[fortuna]

who do you think will win...i think brhs is a front runner after last nights beating of stm

[CaddoMagnet]

I think the potential winners of the Blue Division are St. Stephens of Texas, American Heritage of Florida, Caddo Magnet, and Ben Franklin. BRHS may win their group, but will have to defeat a highly skilled Ben Franklin Squad.

[observer]

I would be more inclined to think that the wild card would come from the Ben Franklin/Baton Rouge bracket. that would eliminate either St. Stephens or Caddo Magnet.

Based on results of two years ago, www.louisianashowcasesoccer.com/ [2001],
American Heritage has to be favored over the LA teams.

Couldn't find much on St. Stephens, but their soccer program looks impressive, and it seems as though they're bringing what amounts to a select team to the tournament. See www.ststephens-texas.com/novemberNewsletter.html#sports. The St. Stephens boys already "have been ruled ineligible for Southwest Preparatory Conference play" -- and next year the girl's team will be as well.

Like NawlinsSoccer said, can't see BRHS doing much based on their results at the SSA tournament. Without further info, only reasonable conclusion to draw is that STM is just not that strong this year.

They had alot of very good teams and players at that tournament .... unfortunately a few of the teams didnt do soo great. I know Acadiana had a very bad weekend but some of there players gave it there best and played very well. St. louis had a few good games but still didnt do as well as they should have .
Congratz to loyola.... your team had a very good weekend !

[ocssoccerfan]

Congrats to Loyolla! You have a great team.

For all you "smack" talkers, our coach would never dignify your attacks with a response, but i will.

OC went to the tourney with 16 players, of which 13 were 100% healthy. Three more were injured in the CHNI game. At halftime, one player was so sick she couldnt breath, another had an asthma attack, and three more were getting cramps. Our coach put the health of his players above trying to win. Even on their best day, and 100% healthy, OC might hang for a while, but Loyolla is in a different class than OC. They were down 4-0 at half, is there a team in this state that could spot Loyolla 4 goals and come back to win? The team was happy with second, the parents were happy, so what is the problem? They got to the game because they won, but 5 games in 26 hours takes a tremendous amount of physical endurance. There was only 10 minutes rest between the playoff and the championship. If he had all 23 players, Im sure he would have played. But at halftime, only 8 girls could physically answer the bell. Exhausted players are extremely susceptible to injury. I think it was heroic that they got as far as they did. We are proud of our team, they did the best they could. So save your "locker room winners never quit" speech for someone who might care. You weren't there. We were.

Again, we feel that Loyolla has a great team, and handled the situation with a lot of class and compassion. We appreciate it.
