I accept your apology, you probably I could have called somethings, but I choose not to , because, these kids need to know how to play physical, that type of play, is what they will see in the playoffs , so they need all the competetive and physical games, and I will tell you from experience, you think fouls don't get called up here, try down there, they let murder happen. I have seen some pretty ugly non calls down there while being a ref. They need to get used to not getting all the calls when they want them.. I will say that Before each game , I tell the players that I will let them play, and that I don't blow the whistle to terriblely much they know it before we start playing. and seems to me that they act better when I tell then I like to let them just play then to not not tell them that at all. I I am also one of the most experience also refs here , even though I am younger then alot of them, this is my 10 year doing it. after playing college and pro, and being a ref at different levels, and yes I have been a ref for college games. I prefer to the kids play, because one it slows down the rythum of the teams, two as long as they aren't playing the man, and make a descent attempt for the ball, then its ok , there are times whent hat is not always the case but mostly it goes that way. By the way , I am not for sure it was you, but somebody idiot was screaming advantage at midfield. I just looked up in the stands and tired not to laugh. I have your game tonight by the way against airline, sure thats a complete utter destruction. I feel sorry for Airline. their coach has some descent players but he won't move them to maximize his talent.

Yes I did graduate from college but I was never a good speller, still to this day I am not one. Grammar and language, where not always my strong suite, I can think of what I want to say with no problem but as to spelling it or making sure it always fits, well thats not my best suite, thats what secretary is for. No offense to any women on here .

I'm just sorry about criticizing your reffing skills so much. You seem to have talent, and you weren't bad when I did watch you play. Out of curiousity, where did you play pro? That's pretty cool that you did that. Anyways, the game tonight should be all right, kind of miserable they chose to play games on the week of Caddo Parish midterms, but oh well. Each team in the district has good players, it's just that the team doesn't always work well together. Perhaps that's it in the case of Airline. Good luck tonight.

I played at San Diego State U. I played for Seatlle Sounders. Any, your right there are teams that have talent. but they don't have a cohesive unit unlike some teams. Airline has talent but after listening to them, I don't think they always have the heart , or atleast it seems that way. Plus from what I understand their coach doesn't know much about soccer. They just boot the ball and hope it goes to somebody most of the time, I prefer to keep my name confidential if you don't mind.

College soccer, that's awesome. That's great for you, anyways, what did you think about the Caddo Magnet/Airline game last night? Any thoughts, after reffing?

Yeah , Caddo Magnet, is a good team and will remain a good team as long as they have good players and they play for each other not themselves. which I might add they do. I could think of more than a few times, that a player could have dribbled in and shot but choose to give the ball up to another player who had a better angle for the shot . I know coach orta, and I know that he will continue to develop those players into a very efficient and effective, team. They don't squander chaces and they work well as a team. As far as airline, I will say that the coach did change up and move better players on defense, but the goalie, was well not very good, she could have saved a few goals that she didn't try for or tried to early for them. She had poor coaching at goalie , and it shows. Thats not her fault though, but it would make a difference for her . if she had proper coaching. Oh well , there is not much you can do about that with the lack of commitment by players or coaching on a critical part of the game.

Centerreff, are you reffing any games this weekend at the Parkway Tournament? If so, how are the games, and how are Parkway and Loyola doing. They seem to be the two best teams in the tournament. How do you think Rachel Alexander's presence adds to Parkways teams? Just a few questoins that i'd like to hear a reff answer.

Yes I was at the tourney and yes I am a ref there, I did not ref loyola, or parkway, I did the boys mostly, anyway, rachel alexzander adds alot to parkway, without a doubt she is a very skilled players, now how that equates to how the team plays, thats a different story, hopefully they support her and not stand by and watch her do allt he work.
