I will state the same thing that I pretty much just stated on the boys thread...
The results will be wrong from time to time due to information not getting out. This is more subjective to happen on the girls side more than the boys side.
However, if the moderators wouldn't have to worry about the scrunity and non-sense posted by some of the users on the board, they could get more done in getting the word out about teams. They are donating their time to help promote high school soccer, but find themselves having to spend more time being a "policeman" than actually "promoter" simply because some people can't follow the rules on the board.
There are alot of contributors to this board who are tired of the scrunity they face when they make a comment and it turns out they are wrong, then everybody pounds them because they are always posting. Why should they continue to throw ideas, post, and good efforts out there when in return 99% of the time all they get is a backfire if it goes wrong.. Just think about this... Surely makes me think about if I want to continue to do all i do for this board at this point and time...

Putmeincoach2 - This board and its moderators are much appreciated by a lot of people. I have been reading and lurking for a while but just decided to finally get registered.
Keep up the good work and don't let the whiners & naysayers bring you down.

I agree that a lot of the moderators on this board do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes unnoticed and is certainly under-appreciated. Putmeincoach seems to confuse "promotion of soccer" with offering opinions. I challenge anyone to find any post that criticizes or scrutinizes any person for true promotion of high school soccer or for disseminating purely factual information.
The promotion activities and dissemination of information from around the state sometimes get bogged down in a lot of chest beating and bragging by some of the parents about who has the better team, strongest district, toughest schedule, etc. When someone chooses to take off his "moderator" hat (and lose his objectivity), and goes off on a tangent to brag and boast on his own player's team, then he deserves whatever scrutiny and criticism he gets in response. Readers who disagree with an opinion posted on this board have just as much right to voice their opposing opinions as the reader who posted the opinion in the first place, moderator or not.
If someone is too sensitive to face up to the backlash of his opinions--as opposed to a statement of objective fact--then he should do what most of the readers on this board do and keep his opinions to himself.

I too scratched my head when the votes came in but with a little reminding and info, next poll should clear things up. And BTW, I had Byrd ahead of Caddo!!

I do agree that when offer our oppinions we are subject to the same scrunity as everybody else, and I will offer my opinions and take the heat for my opinions. However, I will state my reasons for stating the difference. When i researched facts about a team, and the reason behind a lost, and got the reasons to and confirmed what was written on the board was right. I confirmed it on this board. Yet when that team loss again, people are asking me what is the excuse this time. When all i presented were facts i found out to confirm the issue. Next when a person, not a moderator, presents alot of facts and figures for this site, yet is scrunitized about his fans and team on this board. That is where the real reasoning behind it lies. The refs now go into the game controlling the atomosphere of this team's stadium, all because of the scrunity a person faced on this board as he was trying to promote high school soccer. However, some felt it was a good opportunity to take a shot at him, and needless to say it worked. That is the type of things that gets under the skin of the people who work hard to try and "promote" high school soccer. I usually will try to avoid contravery, but we all know it is impossible to avoid. I will take critism, at the same time I will dish it out. *Note that majority of this happens on the boys side of thread more than the girls*

I have been on this board a little over a year and find the moderators helpful, factual and supportive of the sport. I for one appreciate the chance to have a place to post and learn about state soccer.

It's possible that Caddo gained some points by people seeing some results from the two Texas tournaments...we played 7 games and went 5-1-1. Being from the northwest part of the state we go to Texas just to get some good competition before the playoffs. Byrd also lost to Parkway in the Parkway tournament and did not fare particularly well in the Lafayette tournament. I'm not saying that Caddo deserves to be above Byrd, just trying to shed some light on why some voters may have voted the way they did?!?
Being a Caddo coach I can tell you it doesn't matter much to us...there isn't much difference between us and Bryd. They beat us twice so I'd say put them around 8 or 9 and us around 9 or 10.

I want everyone to know I wasn't criticizing anyone or any teams! OCHS is where I graduated (many years ago I might add!) and I still love to keep up with the local team. I don't see a lot of posts regarding the Lady Vikes so I thought I'd give the group an update considering how out of date their record was.
I know how our Redemptorist girls felt when they cracked the top 10 in my daughter's Freshman year. I just wanted the home town girls to see respect for their hard work. I'm sure we all want our teams to be recognized...it shows that other respect the hard work.
I think the polls have been wonderful this season. We just need to get more folks involved. But it's great to see so much activity on the site!
Keep up the good work voters!

Mount Carmel is 21 2 1 .(not 20 2 1) They played Higgins and Vandebilt last week. (16 - 0 with Higgins)(3-1 with Vandebilt). From what I understand they have three more games. Today with Dominican for district championship (MC is 7-0) (Dom is 5-1). Sat they play St.Thomas More and Monday St Michael.

Being a Caddo coach I can tell you it doesn't matter much to us...there isn't much difference between us and Bryd. They beat us twice so I'd say put them around 8 or 9 and us around 9 or 10. Oh. OK. Since the last poll what has happened? Magnet beat Shreve 1-0 and Byrd beat Southwood 7-0. According to the NWLHSS site that posts the D1-1 schedules, scores, standings, and records, updated as of today, Byrd is 10-0 in district play (having beaten Magnet twice) and having only three goals scored on them in district play? Magnet is 5-2 in district play. Clearly, Byrd should be over CMHS on the basis of their district records. But wait, they say, you have to look at the play besides district play. OK. Parkway tournament: Byrd trounced all three scoreless opponents and lost 1-0 to Parkway in the Semi's. In the Lafayette tournament, Byrd tied one and lost two against three veritable South Louisiana powerhouses. Byrd also traveled to Texas (Dallas area) to play in a tournament. They won one game and lost one game before being chased out of town by the ice storm. Surely the poll voters consider not just a team's record and scores, but also the quality of the opponent. I don't think anyone can comment negatively on the quality of St. Thomas Moore or Acadiana, can they? CMHS and Airline play tonight. According to the direction of the polls, if Airline wins and CMHS goes to 5-3 in district, one can't help but wonder if CMHS will improve its poll ranking.
