Division II: who wins it all?

[soccerwatcher08]

Let's start speculating on Division II playoff outcomes......
Who do you think will be in the Semi-Finals?
Parkway with Tioga
Vandebuilt with Neville

Easiest post of the year: Vanderbilt wins it all.

I think there might be a few teams that would want to dispute that. :0)

what u think tioga will make it no way they will lose badly to DeRidder just like last time the recent losses were becuase they were missing key players there is no way they are gonna make it that far i think DeRidder will make it to the semi with parkway it will be a good game but if tioga will make it will be a horrible game

[cenlacoach]

Something to think about... Tioga was also missing 3 players when they played DeRidder and had several players sick when they lost to Sam Houston. But... we will find out Monday.

The best thing about D2 is the division is wide open. While there a few "dominate" teams, no one seems to be the "favorite". This division also has a history of strange things happening. Let the games begin next week. Good luck to everyone from the TIOGA COACH!!

Tioga will make the playoffs win or lose. I believe they have the wins and goals for them against Sam Houston.

Vanderbilt hands down. By far the weakest division in high school soccer.

Thanks janddsideshow for the lack of respect to all Division II soccer players.

It is the weakest no doubt. The private schools have all premier players and premier coaches. Very few of these in Division II. The only public schools to fear are Mandeville, Lafayette and Fontainebleau. Otherwise it's a joke.

Morons like you that seem to think that their opinions matter that much irratate me. To the players parents coaches and fan of Division II schools it is not a joke. Division II players practice everyday, work as hard and play as hard as any other division.The parents and family members sit out in the cold weather just like they do in Division I or 3. A state championship will mean as much to a Division II school as any other.What the real joke is, is that people like you open their mouths and show their true stupidity rather than keep their mouths closed.

Thanks, mswilb. Very well said.

[dhssoccermom25]

Bravo! Well said coach!

[soccerfanatic20]

Thanks mswilb. As a player in Division II, I greatly appreciate the support.

Back to the Subject: Who wins it all?

I think the first round plays out with most top seeds advancing and then a great potential 2nd round match-up with Neville and DeRidder. Do not assume Neville has this wrapped up, DeRidder can pull off a 2nd round win. Then you should have a final 4 of:

Parkway vs Tioga
Neville/DeRidder vs Vandebilt Cath

Either way the finals will be a very good game. And what makes the final more exciting than Div I or Div III and not as janddsideshow says "weakest division/joke"??

The finals are played at the site of one of the finalist. This final may have more fans than a game played many miles from St Thomas More/Fontainebleau/ Mt Carmel etc. How exciting would it be for 1 of the Div I teams to host a state championship game.

I agree Vandebilt will be the favored going in but there will be some good games along the way with an upset or 2.
