Did they draw the paper slips yet?

There are still regular season games to play

Ah - most districts are done. Which team has the greatest chance to stumble before the paper slip drawing?

Probably south lakes?

Patriot District POY is goalie from
WP or Robo

Coach of year for Patriot?

Coach S from Woodson for taking what is one of the weaker teams in Woodson memory to 2nd place in the district. Impressive that they don't slip even in their down years.

How is 5-9, not slipping? No 10+ goal losses from 2021-2024, but three 10+ losses this season. Two best wins were each by 1 goal. Coach S may have done a wonderful job with a weaker team and great job with 2nd in the district, but unless Woodson goes on a major run in the playoffs, they have clearly slipped. Last season, they went 3-3 in the playoffs. Doubtful, they will improve on that this year. It seems nearly impossible to get above .500 this season. I'm not trying to troll, but hard to argue they haven't slipped based on the numbers.

2021 (11-4) 73% Win Percentage
2022 (17-5) 77%
2023 (17-4) 81%
2024 (12-8) 60%
2025 (5-9) 36%

If stats aren’t right, that should fall on the coach. They should be watching film and making sure they are right. Groundball, caused turnover, interception, assist (no more than three steps after the pass), goals and saves. No coach should rely on the managers keeping book or a parent.

Are the rankings known somewhere?

I predict WP easily wins first game and goes on to beat Woodson.

I like those odds. It’ll hopefully be another good game for wp and woodson if they advance

Woodson wins in a game of out coaching them!

Yes, I don’t have much confidence in my DD’s team stats. Thinking next year we might have a couple of knowledgeable parents keep the stats instead.
