the posts you don't like.

Newman played just as much direct soccer as University did but the only difference is that they finished off of their oppurtunities. From what I remember, Newman was clearly the better team for all of the first half, and then it looked like they got complacent and took their foot off the gas... but by no means did U high dominate the final 65 minutes- it was pretty evenly match the last 40 minutes of the game

Great game, and I don't think anyone posting is trying to turn it into an argument about refereeing. Considering that their goalie is a freshman, and didn't start until a few games left in the season, I would think that this kid looks like he's going to have a pretty bright future
