Great goalkeeping in the AAA and AAAA boys games. Top-notch players all around. Not one goal was scored in those games and those guys had a lot to do with it.

Amazing day of championship soccer matches. High level of play all day. Congrats to all the players and coaches.

Did no one else think the forward rotation of that ball stopped the moment it was deflected by the keeper? It was hard to see on the live stream, but the way it appeared that should've been a dead ball kick over the moment the forward rotation stopped ie when the keeper saved it.

According to NFHS rules it is a goal.

You are correct, I just reread that portion in the NFHS book it says until momentum is spent. Sorry, got my two sets of rules confused.

What a way for the State Championship Weekend to end! Good games all around. Enjoyed today. Referees were questionable during certain games, but overall not bad. 3A Championship refs were a great crew. Congrats to all participants in the games today!

You are correct on one the the refs were questionable, but in all of the games- especially the 3A game they were horrible- go to Greenville on line and view the 200+ photos of the game. You will obviously see that the game deciding call didnt occur the ref reacted to the opposing teams players- you will also see some horrible fouls that werent even called-or as the person who was blogging the game termed them "questionable non calls". The 3A game was evenly matched and should have been decided on the field not by the ref

You can't see any handball in any of the pictures. And to be honest a still photograph is not going to justify a play on the field.

What a great job by the Staff at Gilbert High School hosting the Finals. There were lots of bad comments on why this school was selected for these finals and painted such a negative picture of this facility. The only people-players-coaches-fans-parents etc. that didn't come to this event are now the only one's complaining. There were some very good matches Friday and Saturday with several going the full distance to be decided by kicks from the mark. Thanks to all the volunteers who gave up there time to help make this a great venue from start to finish. Kudu’s to AD Barry Harley who put in some late hours getting the complex ready and also lining the field and yes they were very straight. You don't see that very often.
