I want to say good job DeRidder on the win.I also want to tell the Lady Panthers great job for a team that DeRidder had already looked over.Special Attention to Parkway Goalie Amber Salvucci to have so many shots on goal and to let so few get in.This was her 3 loss this season in goal with all teams shotting 18 times or more to beat the Lady Panthers.Other 2 losses were to Neville #3rd in State.So be looking for here agian next year and all the other Lady Panthers.

Definately agree with the great job to Parkway, and especially the goalie. But as for DeRidder looking beyond that game, you are mistaken. If you check prior posts, other people not from DeRidder had us moving on, we have always said one game at a time and never looked beyond the task at hand. It was a great, although nervewracking game to watch and both teams are to be commended for thier play. Best of luck to Parkway next year.

WOW!! thanks for the support from all the Non-SHHS people that came. Just to give you a quick run down. SHHS 0 EA 0 at half. SHHS scored on a free kick about 50 yds out chipped over line and onto Whitney Holland who finished well with 13 min left in half. EA scored on a PK in the last 3 min of the game to tie it up. Played 2 10min ot's SHHS almost scored twice just couldn't put it in. In the first 5 min ot got another freekick in about the same place as the first goal and played it over the line as previously done and we got it at the top of 18 1v1 with goalie and some EA girl made an incredible tackle to tap it out. Game ends and goes to shoot out.
______1_2_3_4_5 EA____X_O_O_X SHHS_O_O_O_O
SHHS wins 4-2 in shootout. On to play Neville at home probably monday night.

School support for both teams was magnificent. Was proud of travelling EA army. Was IMPRESSED with SH boys who made as much noise as they could throughout the game, BUT when it came to PKs were extremely respectful. Speaks volumes of program, their parents, etc. Well done. Thought first 20 mins of game, was pretty much 70% EA. Could have grabbed the lead early on but ball went directly to stellar Rudd in goal. HT was an appropriate 0-0, second half was EA traffic, then from 50-65 min, pendulum swung back to SH, and EA forced to revert back to a 4-4-2. SH grabbed the lead, the way we were worried would grab the lead. We have a freshman sweeper and a sophomore keeper, I'd like to think SH thought they were both stellar, and SH just placed the ball in the right spot. Perfect execution, not sure we could have done anything about it. We switch to 4 forwards with the 10 mins left, and looked like would be in vain. Grab the PK in the dying minutes and our best PK taker, the same one who went first last years shootout, put it in. My only real grumble of the game, and have not viewed tape, so happy to be corrected, if a deliberate handball and ball crossing the line - 1. should it not be a goal anyway? Again need clarification. 2. should that not be an automatic red? I'll add to that, by saying one of our two yellows in the first half had every reason to be followed by a straight red after player attempted to grab the card. OT - Agreed with SH chances, EA keeper pulled off a blinding save, and SH def had best two chances, whereas EA had likely 60-70% of the run of play. PKs Our lil wonder stepped up and missed. Was asking too much to beat Ashley two times in one night, so you go one down in PKs from the get-go, it is a game of catchup. SH obviously put the memory of last year behind them. Big congrats to SH, I wish them only the very best for the next round, especially the senior corp who suffered hard last year. Enjoy the win, enjoy these next few practices, enjoy the next game. Not many guarantees in life, but in a lil over two weeks your HS soccer careers will definitely be over and done. Enjoy the moment. As for my Wonderful Women of Sparta - A brutally tough way to lose, but to sound cliched, this is the beautiful game. Games like last night only endure me even more to this profession, and just emotionally pull me even more into this committment with such fine and upstanding young ladies. Thank you, especially the Spartan Seniors. We will miss you tremdously.

I watched last night's EA vs SHHS game as well as the game in last years quarter finals, which also came to PKs. It's obvious that Sam Houston has been working on PKs extensively. EA's goalie gave her best effort but all of Sam Houston's shots were in just the right spot.

Although new to the message board, I have a couple of comments. And I don't want to bring up a "dead issue," but I just stumbled across the thread yesterday....
1) I have played Coach Walker from Tioga and he is a good coach 2) I do, however, have a problem with a 17-0 score. I agree that it is hard to reign in players from scoring (especially when the other team is weak) and it is even more difficult to keep players from scoring when it may be the only time they score, HOWEVER, games you know are going to be blowouts, are the games you TRAVEL the strictly JV players so they get VARSITY experience. 3) I, like Tioga, have many players who have never touched a ball before, but I take these ladies to certain games, b/c I know they will get playing time, and their inexperience will not jeopardize the team and our ability to win. In this way, I can still play 10 or 11 players against a much weaker team and give them the competition THEY need, and also get the competition MY girls need. 4) I believe the "magic number" that has been of such great debate lately is 9. It is psychologically more devestating to lose 10 or more to zero, than to lose 9-0. It is merely a double-digit thing. My team has never scored more than 9 against an opponent for this reason. We recently played a game where we scored in 34 seconds. Without question, we could have probably scored 25 goals in that game. It comes down to discipline of your PLAYERS. The members of the team need to KNOW it is not necessary to destroy a team on the scoreboard. I am proud to say that my team follows me in this mindset and has the respect of the other team and the game to stay below the "magic number" of 10. (In no way am I saying that Tioga or Coach Walker are disrespectful. I am merely saying we, as a soccer community, need to reevaluate what is important. "We got beat by 14 so we should get to beat another team by 12." That's just not good logic. It hurts just as bad to lose by 1...so why push the issue.)
These are just my thoughts. Take them or leave them as you wish.

Neville 1 SHHS 0. Best game we have ever played. We asked a lot of our defense tonight and they gave everything they had and more. We shut down Neville's two fwd's for 79.5 minutes. One laps in defense and they capitalized in the last minute of the first half. Good luck to neville in the Semis

Looks like Neville single handed put out most of our district in the playoffs. They beat #4 ASH 6-0 first round, #2 Tioga 6-0 second round, and #3 Sam Houston 1-0 third round. Looks like the SH strategy of tanking the Tioga game to get better playoff seeding actually worked, and they came much closer to eliminating Neville at home than ASH or Tioga did away. As I recall STM went to Neville last year and beat them handily, 4-0 or something similar. This might be a finals rematch that is interesting to watch, though SSA and BF will have something to say about that. STM will have had more away games, so should theoretically be the home team. Well, I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Mung, I always like to see what you are thinking. What are your thoughts on the Neville/Ben Franklin match? It seems most are predicting BF to win. I don't know anything about Ben Franklin, but I do know that Neville will be ALL OUT to win. Neville was down a varsity starter for the SHHS match due to illness, but should have a full squad this Friday.

Well, of course I'm pulling for Neville. I haven't seen BF, but they seem to play some excellent competition in the N.O. area, and they beat Ursuline to get there, so it will definitely be a tough match. If Neville is healthy and they play well at home, this could be a close vistory. I hope your field has dried out and is not too torn up from the ASH and Tioga games. Good luck.

With all the respect to Neville,not impressed with Neville. Defenders under pressure just kick the ball out, keeper questionable-only 2 good players #5 and #10 if mark man to man, Neville no more. Neville very fortunate SHHS scoring was off, SHHS had 2 good chances to buried the ball in the back of the net the first 7 minutes of the game against the wind, to easy chances the last 5 minutes of the game, they blew it. Neville score and they won other than that nothing else to say. BF 2 Neville 1

Wow java1960, Sounds like Neville is really LUCKY to have made it to the Semi-Finals this year (quarterfinals last year, and semi-finals the year before).........Your synopsis of the SHHS game was truly enlightening.

Neville are the real deal, will be very hard to beat. Home or away.
Agreed Soccermom......not lucky at all!
Some are judging things on one single game. Highly unlikely that Neville were going to SH and win by 6 or 7. SH would defend home field with all their might.
However, not so sure SH would have beaten ASH or Tioga by 6 goals in district???
Good luck to all.
Early prediction.also with SSA and STM moving up and BF moving down........07-08 state champs.......Neville.

Neville looses 2 senior starters this year - 4 total on the team (to answer an earlier question) - and had many problems in the Sam Houston game - from serious injuries to illnesses changing our game. If you notice #10 that scored had 101 fever and a bad injury from the Tioga game that is healing only played about 60% of the game - and starting central defender did not think about playing after the stomach bug hit her. Two other factors - the wind (effected both teams) and the small field hindered team speed. We also missed several good opportunities - like to the cross to our freshman mid late in the 2nd half - who got big eyes at the open goal and it went wide - and another from #20 the went wide from the left side at the open far post. Now for Sam Houston - they played hard and sure never gave up - I thought they were going to get one in at the end! The entire team was big and athletic and you can tell they played some good teams this year to get ready for the playoffs. The crowd kept them going and they could have easily put one in with the girl who can throw the ball 30 yards! Good game and blessed that we came out with a win under all the circumstances! Definitely not taking Ben Franklin lightly- they are a seasoned team with a rich history - just hope to play to our potential and move on - all you can do.

SHHS played a wonderful game. Neville played a wonderful game. Any team could have won at anytime. Neville just happened to put one in. Personally, I wished it could have been SHHS since it is my daughters senior year, but we had a great year playing great teams. The friendships made in soccer will last a lifetime.
