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.

Agreed on the Duncanville comment. They may be the most overlooked HS team in 5A right now. The FM Marcus/Jesuit playoff game last year was the best HS game I've seen in a long time. It was an epic battle of equally balanced teams and was decided on luck and good fortune. Great day to be a Catholic.

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.

Agreed,110. You got robbed by the popes of the pitch last year...

KHS has some really strong and skilled kids but they played a lot of long ball to get in behind the Northwest back line. It was painful to watch in the second half and felt bad for the Northwest Kids. It was clear most or maybe all of the KHS kids had played years at the club level and were head and shoulders above Northwest.

there are a few very talented club players not able to play for nw due to restrictions

restrictions=grades????

club restrictions, AKA ussf academy

Thought the FCD Juniors were the only academy enforcing the no hs sports ban. Who else is doing that?

Exactly. Texans, Solar, Andro have no such restrictions.

Most of the top High School teams are full of Academy players. Now grades are another thing...

Whats going on with Marcus? Lost to Hebron 2-0?

If you can figure this question out, please call John Gall at Marcus High School (the varsity soccer coach). This year's team is inconsistent and definitely trying to find itself. Sort of like last year's Marcus team.

Maybe his priority changed.
I guess he is too busy coaching his 00s and 99s.

OR it could just be that the talent level currently is a little shy of what it used to be. There are many good teams in the immediate area so it is very tough to be the top dog year after year (ask Jesuit). Marcus will be fine - they have many good kids coming up through JV and JV2. If that isn't enough they can always figure out how to get a few quality "move-ins" (maybe Southlake can coach them on how to do that LOL).

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.

The Marcus and Jesuit banter continues over the game last year. Carry on as both teams are not as strong this year.

Baloney. We have two seperate videos and a still picture showing it in the goal. The goal keeper did a great acting job!!!!!! We know it was a goal and so does he. Poor kid!

Just curious since I wasn't there. Is your camera shot right ON the goal line or from an angle near midfield? Unless it's on the goal line, your video and picture are inconclusive and don't mean much.

Doesn't matter of the angle...ITOOTR

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.

Some great matchups tonight...Go attend a game this evening!

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 of a championship by a team that anybody in town can play on. Buy a soccer championship, send your kid to Jesuit! LOL!

We play by the UIL rules. And, yes, I am.

my child is not a jesuit student, though i am well versed in private education in n dallas. while jesuit is able to "recruit" students, those students must still maintain an acceptable gpa (a likely higher requirement than many of the public schools) to both play and stay in school while taking a courseload that is undoubtedly more demanding than most of the public schools. i am not attempting to bash public eduaction, but the boys that attend schools like jesuit or st marks or greenhill etc cannot simply rest on their athletic laurels, as their academic development is most important.
