Re: UNC 2024

Now that I have time to spell this out, this is what I am seeing from UNC... a glorified club team, and a young team. -Owen Duffy has played well, no knock on him and he's a freshman. The problem is everyone knows to quickly double on him. He is a good dodger but he needs to step back a bit, dodge,...

Re: Long Island 2024

12-2 Wave Halftime 20 to 4 blue wave Has Manhasset ever lost by this many before? Never in a million years would I have expected Manhasset to get put into running time. Especially considering they returned a lot of the defense that held Darien to 2 goals last year: they really miss their SSDMs and ...

Re: Tewaaraton Award 2024

Don't know what Degnon is doing there. Good player but not even close to Tewaarton level. HM AA at best IMO. I have watched almost all the #3 team in the countries games, and they have been in so many close dogfights, and everytime it seems that they need a big goal to stop a run, or tie or go ahea...

Re: Notre Dame 2024

"history of that"? Guy has played hurt and through rough injuries. Might recall him banged up vs. Duke last year's final. This carping about these guys is cheap, and petty. They are leaders of the most team-oriented and best coached team in the sport. Don’t even bother. A bunch of sour gr...

Re: Duke Fans

Duke had enough midfield talent that in addition to the players that were mentioned, the guy who was Princeton’s top attackman a couuif years ago is a third midfielder who didn’t get in the game today as far as I can recall. They have plenty of quality midfielders. The results this year just don’t ...

Re: 2024 top 20

JoeWillie: I think you need to punish Duke for this loss. It was close, they showed moxie coming back to tie it at 11 all, and ND is 1 or 1A with UVA, but when you’ve got a sold out home game, the wind is at your back. No excuses. If BU had beaten Duke like they deserved to, Duke would be out of th...

Re: Top 25 for 2024

9-4 LVille… Really impresssed with the Malvern defense. Probably the best collection of SSDMs I have seen in HS. I feel like the best bet to take down Lawrenceville will be St Anthony’s. Fearless kids. I don’t think Brunswick is the same this year they’ve been. Random Observer can chime in better; ...

Re: UNC 2024

Again, I just don't get the obsession with taking away McGovern's PT. Let's take away the team's top scorer these past two years, and its most efficient, non ball/shot dominant attackman (who has the only two goals for the Heels today). Matan is solid but I haven't seen enough yet to lead me to beli...

Re: New England West 2024

7-3 Brunswick at the half. Bruins came out flying and scored 4 goals in the blink of an eye. Darien stabilized with two straight to close out the first. Both teams have been sloppy in the second quarter: Brunswick has turned it over multiple times on the clear, and Darien got called for a moving pic...

Sadly I'm not so sure that will be the case given Darien's injuries. Brunswick is a...

Re: UNC 2024

I know UNC is not happy with how the season is going, and by no means is it over. With ACC matchups coming I would say UNC has nothing to lose because let me be honest this year was a rebuild/reorganize year. When you have a new OC and DC there are growing pains, on top of that you have two freshme...

Well here we are. Class LL is here with all FCIAC powers "opting up". But Cheshire (like last year) stays put. WE've been screaming for a clear State Champion for HOW LONG? And the Rams decide not to come to the party (again). They beat Prep last year for the SCC title (and if memory serv...

Re: Georgetown 2024

Flat coming out to start, sloppy throughout. Agree RD. This team can’t get away with this pattern in April and May. Offensively I truly am baffled at the majority of the offense being run from up top. Look at ND game as template for success - combo of Haley, Carroll and Vardaro creating from behind...

Re: 2024 top 20

None of that discredits my statement. He is very smart about his scheduling. Tends to avoid high profile teams. The idea that it is Duke and Carolina avoiding Yale is just nonsensical. Both routinely schedule Ivy teams. Calling Denver #1 is an obvious attempt to obscure and manipulate the facts. I ...

Prep wins in OT 8-7 over Darien. Maybe we will have another wild and wacky year where nothing makes sense. Hopefully :D . Not completely surprising with Darien down several key starters.

Re: IL midseason AA list

Definitely a lot of name brand selections occurring. For example, I love Graham Bundy, but Aidan Carroll has clearly been Georgetown's best offensive player this year (and he is also the exact same hybrid as Bundy -- a middie playing on the attack line to stay on the field, but operating above the ...
