When you're up 10-0, do you ever think to yourself that scoring another 7 goals is a good idea?

i'd like to know what the coach of northshore was thinking.what does he think he accomplished by running up the score. the only thing that can be said about this is it was a classless showing by northshore. KNOWONE CAN JUSTIFY WHAT THEY DID!

I don't think it was intentional. Almost all starters were taken out around halftime or shortly thereafter. The only reason it was 17-0 was the inabilty of the other team to play soccer. Not one player on the Abrahamson team demonstrated skill or knowledge of the game. It was basically a team of football players playing against a soccer team in none other than soccer. What was Coach Penton from Northshore supposed to do, sit eleven on the goaline. Sure you could tell your players to play possesion but it was again eventually going to end up back down by the Abrahamson goal again. Thoughts are that although the game was 17-0 the game could've easily been more like 30-0.

footy365 ther is no reason to score17 goals, you can't justify this at all. what northshore was suppose to do is show some CLASS and not put the ball in the net.
hdkiga i hope we can take care of this as well.

Same post I put up on NOLA.
1) the coach has never been accused of showing anyone respect, why would anyone expect any different?
2) should a team this weak be in the playoffs?

The game is a competition. I rather a team play hard all game and get beaten 20-0 than a team play around and the score end up 5-0. It may look better on paper but players playing around and laughing on the opposing team is much more disheartning than a team playing 100% the whole game like it is supposed to be played.

what were they suppose to do after 10 goals had been scored on them? footy365 if you continue to debate this and take northshores side i have a feeling you will lose,(not 17-0), but you will lose. you can't spin this in a possitive way for northshore no matter how you try. it just won't wash!

You can play 100% and not score......it's real easy, I used to do it all the time. It's called passing. Maybe say, you can only score using your head, maybe only off a volley with your minor foot. To put 17 in means you score every 4.7 minutes......that's not holding back at all.....I am happy that Northshore is a strong team once again, and I am sure teams like Jesuit, Lafayette, Acadiana, Rummel, and the other top teams could have run the score up in tournament play, but they chose to do the respectable thing and work on other things within game play other than scoring at will.....ie the aforementioned. When you beat a team like that, there are no positives......it's not like it gave Northshore more confidence, and all it did was maybe deter the underclassmen from Abramson, from playing the game anymore. Next time, tell the coach to back off.

simple... CL is in the weak district and is is very strong... They have never put 10+ with them the varsity playing or the varsity subs. granted the JV was able to at 4 to end a game 12-0 but thats giving the JV confidense...

Well, either way the coach goes the game still will turn out into a bad situation. I think the best idea would have been to call this one at half-time and allow both teams to go home, maybe even letting Abrahamson go with some of its dignity intact. I believe that the LHSAA should also revamp their playoff system to avoid having games such as these. My opinion is that a team as bad as Abrahamson should not be allowed to enter the playoffs.

Ohhhhhhh no!! Call a game at halftime because you are winning 2 good.... Oh but Hell no. I would reather play and get my butt whooped then to call it because we losing so bad. Think about it. You want to call a game when this is the end of the season and the last one they will play for a year. Give me a break. What they did was SIMPLY wrong and should have never happened

Good Point. Don't think of things like that. But i think the best thing would be not having teams such as Abrahamson in the playoffs. I think LHSAA needs to attend to this.

If you can get beat 17-0 in the playoffs you shouldn't be there. Simple as that.

It's worse to lose 10-0 and know that the other team was just screwing with you. In the regular season I would have said it was classless but its the playoffs and you play your best. If that means you keep scoring then you keep scoring. If you can't handle it then you shouldn't have been there in the first place.

In football, this score would have been 119- 0. I thought last night we should work on our 4-corner offense, like basketball players.

Why does everybody hate on our coach. Mandeville just beat a team 19-0 on Wednesday, and Fountainebleau won 13-0 and I don't see anybody ragging on those coaches.
Wait till Slidell plays today at 3 and see that score!

TOTAL lack of class. There is NO reason to do that to any team. There is nothing that can be said that would excuse or justify this. Sure, Abramson probably did not belong in the playoffs. But, they were, so show some respect for your opponent. Lakeview states that Mandeville and Fontainebleau did the same thing earlier and wait to see what Slidell is going to do. Is this the mentality of the teams on the northshore? Does this make it right because other teams have done it? Do those teams mentioned get their kicks by beating up on inferior teams? Try beating talented teams with class. Better yet, try showing some class yourself.

JV or not....you could have still called off the scores....I would much rather get beat 10-0 knowing that a team was 10 times better than me, but they held back out of respect, then get blown out 17-0 and become a laughing stock of soccer.
Like I said earlier....congrats to Northshore for having a good team....I just hope you saved some fire power for the next rounds, because now your team has a little bit of a target on them.
