Re: MIAA A Conference
Anyone see the JC/Curley game? Low scoring affair.

Re: MIAA A Conference
Saw it. Was a typical early season game. Some good lax, but some ugly too.
JC jumped out 4-0 early. JC looked strong out of the gate and it looked to be lopsided. Curley started to possess and was content to shorten the game. Curley was athletic on defense but didn’t have a lot of threats on offense. JC’s goalie had a lot of saves.

Re: MIAA A Conference
4-0 then JC only had one goal after that? Did they play with a shot clock? If so wouldn’t JC get the ball if Curley kept milking the clock? clearly the score doesn’t reflect that a lot of goals were scored. I didn’t see the game so I’m just trying to understand the logic behind curley milking the clock since the shot clock is supposed to stop teams from milking the clock. To only score 5 goals total against a B team is a little alarming for JC in my opinion.

Re: MIAA A Conference
Not sure the B conference is using the shot clock this year. So that may reflect the score.Juslaxin16 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 10:50 pm 4-0 then JC only had one goal after that?

Re: MIAA A Conference
It's my understanding the B is playing 2019 NCAA rules with 2018 timing/clearing/stalling rules. So in the B, dive is legal, no shot clock and refs determine when the 30sec. shot clock is applied. However, if a B plays an A, all 2019 NCAA rules are in play. So there should've been a shot clock. This speaks to a different issue with lacrosse. At the high school level, there are 3 different sets of rules (NCAA, Modified NCAA and NHFS). Crazy.

Re: MIAA A Conference
JC is in my back yard so I usually stop by if the lights are on. This one was a weird game to watch. 80 second Shot clock was used. There were plenty of shots. Just not good ones. It was a poor shooting day by both sides. As I said, JC jumped out early, but they missed at least a dozen open looks after that. Wide open with the goalie and then didnt even hit cage. Curley did a good job of possessing when they got the ball. There were multiple times that Curley got a shot off at the end of the clock, JC’s goalie made a save, but didn’t hold the rebound and Curley got the reset. It was an odd game. But both teams seemed to play hard though.

I watched the second half on the BL locallivetv link. Culver was firmly in charge, but it sounds like BL might have been missing a few key players.

Re: MIAA A Conference
Back to conference play this week. Looking at the OOC play and looking at common opponents is there every one that can knock of Calvert Hall? Or will they just go undefeated all the way to the ship?

I like McD this year I’d like to see a McD V BL ship but Hall could trump BL either way this is the Eagles year!

Re: MIAA A Conference
That's true. It's also true that missing a few key players is just an excuse to gloss over how thin a squad is. It's been 5 short years since BL's best team ever (and certainly one of the best HS lax teams ever assembled, so good that there was no room for Pat Spencer - said half in jest btw, because I think had Coach Shriver benched any one of Chell, Stanwick, or Shewell, Spencer would have done great). BL has been good since, just not great. That is the case this year as well; good, not great, and suspect at the most important HS position, FOGO.ctbagataway wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 5:44 pm I watched the second half on the BL locallivetv link.

I'd expect a thorough thrashing by Brunswick of CT over BL tomorrow night. The MIAA still gets every other team's best shot, and when any one of these teams sense weakness in a MIAA squad, they'll absolutely pour it on if they can. Brunswick is as good a team that BL will see this year (zero weaknesses, deep bench, animated), with a FOGO who will win literally every single FO against BL. BL's best option is simply to try their best to slow the game down; they will not win.

It's been 22 years since BL's best team ever though.
Re: MIAA A Conference
Wow, pretty confident assessment. Brunswick is a great team but lost a ton to graduation. Having only played 1 game, I don't think anyone really can know how good they will be this year. They certainly are capable of beating BL and I think probably will but nobody is going to lay a "thorough thrashing" on either of these teams.Peter Brown wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 8:26 amThat's true.

Re: MIAA A Conference
Loyola with a tough Towson team today. Expect a game from the Generals, but LB should pull away in the second half.
