The JL throw from thirty yards that actually went out at midfield? Hmm. The same one the refs didnt even understand? Hmm. The same goal that even the JL players questioned if counted? If you say the keeper wasnt paying attention then it looks like SCHSL needs to fire that whole crew of refs because they knew just as much about it.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! gettin' hot in hurr. Bernie tryin' to take his shirt off

Uhhh, play to the whistle? But hey, you lost by 2 so what do I know?

The only reason it was 2 was because south aiken pushed up late and JL Mann had a counter attack. Which would of never of happened if the refs were paying attention to the first goal.

So, what we're saying is, in part, that high school officials are incompetent? Once again, I'm shocked. Shocked!

I have watched (ad nauseam) poor officiating in high school basketball and football. Soccer is worst of all. I estimate that, last year, I watched approximately 40 high school matches. I'd estimate that the outcome of 5-8 was impacted by suspect officiating.

For a while, I thought itt was just my parental bias. Then, I watched 10-12 matches not involving mine, and I arrived at the same conclusion.

It stinks.

(Which is why you ALWAYS play to an audible whistle; you bust your tail to build an un-screwable margin; and you keep your mouth shut.

Backscreen,

Before you paint all HS soccer refs (as incompetent) with the same brush, how many of those 40 high school matches that you saw were played in York County?

Cause there was no chance at all that Mann could counter had they not scored an undeserved goal. I gotcha, my bad.

Coach used to tell us that you can't do anything about the refs, no matter how bad or good they were. Just something you couldn't guarantee. You had to go out there and play mistake free soccer.

I've seen some referees show up 20 minutes into a game and immediately start calling things wrong. What made matters worse was that he was wearing a bad bandana and danced around like the karate kid. Terrible.

Then you have the guys who can't even make a call in plain english. Trying to make a call using the thickest of Russian/Ukraine accent and telling you to shut up.

But then you have pretty good refs like Cameron Azzad (sp?) who even makes mistakes, but still controls the game like he is supposed to.

There seems to be a lot of talk about Brookland-Cayce and the upstate boys, but how about the Myrtle Beach boys.

In the lower state, as far as I'm concerned, there is a lot of talk about them possibly making a run this year. That is it is their only shot. I believe 11 seniors. Anybody know anything about it???
