LOL! No one cares about boys soccer and no one really cares about girls high school soccer. You really posted here about "girls soccer high school rivalry game" so you could brag about your kid, the forward? That's pathetic.

Not a lot of confidence by the players in the coaching right now. The team has great individually talented players, but they don't play like a team. The only goal scored by Madison was an incredible individual effort by one of our forwards to dribble through the center of the defense leading to a 1:1 put away.

Marshall on the other hand played more like a team. Marshall's defense was incredibly effective at limiting some of Madison's better individual players, particularly on the wings. Marshall has an incredibly fast forward who put pressure on Madison's back line all game, and several times was released on some incredibly great punting by Marshall's goalie.

The game tightened up towards the end as Madison spent most of the final minutes on Marshall's side of the field, but Marshall's defense and goalie repelled several shots, yielding nothing. It was a great game, despite the result.

Seems it must have some value if club players are willing to risk injury playing a couple of games a week for their school. It sounds like playing in high school is more about the social stature one gets off the field. Does playing for a state winning high school team mean anything to college coaches? How about individual offensive or defensive stats? It’s part of the building a resume, no?

Because the club directors say so. Pay attention to the town halls dummy.

District games start after spring break and those matter for playoff seeding.

Look at half the board posts and they are usually ECNL parents bashing their own coaches or some other club’s coaches. How is a parent commenting on the coach of a high school team any different? If anything the parent sounded like they were making an excuse for the loss. Big deal.
