    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    Seeding will be determined by noon on Saturday. I think coaches start voting today and closes Saturday morning. That way when coaches come together on Sunday for bracket placement, the seeding is already done. It will be interesting to see which direction teams will go for sure.

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    Agreed Splus04. I think it’s probably a 4-5 horse race between Moe, Mason, West, Creek and Boro. X doesn’t have nearly the talent they’ve had in past years and the Elks have lost a ton. Sure they both could string a couple victories together or pull off an upset, but it’s hard seeing them make...

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    Moeller will be just fine. That was a very good St. Charles team that returned all starters from their state run last year, including the ECNL POY, Sullivan, who didn’t play vs. Iggy. Moeller lost 8 starters from last year, so a tie vs this team is a solid result. Moeller is young and from...

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    You are a Moe fan and were probably at the Henry Clay game. Moe had a great goal in the first half called back on offsides. Karson Lang slipped a ball through the line as Charlie Bradley made an inside run from the wing. It was well timed and a great goal … Bang - bang play and the AR put up...

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    Here’s a still shot photo of when the ball was coming off the first forwards head. The rule in simple terms is no offensive player can have any body part that can play the ball beyond the second defender when the ball was originally played. Think of the second defender in soccer as the blue line...

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    Just goes to show you how good that defense was. They played the entire year without ever being behind on the scoreboard. Just incredible. Also, you have to consider how teams played vs Moeller too. Most teams tried to play a low block. They could not out-possess them and they knew it was...

    Southwest Ohio Division 1

    This Moeller team is young and a lot of their talent are Juniors, Sophomores and some Freshman. They are having a fantastic season during what most thought would be a transition year. However, you can’t really compare any part of this team to Moeller’s team last year. Last year’s team was...

    Tournament Division Expansion?

    I do like the concept of a Super D1 - top 64 schools. However, I would hope for the tournament, they would disregard location for region placement and just seed the top 16 teams. Currently the district tournaments are held at neutral sites anyway, so travel could be mitigated to some extent...

    Tournament Division Expansion?

    Be careful what you wish for by pulling out the private schools. If that were to happen, the private schools would likely just leave the OHSAA altogether. They would all become prep schools, compete against each other while also traveling regionally for top competition. They also would not have...

    What just happened with OSSCA Coach of the Year voting!

    I never said they have a dynasty. I just said they have a club-like envirnonment with good coaches and quality competition that the top club kids want to be a part of. I am not discrediting any of the fine programs you mention above. In fact, it helps support the argument of how well they have...

    What just happened with OSSCA Coach of the Year voting!

    How so? Every single player on that roster enrolled as a freshman. Those are pretty strong accusations, which are much easier to make behind a screen name. Honestly, it’s the exact opposite. He’s built a program and a culture that top club players from around Cincinnati want to be a part of...

    What just happened with OSSCA Coach of the Year voting!

    FYI, the vote takes place before the State Final game. Similar to player awards, it’s based on regular season performance and not post season success. That said, Moeller also had a regular season that likely will never be matched again. 17-0-0 with 16 shut outs. Coach Welker was absolutely...

    Centerville vs Moeller

    Additionally, why is no one talking about the incredible, all world save the Centerville keeper made to keep the game at 1-0? Moeller redirected a free kick to the back post with a header and the Centerville keeper dove backwards to push the ball with his fingertips off the back post/crossbar...

    Centerville vs Moeller

    Here’s what I would say about the corner. They were on the left side of the field and a lefty was hitting an outswinger. The ball was lofted and curving. The ball fell at the back post about 2 yards from the goal line when headed in. I would say the ball would have to defy physics to end up...

    4 Ohio Players Named to the 13th Annual All-America Soccer Match

    I haven’t seen Jack play, but well deserved for Bradley, Drew and Mason. They all had incredible seasons. Those three all play club together together at CUP. They should be a fun team to watch before these boys head off to college. That CUP team has several other D1 commits and recruits as well.

    Mercy rule in playoffs this year - good idea or bad idea?

    The fairest way to determine a champion is on the field. That means every team plays and we endure first round blowouts. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to spend money to watch it … so don’t. Save your money for district, regional or state games. Every David gets its shot at Goliath...
