D3 Cincy/Dayton Tourney

 
Two things in this bracket has surprised me thus far. I expected Reading to CRUSH Deer Park, no offence DP, but they only seemed to get away on a 3-2 win. Of course that was a game ago, but still that was my expectation.

Also, what was the deal with the Mariemont/Summit game? I expected Summit to beat MM, even though they seemed like pretty even teams, but in the tourney MM beat Summit 6-2. Was weather a factor? Anyone at the game?


And if I may comment on the DII tourney so far, I was quite surprised to see Batavia beat Wyoming 3-0, I thought Wyoming had a win handed to them. Also, I really sympathize with Finneytown. I played keeper when I still played soccer, and I know what Smoker must be thinking about the McNick game, but I'd just like to let him know that it happens to the best of us (Smoker's damn good, so we know it does happen to the BEST of us) and not to dwell on that one event. He, along with his team, had a great season, and should focus on that!

SHOCKED by MM v Summit score...i thought MM had a decent chance at upsetting Summit but i didn't really think it would happen especially by that much...from what i heard the weather had a huge part to play in it, with the turf being that wet the ball moved so fast and with White's pace he was able to tear Summit's Defense apart...unfortunate for Summit but the do not graduate anyone so they will have a very strong team next year
 
Mariemont & CHCA should be a great game. I'm thinking about going to that one. You could probably flip a coin here but I'm leaning towards CHCA.

Also, I'm picking Madeira. I just think the Bascom/Templeton duo will be too much to handle. They just always seem to peak at tournament time plus they have history on their side & have one of the best records in the city. Having one of the best coaches around doesn't hurt either.
 
^^^You forgot to mention that they EARNED the easiest bracket (besides SCC, but that's a different story). None of the games will be easy for the district final, but they won the easiest game that is for sure.

Marimeont/CHCA should be great, but I think CHCA is the better team. However, as Mitch White showed, one player can change a game.

No offense to the Summit goalie, but he didn't have a great game at all. I was told that it was his first year playing soccer.......EVER!!
 
Personally, i believe Nick Williams for CHCA is better than Mitch White for Mariemont. Williams impacts the game more than any other individual. Williams gets my vote for the best player in D3, at least in cincy.
 
Yellow Springs beat Dayton Christian 3-0. They several good players. They will not be an easy out in the tournament.
 
The GK for Summit was not a soccer player prior to the season. The #1 GK tore his ACL back in August and they have been shuffling different players into that position all season. That, the weather, youth, plus Nick Posada broke his ankle a few weeks ago, was just too much to overcome.

I commend coach Baker for the job he did this season!!
 
SCD Fan, you failed to mention another thing we couldn't overcome ... Mitch White and Mariemont. But, we do appreciate the praise.

Good luck to everyone still playing!

sorry but nick williams isnt even close to mitch white
 
madeira 4 lehman catholic 3... in OT, bascom had the winning goal. from reports sounded like it was a good game between the two teams
 
Bascom's a beast. The guy is a scoring machine. Another District Championship for Madeira. Those guys amaze me. They just keep winning year after year after year. Anybody know who they play next?
 
from another post, yellow springs beat seven hills 3-2..it went to a shootout where yellow springs had 4 and seven hills had 2, a great season for seven hills.
