Should be a great second half and revenge factors for some.
You have a firm grasp on the obvious. SL Carroll, Coppell and Keller ISD in 7-5A. Lewisville ISD and Plano schools in 8-5A. 5-5 not so much with the exceptions of Legacy. Whatever districts have SLC, Coppell, Plano ISD and Lewisville ISD will always dominate the boys and girls high schools soccer scene. Throwing out Jesuit (private schools don't play by the exact same rules as the rest of us), schools in 8-5A have won the last three state 5A boys titles.
I'm curious as to your revenge factors - who against who?
Every year is different. I know you are still bitter about Jesuit not letting Marcus advance last year. The UIL will not take it away. 5-5A is coming on as a district this year. Legacy, Midlothian, Duncanville all have 10+ wins.
Now that most teams have played everyone once in district, I am sure there are several teams that want REVENGE in the second round of district play. Plano vs Marcus? Coppell Vs Southlake? Keller vs Southlake? Midlothian vs Legacy?
All of these have district championship implications.
Jesuit didn't disallow our second goal in that game last year, the refs did. Jesuit got lucky which is one of things you need to win state.
I order to have a goal disallowed you have to score it first. Marcus never scored a second goal in the game. Got close, just couldn't get it in. Great save by the Jesuit keeper.
Baloney. We have two seperate videos and a still picture showing it in the goal. Aubrey did a great acting job!!!!!! We know it was a goal and so does he. Poor kid!
The wonderful thing about refs is they don't care who wins. They just call the game as they see it.
I too have a video of the play. And it is easy to see the ball hit the keepers foot, clearly planted in front of the touch line and the ball bouncing straight up (shame on you for calling out a plyer by name). Never crossing into the goal. The conspiracy theory still exists. I suppose you were shooting from the grassy knoll. I suppose you also have footage of the last goal hitting the football goal post instead of hitting the crossbar. So it shouldn't have counted either. Conspiracy number two.
But then I could counter with the footage I have of Jesuit scoring a goal in the second half when the keeper was out and one of the Marcus players was clearly standing inside of the goal and heading the ball out as you see the Jesuit players celebrating the scoring of the goal. Lines judge ruled the ENTIRE ball didn't cross into the goal. Oh well. I guess he blew both goals. Oops my bad, different lines judge. Or maybe I could bring up when Jesuit scored a goal in the first half when one of the Marcus fullbacks tripped over his own feet and fell down. And the ref disallowed the goal. In this case disallowed is correct as the ball HIT the back of the net. So I'll give you your goal if you give me my two. Same outcome.
You're absolutely right. A private school that doesn't play by the same rules as everyone else wins state. Boy, I would be proud. LOL!
We play by the UIL rules. And, yes, I am.
And Jesuit's attendance zone is ...... DFW. Gee, that's not the same rules as every public school. Admit it, Jesuit has a special advantage. Why don't they win in soccer every year?Why were the only two private schools in the UIL in the state 5A final last year? Gee, they must be special. Enough Jesuit bashing, I find the idea of an all boys school in this day and age quite quaint. I'll finish with this little ditty - stranger, danger, Jesuit Ranger - after all, it is a Catholic institution. No more Jesuit comments this year. I've grow tired of listening to elitist bragging.
I agree. If they have such an advantage why don't they win in soccer every year? They have been in the UIL since 2003. And why don't they have a dominating football team. Maybe this mysterious advantage doesn't really exist. And why did it take 100 years for a private school to win a UIL state championship in a team sport? Must be the elusive advantage again. Personally I find any adult, bashing and bad mouthing young boys because they go to a private school or because some of them are Catholic, to be a very sad state. But after all it is the "good ol boy" state of Texas and is to be expected. By the way, could you point me to the post where the "elitist bragging" was? I must have missed it.
I'm not bad mouthing the soccer boys at all, the big J had a great team last year. I'm complaining about the institutions that allow this unfair situtation to exist (Jesuit the school and the UIL). BTW, smart boys don't play American football - at least most of them.
All the talk about the rigourous academics at Jesuit is the bragging part. I would be happy to put the GPAs of Marcus top 100 students against the top 100 from Jesuit. Just because you pay big bucks doesn't mean you get a superior education. Most people get out of an education about what effort they put into it. Successful students are going to be successful any place you put them. Perhaps, the average student does better at Jesuit? Perhaps, the average Jesuit student is sheltered from the realities of the world? You will never be able to convince me that Jesuit has better students than Marcus, Southlake Carroll and Coppell.
