Matt

Not sure how DLS did today but they were in the semi’s or finals of the So Cal Showcase today down in San Diego. Last year 0-3 down there. The coaches must have already made some adjustments or gave wake up calls as they are 5-0 since going 0-2 to start league.

i believe that this is HAAL future champion, there are going to be other teams very close to it but i think SLZ will come out with the crown in this league, what do you guys think?

Hey Matt

It would be nice if everyone would just discuss soccer and leave the comments out about public schools and their student athletes ability to maintain grades.
(comment #64)

At BHS we have someone involved in the soccer program that has been good enough to provide tutors for those that are struggling.

If people want to get involved in their schools athletic programs, this is a fantastic way to contribute.

Merry Christmas to All!

Not not really, the send offwas not warranted…The player lifted his foot and did show his cleats towards the oncoming player, but it was not in an aggressive manner to injure the player it seemed to be more in a protective manner. That exact player had 3 shots on goal within the first 10 minutes prior to being sent off for a questionable call, a booking, for sure, but sending off, I dont think so.

Regardless Newark has an outstanding team and will do well this season. I just didnt see it as an easy handling of DV. DV then played 70 minutes of an 80 minute game with only 10 players on the field.

I like to be fair to all the student athletes who work very hard during the season.

Deer valley plays on the same kind of field. Their home field is grass and now how to play on that field. You think the send off was not legit???

Mval, you dont seem to mention that DV had a player sent off 10 minutes into the match? Hmm, I wonder why? Also you dont seem to recall the DV defenders slipping on a below average, wet grass field, the one Newark consistently trains and plays on. All that being said, the referee wasnt as neutral as one would think either. I do agree that Newark is a very good team and has a great chance of doing some special things this season. My question is how many Newark players will still be eligible once grades come out??? Newark is for real, but I would like to see that game replayed on a turf field with neutral referees…

I think Newark is legit. Glad I got to see them.

Newark Memorial won again this afternoon against Deer Valley. They handled them pretty easily. Newark scored three goals in a row early in the second half to break a halftime tie.
