Ok I agree with your number 1 but how can your rank CHS-PC higher than Parkview and ESA, when Parkview and ESA beat them. Don't get me wrong they are top 10.

Here's mine....

1. Sacred Heart of New Orleans
2. St. Martin's
3. Catholic High of New Iberia
4. St. Louis
5. Parkview
6. E.D.White
7. Episcopal School of Acadiana
8. Episocpal of Baton Rouge
9. CHS-PC
10. St. Thomas Aquinas

Since we are getting some good input here, I thought I would put in my 2 cents worth. I wish I had other scores (like how did CHSNI do in ESA tournament?, also haven't heard a lot of what St. Louis has done)....so some of it is based on what I've seen....some on reputation.

1. Sacred Heart
2. Parkview
3. St. Louis
4. St. Martins
5. Episcopal (BR)
6. ESA
7. CHSNI
8. University
9. E.D. White
10. St. Thomas Aquinas



I'm flattered that some of ya'll think we are top ten....maybe....I'm not sure we are right now but we'll see.
I didn't rank Newman.....as I understand, they aren't playing yet and until they do, I won't rank them.
University has been quietly beating people, they are someone to watch. Runnels is up and coming also, watch for them. Episcopal BR right now is one of the best teams and until Jan will stay there and then we can see how many they lose back to NO.
Part of the problem is that not everyone is posting scores. I know the season is young and sometimes we haven't had everyone for certain games but if everyone posted scores it would be very helpful. Oh, I didn't put my vote into the LHSSCAA since I was too late, but maybe next week.
I'm posting who we've played and beaten so some of ya'll can make a more objective decision.
By the way, we are Catholic of Pointe Coupee. We are 7-4-2.
Beaten
St. Michaels 2-1
Ouachita Christian 4-0 (Bolton Tournament)
Bolton (JV) 6-0 (Bolton Tournament) (I know, shouldn't count this one)
Redemptorist 4-1
Opelousas Catholic 1-0
Tioga 3-1 (ESA Tournament)
Bolton 3-0 (ESA Tournament) (this was their varsity)

Lost to
Redemptorist 2-0 (Bolton Tournament)
St Freds 0-0 (Bolton Tournament, beat us on PKs)
Parkview 5-2
ESA 3-0 (ESA Tournament)

Tied
Redemptorist 1-1
Episcopal BR 1-1

I would love to see others records and who ya'll have played.

I think there is more parity this year from what I have seen. I think anyone in the top 15 has a shot at the title. Should be a fun year!

Bolton were short two starters in the ESA tourney. Leading goal scorer and a midfielder. We beat St. Freds in the Bolton tourney. Hopefully everyone will be well and playing for our visit to chspc. I think we are more closely matched than the score at ESA showed.

This is what I know or have seen from this Division so far this year. Many scores have been posted in different places. Recently, ED. White beat St. Martins 3-2, Sacred Heart has beaten Parkview 3-0 and Episcopal 2-1 (although they are not nearly as good as in years past) , Newman and Country Day will only have their January schedules before playoffs but should still be solid, St. Louis seems to be competing against all divisions pretty well, Loyola is struggling, and there are some new up and commers who are getting some quality victories, such as CHSNI and Point Coupee. But until any of the western schools knocks off a Newman or COuntry Day with regularity, you have to stick with one of the old dogs to win again. The only school to win a Division III title outside of New Orleans was University High in 1998.

I will say that it has been an interesting season for Redemptorist and they haven't even gotten to district yet. Three starters out with injury and seven playing with injuries and a goalie playing forward. But if it helps here is our record:

6-6-2

Beaten:
CHS-PC 2-0
Bolton 6-0
Riveside 4-0
St. Fred's 2-0
St. Amant 1-0
McKinley 1-0

Loss to:
PJP II 1-0, 3-2
Blenk 3-2
CHS-PC 4-1
U High 4-1
Northlake 3-1

Tied:
OCS 2-2
CHS-PC 1-1

I must say that even though we have had some losses I am proud that the girls were only shut out once, but losing by one point hurts.
