Read up on bigdaddycrusader's post. He's a neutral with no dog in the hunt. guessing a brother martin crusader would cheer for a 0-0 tie. I'll check it out FYI, Big Daddy is a Westminster fan, not Brother Martin.

I read the Times Picayune article and wondered about the Jesuit team going forward. Most of their players are young including the 2 players that scored. Not sure how it will go next week but the future looks bright for the Banks Street Bombers. Anyone know if the kid that scored the game winner is a junior or a sophomore?

Per the Jesuit roster Braden Brignac (who scored the game winner) is a freshman and Dillon Fuchs is a junior. They scored the four goals for Jesuit per the Times-Picayune article -- Brignac with the first and fourth, Fuchs with the second and third. Not very often that a freshman makes the Jesuit varsity roster. (Chase Rushing did a couple of years ago.)

Jesuit fans will say great comeback and Acadiana fans will say it was a collapse. I think both are equally true. IMO games like this one between similarly talented teams (regardless of the sport) almost always require both components (comeback & collapse). One team has a collapse and the other takes advantage to create the comeback. I think it would be dismissive of Acadiana fans to say it wasn't a great comeback, and it would be equally dismissive of Jays fans to not recognize a significant drop off in execution by Acadiana after they took the 3 goal lead. After the 3rd goal the Rams had no need to press forward in an effort to score, but they did need to continue to play possession soccer. They did neither Credit the Jays for continuing to apply pressure and make things happen. That's just the way I see it.

Wow! What a match! I mean this is probably one of the greatest comebacks I've seen in Louisiana High School Soccer. Yes, St. Charles 5-3 over Westminster was a great comeback as well, but for an obviously underrated Jesuit squad to score 4 goals in 15 minutes against a fantastic Acadiana squad is amazing! Reminds me of the time Arsenal went down 5-0 at half a few years back and won 7-5 in the end lol

Thanks for the info. I have refed the Jays and watched them a couple of times this year and I would not have thought the Brignac kid was a freshman! That is very unusual at Jesuit. If there is an All Freshman team, he should be on it.

Mind boggling to me how you can give up four goals in 20 minutes.

Collapse/ Comeback...it was both. But each team should own their part in the outcome.
For Jesuit, it will add to the folklore of the program and the responsible parties will be recorded in school history.
For Acadiana, they will be left to ponder the collapse...what allowed it to happen? What could have been done differently?
The one thing for sure is that the collapse will be my take away from the game...how does a team not put a semi away with a 3 goal lead at half. Unbelievable....

If Acadiana possesses the ball 50%-ish of the 2nd half they probably would have won. If after the Jays 1st goal, the Rams would have knocked the ball around and maintained possession for even a short while it would have altered momentum. To their credit Jesuit was able to maintain their pressure. After their 2nd goal it was like sharks with blood in the water. One small correction though. Rams 3rd goal was in 2nd half. 2-0 at half time.

Sounds like one coach made adjustments and one did nothing for second half. I also imagine Jesuit would say they worked very hard to get their goals and would not consider any gifting. m I could elaborate but I won't because it doesn't change the outcome and you'll never convince me that kids enter the field of competition with the intention to screw up. But, I will direct you to crusaders post where he formed a neutral and unbiased opinion.complete collapse. I consider Jesuit to be the "class" of the New Orleans area schools and have great respect for their coach. Arguably the best. Not taking anything away from the Blue Jays but it was incredibly painful to see that much lack of focus by one team in the game's final 15. I certainly wasn't advocating that any of the players intentionally screwed up. however, if you watch or read sports news then you by now have seen that 2 high school basketball teams both tried to throw a game so they would bypass the hardest team while fighting for championship berth.

I wasn't attenpting to imply that you were making that statement about intentionally screwing up. I was only saying that MOST (99%) of high school teams and athletes compete to win. I was making the point that I wouldn't elaborate on my opinions because if mistakes were made, they were done so coincidentally and in the spirit of competition. I didn't intend for it to seem like I was targeting you or your comments. Apologies.
