D3 Cincy

[cincysoccer2006]

Scores I have collected:

Seven Hills 3- SCC 0
Miami Valley beats CCD
SCC 3- CCD 0
Seven Hills 5- Miami Valley 0
Summit 1- Fenwick 0
Fenwick 4- Middletown 1

Looks like the city poll is about right witht he top teams, and it also looks like they gave ccd way too much respect.

[cincysoccer2006]

great job summit over what has been perhennially a top notch team

[dutchkeep]

I'm not surprised that Summit beat YS. I am surprised by the score. Summit must be the team to beat this year in D3 in southwest Ohio.

[cincysoccer2006]

pretty lofty assertion there given one game score dutch, especially for a game that occurred this early in the season

[soccoachcincy]

I agree. Way too early to make such a claim. Cincinnati will be the toughest region to predict.

Seven Hills defeated the defending state champs. Mariemont has been dominant. Reading and Fenwick could be sleepers. Also, never count out CHCA or Madeira.

[cincysoccer2006]

sounds like soccoachcincy took some of preppys medicine over the summer!

[futbol10]

Fenwick-2
CHCA- 2

[dubayuw]

I was at the Summit-YS game and lets just say YS is a completely different team from last year. Summit played very well but it was pretty obvious from the beginning that YS was the far inferior team to Summit. Same with the SHS-SCC game, SCC lost a lot from last season. SHS should have beaten SCC easily and they did.

I can't see SCC of YS getting very far in state this year. Mariemont, SHS, and Summit are the teams to beat, definently.

[cincysoccer2006]

well then that should make this weekends seven hills mariemont match a great game to watch then shouldnt it

[swohiosoccer07]

i don't understand why everyone is hyping mariemont so much, especially with two teams as good as summit & seven hills. seems like like they are way ahead of them. is mariemont the best of the rest in d3 after those two?

[cincysoccer2006]

^^^^^finally Someone Said It!

[Sdad]

How did Summit stack up against Fenwick? The game was only 1 to 0 from what I can tell. Can someone give me more detail. Thanks.

[soccoachcincy]

Summit 2
CCD 0

[dubayuw]

Summit 2
CCD 0

hmmmm, thats closer then i would ever would of thought, CCD didnt seem very strong at all at the tourny with SHS, SCC, and Miami Valley but thats all i have seen of them

[cincyd3soccer]

a 2-0 victory over a weak CCD team is rather unimpressive for summit. Other d3 city rivals mariemont beat them 4-0 scoring all 4 in the second half

[dubayuw]

i don't understand why everyone is hyping mariemont so much, especially with two teams as good as summit & seven hills

well, D3 is so even, i bet 10 teams could have won state last year, and when people think D3 Cincy they think of CHCA, Mariemont, Madiera, SHS, Summit, and sometimes another team comes into the mix. Madiera lost there two star strikers which was the only reason they won so many games last year, and CHCA lost there two top players(one graduated, other went to milford) so they are going to struggle to maintain their performance from lost year. Meanwhile, Mariemont, SHS, and especially Summit lost very little from last year and will be able to keep playing like last year...

[SCD_Fan]

CCD had one shot the entire game. Summit had 20-25 shots. Once they got their second goal, they played keepaway for the last 5-6 minutes.

[cincysoccer2006]

summit 2- ccd 0
seven hills 3- scc 0
scc 5- ccd 0

my prediction for summit-shs: TIE
why would i say this?
scores don't just add up. like someone said, summit had 20-25 shots, they just didn't make all of them. you play differently when you are controlling the game that thoroughly, and in the words of terry nicholl: a win is a win is a win.

2006:
seven hills 3- mariemont 2
mariemont 2- chca 1
chca 2- seven hills 1
chca 2- seven hills 0

mariemont 2- ccd 2
seven hills 4- mariemont 1

mariemont 2- seven hills 1

biased report that i received said that this was a fluke win. anyone care to comment?

great job summit, keeping a great team in check.

[cincyd3soccer]

Wow just came back from 80 of the hardest fought minutes of soccer i've ever witnessed. Mariemont v Seven Hills.

Mariemont 2
Seven Hills 1

Both teams fought really hard for this one but it came down to mariemont defender cole miller marking out Michael Fink. Both teams had a lot of shots on goal from around and inside the 18 but rarely were they well stricken or on frame. The score was 1-1 with around 3 minutes left when Mitch White threw in a beautiful ball. After bouncing around the 6 for a while it was put in by Alex Arkelpane (sp?). Great game with great ending. The question now is where does this win put mariemont in the city rankings?

[dubayuw]

7hills-mariemont game:
I thought both of mariemont's goals were very lucky, they ball just bounced right for them in the box. A goal is a goal i guess but the seven hills goal was so much better than either of the mariemont goals. Its too bad it didnt end in a tie, both teams deserved it...

[theozone]

This is the Seven Hills team that shoulda/coulda beaten Princeton....

Seems like they are unlucky quite often

[shs_soccaholic]

both teams' best players were marked very tightly and very effectively slowed down by the team's defenses. I think Max Schimberg did a better job of taking out Mitch White than Cole did with Mike. Regardless of how the goals were scored, a goal is a goal. SHS and Mariemont both played extremely hard.

And in regard to all of this whining and moaning about the Princeton game, the game is OVER..FORGET ABOUT IT. A DIII loss to another DIII team deserves alot more analysis due to the fact they could see each other again in state.

[dubayuw]

HAHA, yea, I don't want to whine even more, but I just heard from a spectator who was on the opposite side of the field, that on Mariemont's second goal, the throw by Mitch that set it up was illegal and that his foot was way over the line. I saw this two or three times in the first half on the other side of the field and was wondering why the refs kept missing it. And it wasn't like it was a little bit over the line, his whole foot was way beyond the line...


But, either way, it was a great game, both teams play great, very very fun to watch...

[shs_soccaholic]

the game is over. Seven Hills has 11 more games left this season that hopefully they will be able to take advantage of.

[dubayuw]

you say this...

but then you say this...

either way, i will move on to say that Summit plays SCC this saturday and 7hills plays CHCA on this thursday, two bigs games this week in D3

Great Game. The Summit defense is quite impressive, having four shutouts already, with their new gk. however i must add that summits offense or lack their of is depressing. I most defintely see them not losing ANY games but yet also do not see them winning games.

2-0 victory vs. ccd?
With Dwyer and Priede (35 goals last year) playing up i expect much more against soso teams and even the best best teams like worthington christian. This weekend will

[soccoachcincy]

That's funny ... News to me. The team looked pretty together (without an injured Nico Posada) against the #2 team in the state. Teams are just packing it in and double-marking Priede. In 2006, everyone said the same thing when SCD beat CCD and CCS 1-0 . That team went 18-2-1.

I love how people like to stir the pot ...

[cincyd3soccer]

All I'm saying is summit needs a better attack. If they mark out Dwyer than summit doesn't have much of an attack. It goes without saying that their defense is very impressive but you can't win a lot of game with 0-1 goals on the board.

[cincysoccer2006]

summit 1- ccs 0
summit 1- ccd 0
seven hills 8- ccs0 0
seven hills 3- ccd 0 (2X)
summit 2- seven hills 1

great teams find great ways to win great games. summit was a great team in 2006 that won a great 2-1 game vs seven hills for the league championship.
a win
is a win
is a win

Exactly my point. I am not blaming either of those twos great performaners for not socring. Every smart team will double mark Priede and/or Dwyer. If not them to score then who. A win is a win, yes, but the only way to open up space for good players is to have an all around threat.

[cincyd3soccer]

Mariemont is stilll undefeated with a win against wyoming 3-0. The game was called at halftime due to thunder. Mariemont scored in the first 2 minutes and Wyoming was unimpressive

[shs_soccaholic]

has anyone seen chca play?
if so, how do they look?

This first poll (obviously) didn't include Cincinnati teams. Expect them next week. It's my opinion that there are three Div III teams in Cincy capable of winning the state championship. That's pretty unusual. Should be an amazing battle for that #1 tournament seed (Mariemont has a leg up w/ the early win over Seven Hills). Are the Summit games w/ Mariemont and Seven Hills before the draw?

Should be another incredible southwest regional tournament.

[soccoachcincy]

Both games come the week before the draw.

Great games this week ... SHS vs. CHCA tonight and SCC at SCD on Saturday.

I dont know many of the teams there, but SCC in the top 10 is completely crazy. They are not the SCC team that won state, not even close. SHS beat them easily and so should Summit on Saturday.

SCC was one of the better teams nominated.

7Hills 5
CHCA 2

7Hills was very dominant in the first half(was 2-0 at halftime). Then, after halftime, the CHCA coach got a red card and a few minutes later a CHCA player gotta red. The game was rough but SHS was almost always in command apart from a few balls played over the top that caught the defense off-guard.

[cincysoccercoach]

To clarify the cards in the CHCA vs SHS game. The coach got a double yellow not a straight red card. First time in my life. Was trying to protect my kids from rough play and no calls.

Seven Hills did play well in the 1st half and a few mistakes by our young players cost us the two first half goals. The red card was early in the second half and they went down to 10 men. CHCA scored on good individual effort 10 minutes into the second half and almost score again when a throw in was flicked to back post and was narrowly missed. SHS scored shortly after that making it 3-1 and we capitalized on a mistake over the top for the second goal. The third score by SHS broke our backs.

They are a good team and CHCA will look forward to playing them again in a couple of weeks.

[soccoachcincy]

No worries, cincysoccercoach. It happens to all of us sooner or later. Sometimes referees let too much go (that's not a bash) and we have to let them know. I wasn't there to see, but I have definitely been there as a coach. Good to hear it was a double yellow and not a red. I would miss you for our match next week.

Also to clarify as stated on another Web site ... We didn't run up the score ... Priede scored 4 in the first 15 minutes and sat the rest of the match ... as did most of the starters.

[soccoachcincy]

Exactly my point. I am not blaming either of those twos great performaners for not socring. Every smart team will double mark Priede and/or Dwyer. If not them to score then who. A win is a win, yes, but the only way to open up space for good players is to have an all around threat.

I wasn't replying to your post ... Someone else stated that there was "dissension" in the ranks (that post has since been deleted or thrown out.)

[cincysoccer2006]

^^ honestly a 10-0 score against st bernard is not running up the score. anything less thna a 10-0 win should be questioned.

[shs_soccaholic]

SCC was one of the better teams nominated.

i disagree with that. although Springfield Catholic is a perennial powerhouse, I just don't see anybeyond average aspects of their game. they have the other Latham kid, who should turn out to be an amazing player, and I think a kid named Marco in the midfield that is also pretty good but I don't see that being enough to be voted one of the top teams in the state.

I say this out of my opinion, I have no idea about the other teams voted, and I could very well be completely wrong in my assumptions.

[Gview]

shs_soccaholic-I wasn't saying SCC was great team or even a good team, just that they were one of the 10 best nominated. That's it, nothing more nothing less. What I would like to see is the top teams from Cincy in the poll, but we can only vote on who is nominated. Summit, Seven Hills, Mariemont maybe?

[soccer11]

So based on what Gview is saying coaches can nly vote on teams for the state poll that are niminated? It that is the case, that doesnt seem to make much sense to me.

[Gview]

Each district has a rep. That rep can nominate up to 3 teams. Then all the reps vote on the top ten from the teams that are nominated. If the rep doesn't nominate anyone then no one from that district will be in the top ten.

[cincysoccer2006]

no disrespect to scc because i have trememdous respect for the program and coach but even excluding cincinnati teams i dont think that scc should be top 10 in the state after seeing them play.

[Gview]

cincysoccer2006-Believe me, and I have seen several teams play this year that are/were/will be in the poll they were one of best ten that were nominated.

Finneytown @ Seven Hills tonight....always a good match between the teams. Thoughts?

[voltron]

just curious, when was the last time that a poll had no complaints and predicted the state champions and runner-ups? i'm guessing probably never in the history of polls. but everyone still wants to complain instead of just looking at them with that in mind, and the knowledge that there are flaws in them.

[cincysoccer2006]

just curious, when was the last time that a poll had no complaints and predicted the state champions and runner-ups? i'm guessing probably never in the history of polls. but everyone still wants to complain instead of just looking at them with that in mind, and the knowledge that there are flaws in them.

thats a very pessimistic view, that we do not have the ability to at least sharpen the accuracy of our polls. if we dont complain and argue then how are they going to get better? last year, 3 of the top 4 teams in the state were accurately predicted by the poll. the year before, atleast two of them were. and if the polls are not trying to accurately predict who the state champs and runners up are going to be then why the heck have them?

[cincysoccercoach]

cincysoccer, you are correct. And the polls have very accurately predicted the state top ten or at least top five. As Gview said in another thread, the state finals have had both teams from the top ten poll every year except when CHCA did it in 2004.

[voltron]

how would you change them from the current system so that it is - by your definition - fair across the board? additionally is it not an opinion based poll? how are you going to enforce your opinion upon others when you disagree with it? i do not think it is the system used; it is the opinions of the voters.

i'd love to see a more accurate poll, but my point is that no matter what you do, there will always be someone who has a problem with it. if not you then someone else. and how do you judge accurately? the state tournament results? or who people think are the best teams this week?

also, i don't agree or disagree with your point in this thread about the 3rd cincinnati team. i'm speaking more in general that every time i see a poll released - local, state, national, soon thereafter people are always complaining about it.

[cincysoccercoach]

If you try to quantify a poll by using a mathematical formula then people say it doesn't take into consideration the rivalries and injuries and weather. If you use an opinion by qualified coaches then there is a fear of bias for and against teams.

Personally I believe the coach's doing the poll is the best as long as you have people with integrity and experience participating in the poll.

[voltron]

i completely agree with everything you have said. the backbone of the current poll is the voters, and those voters staying educated on all the other districts and teams. leaving their bias towards local teams (or their own) at the door.

i think we are kinda arguing the same point but from different angles now. ;)

[Gview]

So now my integrity is being questioned?

[cincysoccercoach]

Gview don't be funny. Your integrity has never been in question and has always been intact. I can't speak about all the pollsters around the state but the ones I do know personally are quality coaches. They get to the games to watch, fanatical love of the sport, protect the integrity of the game, its players and fellow coaches.

[voltron]

no. not yours. the other voters.

[voltron]

gview said that sometimes dayton has three worthly of the top 10. other times cincinnati. if that's that case, then all three should be in. again as gview states that idea and also states that he thought they should. my point being that perhaps other voters - not gview - may not want to see 3 cincinnati teams in there and block vote with their local teams (or own teams). again. not gview. sorry gview. really did not intend to throw you in that mix.

[cincysoccer2006]

so i just realized what the problem is, they dont use MY poll as the actual poll. if they used MY poll, i would never have any problems and all would be right in the world.

So OSSCA, try and use my poll next time. I think all the kinks will be worked out then.

Thanks

[Gview]

cincysoccer2006-Send me your poll this Friday and I'll make it the State Poll for the next week. Then we can all ----- and moan about that one too. :) Just kidding, but that is what happens. Opinions are like -------s, everyone has one and they all stink.

[cincysoccer2006]

if you actually make my poll the state poll for the next week then i will indulge in this crazy experiment. i have a feeling my hypothesis will pervail and everyone will love it and never question it, BUT i respect the fact that you have a different opinion so we can try this out. I only ask that insteal of calling it "OSSCA STATE POLL WEEK 3," it is named "If you think this is wrong then you're wrong week 3."

[Gview]

I do like the name.

[SirStanley]

I'm late to this discussion, but I'll just add that the Div III poll has been remarkably accurate as long as Div III has been in existence. Going mostly by memory:

2000: Hawken (#1) was champ. They beat Worthington Christian (#4) in the finals. Madeira (unranked) and Mansfield Christian (maybe #6) were semifinalists.

2001: Springfield Catholic Central (#1?) was champ. Hawken (#2) was runner-up. New Albany (unranked) and I think Kalida (not sure of ranking) were semifinalists.

2002: Madeira (#1) was champ. CVCA (#3) was runner-up. Worthington Christian (#4) and Kalida (top ten) were semifinalists. SCC was #2 and lost to Madeira in the regional finals.

2003: Madeira (#2) was champ. Hawken (#4?) was runner-up (and beat #1 CVCA in the regional finals). Worthington Christian (#3?) and Van Buren (unranked?) were semifinalists.

2004: CVCA (#3) was champ. CHCA (unranked...may have had losing record in the regular season but put together amazing tourney run). Fort Jennings (#1) and Unioto (unranked) were semifinalists.

2005: Greeneview (#1) was champ. Mooney (#3) was runner-up. Worthington Christian (oddly unranked) and Kidron Central Catholic (unranked) were semifinalists.

2006: Worthington Christian (#1) was champ. Wickliffe (unranked) was runner-up. Madeira (#8) and Kidron Central Catholic (unranked) were semifinalists.

2007: Springfield Catholic (#2) was champ. Hawken (#3?) was runner-up. Worthington Christian (#4?) and Kidron Central Catholic (#5?) were semifinalists. SCC beat "#1" Madeira in the regionals handily.

I can't speak as well for the other divisions (and I think they've been pretty accurate, too), but Ohio's Div III rankings have been magnificent. With the current rankings, I think it's hard to have SCC in over Seven Hills, considering SH beat SCC 3-0, but eventually the polls correct themselves. And in the end, if you're not in the top ten (or based on the last 8 seasons...the top 3), you're not very likely to win that state championship. By my count, the #1 ranked team has won the SC 5 times in the 8 seasons of Div III. #2 has won twice. #3 the other.

[shs_soccaholic]

Finneytown 0, Seven Hills 0

pretty good game, didn't really get interesting till the second half though.

[cincysoccer2006]

"the rankings tend to correct themselves"

i believe that 100%. im just trying to expedite the process a little bit. a lotta bit.

[dubayuw]

Finneytown 0, Seven Hills 0

I thought SHS slightly outplayed Finneytown but it was a great game. Finneytown's goalie was great. Both defenses played well. Finneytown's offense struggled because Raskoczy was at defensive mid for most of the game, guarding Fink. SHS had the ball in the box a few times, and had some great shots on goal but they were saved. Most of Finneytowns shot were outside the box, there was one that challenged SHS's keeper but the rest we either way off, or right into SHS's keepers hands.

Summit is that good. CHCA is a good Div III team, but Summit was pretty overwhelming. No goals allowed in how many games? Eight? Very, very impressive.

Were you at the CHCA game or the Worthington Christian game?

Quite an early season schedule for Summit.

How do they match up with Seven Hills and other MVC teams?

Well, we will see in a few weeks when they play. BUT, Seven Hills beat CHCA 5-2 and it could have easily been 5-0 if I remember correctly(im not taking anything away from CHCAs goal but im saying that CHCA made the most of the very few oppurtunities they got). All I know, is that SHS vs Summit is gonna be one good game.

i was at the summit game and priede scoring 4 in the first half is good for him but shame on madeira for not putting a man on him. They let him go 1 on 1 with the sweeper way too much. With a not so strong team this year Madeira trying to attack a tough Summit defense with excess forwards doesn't even seem like a bold move... it just seems stupid. Excellent game for Summit though, another shutout.

Good luck to you, shs. It must be nice to have all the answers. I do think Summit is many, many goals better than Madeira this year no matter what we do. I'll be curious to see how Seven Hills and Mariemont fare against the Silver Knights. No question in my mind that Summit is a legit State Championship contender.

I do not have all the answers and I am not saying that the win was not well deserved, but Priede is a player that deserves man to man marking or special attention against any team. Overall, yes Summit is way ahead of Madeira, however, think if Madeira played their cards a little differently, they could have had a better result, although still in Summit's favor.

[cincysoccer2006]

lets not question a 2 time state champion coach with 8 straight district titles or call his tactics stupid please.

only i am allowed to call someones tactics stupid.

[shs_soccaholic]

i apologize...i don't understand his methods though

[Gview]

You don't need to. Just understand that he is doing what is good for his program.

I thought it was 10 in a row? And he didn't lose a game in 2002 and 2003.

[soccoachcincy]

I agree ... 46 straight games without a loss ... 8 straight district titles ... You shouldn't second-guess a two-time state championship winning coach. I have the utmost respect for what he has accomplished on the field with his teams and for the passion his players always seem to display every year. Besides, when Summit is 2-8 the last ten games played against Madeira, coaching tactics shouldn't be questioned.

[cincysoccer2006]

so now my statistics are being questioned gview!?

shenanigans!

[Whoknows]

Not that I don't have great respect for him and what he's done, but you can second guess anyone. I'm pretty sure he would have man marked Predie if there was someone who could have handled him.

[cincysoccer2006]

^^ next time just say "I have great respect for him and what he's done." Cause we all do. Great job coach.

[Gview]

Cincy-Mine was a question. Not questioning your stats.

[soccoachcincy]

Does anyone know who won between Reading-CHCA?

Does anyone know who won between Reading-CHCA?

Reading & CHCA tied 0-0 on Saturday.

[shs_soccaholic]

I apologize for my previous comments about the Madeira-Summit game. I realize that I could have worded my opinions much better and I have obviously crossed the line.

[cincysoccer2006]

haha gview i was playing on you asking if your integrity was being questioned a while back in state discussion talks. not serious at all.

[Gview]

I took it that way. I actually thought the announcer stated 10 in at last years District Finals against Lehman.

[SirStanley]

I have to thank cincysoccer2006, gview, and soccoachcincy for sticking up for me. Thanks, guys. I also want to thank shs_soccaholic for his private and public apology. All forgiven.

As for our defending of Priede, tactically we weren't doing anything differently than we've done successfully for the past many years against Summit and nearly every opponent we've faced. Of course, Priede is a special talent (and not the only special talent) on a special team. And we're not as skilled, athletic, or experienced as we've been in the past on any part of the field. Our 2-5-1 record fairly reflects this. I can't honestly say that if we were to meet Summit again that we'd do anything differently on a tactical level (we might, but I'm not certain we would). Call that stupid if you want. I know our personnel and what it's capable of pretty well -- certainly better than anyone else posting here. I'd like to think we'd execute better than 0-6 w/ Summit respectfully taking its foot off the pedal in the 2nd half. Summit definitely demonstrated some areas we will be trying to improve.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying watching Summit in its pursuit of what could be a historic season. I'll also enjoy watching some other very strong Div III teams try to stop them. This is a tough and unforgiving area for Div III soccer. It's no accident that 5 of the 8 Div III state titles have come from the southwest region. It wouldn't surprise me if this year makes it 6 of 9. We'll see.

Best of luck to all.

CHCA 2

Well-played match of two teams with very different styles. CHCA's build up style possession play vs. Mariemont's quick-strike, counterattack style of play. Both teams were able to do both very well. Mariemont is very fast in the attack and CHCA is methodical and accurate on set pieces.

Both teams will be very dangerous come tournament time.

[futbol10]

Fenwick 3-1 over LaSalle

[cincysoccer2006]

^^^ wow.

[tenyardsgiven]

seems like fenwicks a pretty strong team. how have they done against dIII competition?

[futbol10]

fenwick D3 results:

Summit 1
Fenwick 0

Fenwick 2
CHCA 2

Fenwick 3
Waynesville 1

all they've played so far. In the CHCA game, Fenwick came out flat, going down 2-0 by half. they came out at halftime very inspired and put two in, if they played like that all game, it probably would be a different result. (not taking anything away from CHCA, a strong program as always)

[cincysoccer2006]

fenwick sounds legit. watch out. my sleeper pick for d3 district champ (one of the 3 cincy ones)

[dubayuw]

^^^ no way, I cant see them beating Summit, Mariemont, or 7hills. There is just too much skill and experience in those teams. They are probably 4th or 5th in D3 in cincinnati but the top 3 are just too good. Maybe if they got a good draw in state

[cincysoccer2006]

thats why they are a sleeper pick. if they were the obvious pick then me and u would agree

[acmilan13]

Fenwick could upset someone in my opinion. More likely Mariemont than Summit or Seven Hills based on what I have seen. They have already played Summit tough (lost 1-0), and lost a close match with Moeller (L 2-1), beat LaSalle (3-1), and tied Alter (0-0). Their keeper, Drew Miller, is one of the best in DIII. Upsets happen in the tournament too. I agree with cincysoccer.

Fenwick is a much different team this year, with talent all over the field. They can compete and they will, only losing by one to Summit, has mariemont or 7hills played summit yet?

[cincysoccer2006]

^^ no they have not. both play summit last week from what i remember

[futbol10]

^^^ can't wait to see how they do.

[cincysoccercoach]

CHCA 0
Seven Hills 0

Good match back and forth with good chances by both teams. Crazy last 20 seconds as an SH player broke thru and chipped it over the GK and off the far post only to be cleared off the line.

CHCA had good chances too. Just a well played game.

[dubayuw]

agreed, good game

CHCA got 7hills out of their game early and they never were able to get up to speed, nice job CHCA

[SCD_Fan]

Summit beat Clark 7-2. Summit gave up a corner kick goal in the first half and the coach yanked the entire varsity team off. They didn't see the field again. JV team looked impressive. The same things happened against CCD earlier this season for a shorter period of time.

[shs_soccaholic]

finneytown - mariemont score??

[MVCSports09]

after watching the chca sh game, its clear that chca will be the team to beat next year and probably the year after. with very few upperclassmen this year, they will be a very good team as they already are now.

[Clobber]

Mariemont 3
Finneytown 2

[cincysoccer2006]

You sure about that one Mvcsports. I dont see why you would think this because the backbone of their team was their defense yesterday and I believe they were all seniors. correct me if im wrong

[floridafutboler08]

only 1 was a senior

[cincysoccer2006]

yeah, only one was a senior. get your facts right cincysoccer2006

[CakesYork]

:shrug: Is anyone one else as confused as I am by the post above?

[cincysoccercoach]

Cakes, he is "dissing" himself.

By the way, CHCA's back line has two juniors, one sophomore and one senior. CHCA starts 7 seven freshman and sophomores and only one senior. The remaining 3 starters are obviously juniors.

After reading about the Finneytown-Mariemont game in another thread, the Summit-Mariemont should be an interesting one....hope the ref is ready

SHS played their worst half of the year in the first half. The score being 1-1 at half. They came out in the second half and it took them 12 seconds to take the lead.

[cincysoccer2006]

just so everyone knows there is more than one person that uses this sn

[american football]

I know CHCA is young, but 7 freshmen?

I can think of 3 or 4.

Don't ever count out CHCA

A few years ago they were less than a minute from having a losing record and getting knocked out in the first round.

A few weeks later they were in Crew Stadium losing the State title by only one goal.

The regular season is used to prepare you for the post-season.

Summit- Mariemont game was one of the best games i have ever seen.

It really was a great game. Both teams played tremendous. Definite state championship contenders. It's a very strong year for Cincy Div III boys soccer, especially at the top.

no. nobody on earth does.

[shs_soccaholic]

why?

[soccoachcincy]

CHCA had their homecoming set on the same day. I would bet $100 that CHCA's coach was pretty fired up about that!!

All those young players from CHCA have had a season of experience and should be ready for the "real season" to begin.

Yes and the score was 2-1 Columbus Academy.

[cincysoccercoach]

Tournament draw is this weekend.

CHCA young players are still young but we have moved players around to stabilize our defense and it has worked out. Since the change we have four shutouts against Reading, Seven Hills, Clark and CCD in seven games. Hopefully defense will win games at least that's what they say.

[dubayuw]

CHCA definently has potential for an upset, although it seems unlikely.


When do the rankings for the tournament come out?
