SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer South Aiken-Northwestern

There is no way Northwestern will score more than 2 goals on Goose.

My pick is SOUTH AIKEN 2 NORTHWESTERN 1

Jamal and someone else for S. Aiken

Arroyo for Northwesern

Hey German,
I already picked SA 2-1, with Jamal 2 and Arroyo 1. I believe the official rules say that the 1st post with the correct score wins the pot of money.

I agree, Northwestern will not win the game. They played less than a hand full of team all year. The score may be close, but not the game. Just like the Eastside game until they had a man tossed. Eastside completely dominated, and Norwestern scored two goals on defensive errors.

Go SA

People may say that Northwestern plays in a weak region, but they still played against more ranked teams than South Aiken...including a 4-1 record against teams in the final four of their division. Why do people keep putting them down?

Holy crap, don't count ranked teams like Emerald or CC...come on now, they get destroyed by the 4A powerhouses.

Consistently beaten, maybe, but I wouldn't say "destroyed"... Let's learn more appropriately descriptive verbs, shall we?

I picked destroyed, because that is the word I wanted to use. Tell me the last time CC or Emerald beat SA, Irmo, NW or DF.....

Don't underestimate the impact of coaching.Finotti has his teams ready for big games.If anyone can devise a strategy for neutralizing Jamal it is the Northwestern staff.
