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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

I don’t see a path where Moeller doesn’t make it to Regionals. They arguably have the two best players in the city in Poppell and Cooper and their CB combo of Segal and Miller are great too. They easily have the best Defense and Midfield in the state and there isn’t a team I’ve seen that matches...

I think you will see an uptick of games that end in 8+ to 0 score lines with the new mercy rule. There’s value in the better team ending the game ASAP. Traditionally you see better coached teams just pass the ball around the pitch for half the game. Now, I think teams will just try and end...

I don’t know that is officially correct. I don’t believe the OHSAA stipulates anything about home field requirements. However, the bylaws do allow teams to travel out of state for games: Out-of-State Travel A soccer team may travel out of state to compete in contest scrimmages, previews and...

I believe the rule is as long as the school has played a home game at particular location in question, it’s available for use in the tournament as a home site for district games (leading up to the district final).

From what I could tell, Mason had their team minus their one MF out with injury. However, he hasn’t played this year yet. Not sure if he will make it back in time for the playoffs. I think you have to look at a few things: 1 - this was Mason’s 3rd game in 5 days. They had Moeller on Tuesday...

Elder up on Anderson 3-0. That’s a bit of a surprise.

Mason down 2-0 at the half

Moeller off to a flying start with a 4-1 win vs Walnut. Dominated the game. Starters didn’t give up a SOG. Late PK given up by the reserves allowed Walnut on the score sheet.

Not all 1-0 games are as close as the appear. Moe keeper only touched the ball 3-4 times. I’m not sure Kings had a shot on frame. They did have a chance two minutes into the game but missed wide. After that Moe peppered Kings goal, but only broke through once. Should have been 3-0 and likely more.

St. X 1 Anderson 0 long throw flicked into the box ends up in the goal for X with under a minute left.
