FHS @ SSA 5:30 Tuesday

[know1important]

Should be a good one. The first one went to OT with FHS coming out on top 2-1.

SSA wins this one by the same score as FHS won the first one 2-1

Do you know where SSA plays their games? DIrections maybe? Coming from New Orleans.
Thanks

Take the Causeway after you get off the causeway it turns into N Causeway Blvd stay straight and go to 190-W. Turn Left on 190-W. Pass Covington High School which is on the right. The SSA fields are on the right hand side right after you pass Covington High School.

I believe this is the easiest way.

Hope that helps.

I appreciate that. Thanks

Well it seems that I'll be the one to give the summary.
Fontainebleau wins this one 2-1 in PKs.

The game was a tale of two halves. The first half dominated by SSA and the second by FHS. SSA came out firing in the first half and Fontainebleau seemed to be adjusting, but adjusting slowly. Then in about the last ten minutes of the half, FHS started to fall apart and get sloppy, and Kelly Gauthreaux beat the FHS defender, slipped it past the keeper coming out, and shot, but defender Bri Joseph was there to deflect it. Unfortunately the deflection was in the area of Tricia Johnson, and she touched it into the goal. The rest of the half was a slow change of momentum with FHS having the edge at halftime.

Fontainebleau completely turned it around in the second half. They started playing their soccer rather than trying to conform to SSA. It payed off when Hannah Leumas broke free down the sidelines and crossed the ball into Casey Adkins who buried the shot. (Those are both freshmen by the way). Fontainebleau maintained control of the remaining minutes of the half, and into the first overtime. The second overtime was an even one, with both teams wearing out. and so we move to pks....

Fontainebleau won the toss and picked to kick second:
SSA: Tricia Johnson - goal to lower right corner
FHS: Elisha Tarbell - goal
SSA: Danielle Beatty - blocked by Jean Bernard
FHS: Shelbi Lacombe - goal
SSA: Camille Shepherd - high goal that deflected in off the crossbar
FHS: Caitlin Leumas - goal
SSA: Caitlyn Kinchen - shot over
FHS: Casey Adkins - goal to seal the victory!!

And so congratulations to the FHS Lady Bulldogs on their 7th STRAIGHT DISTRICT TITLE! (undefeated with a win over hammond on friday)
And kudos to the girls for overcoming doubt, and for overcoming and pushing past SSA TWICE! despite everyone else saying that they couldn't.

This must have been a great game! Jean Bernard is one of the best goalies around and these 2 teams are both good enough to play again in the finals. By the way Goalgoalgoal02, while I congratulate Fontainebleau on a terriffic undefeated district record and much-deserved champion of a very tough district, I am puzzled that this could be the "7th STRAIGHT DISTRICT TITLE" since that team was actually only the #2 seeded team from the district last year and Mandeville was the #1 seed?

[rocksccrstar]

If I remember correctly and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I thought Mandeville and Fontainebleau tied for first last year. However for playoff purposes you have to name a #1 seed and a #2 seed. Not sure how they decided who would be 1 and who would be 2

[know1important]

If there was any game that wasn't a tale of two halves this might be it (my opinion) In the first half FHS came out and controlled the tempo for at least the first fifteen or twenty with the tide slowly turning in SSA's favor the second part of thee first half and ultimately led to SSA finding the net.

The second half momentum shifted back and forth in five to ten minute chunks. FHS capitalized about midway through the second half and held momentum until the last ten or so and then it clearly swung in SSA's favor the last ten of regulation.

The only tale of two halves was the OT which I believe the first being clearly dominated by SSA and the second by FHS.

It was an incredible game that had a lot of back and forth and was unfortunate that the game had to be decided in PKs.

My hats off to both teams and I hope they both do well in the play-offs.

Mandeville and Fontainebleau shared the district title last year. The district names co-champions and the tie-breakers are for playoff seeding purposes only. Congrats to FHS!

I don't know if anyone caught this but why did you post where each shooter made their PKs?? Now every team in the state will know where the players that took a shot shoot.

[justfurfun]

I don't think Goalgoalgoal02 meant it like that because SSA's shooter's were all different and FHS shooters were all the same, low and to the far right corner. I think it was just meant to show how SSA's were all over the cage.
