GOOB, please, make your sentences understandable! "Well just look at some other posts on other threads around this site and tell me that they are not crying CC earned their state rings yesterday" After reading over it a few times, I finally get it, but seriously, if you want to make an argument, make sure your "opponent" understands what you're trying to say, or it doesn't work. Learn how to write. Secondly, we're not blaming the refs for our loss. There's three things that you cannot change about the game: The field, the refs, and the weather. We know this. We have every right to complain about it, because we didn't expect the field to be as wet as it was (nothing we can do about it), and we also felt that there were a few calls that the refs should have made that weren't (again, nothing that can be done about it). We're not saying its they're fault, we're just complaining, letting those who may have the power to change this know, that we are concerned. Our keeper isn't under average, nor did he not cleanly save balls all day. The only goal, in overtime remember, was a shot off of a deflection from the post to the opposite corner. It was a nice goal, I must admit. Besides, for a beginning keeper that hadn't played keeper before entering high school,while many of us have played soccer since we were kids, he's not bad at all. He made all-region. We know Emerald never had a problem with the SAT stuff, because the Emerald coach wanted to schedule the game AFTER the SATs, while our players would have to miss the game, and their players would be able to make it. Besides, CC is much closer to Emerald than AM is to Emerald. It was much easier for ya'll to go and play them on a regular day (Spring break btw), than it was for us to make hotel arrangements, skip the SATs, and travel up to Erskine to play two games in a row. We won the West Ashley Invitational tournament just fine without some of our players that were on spring break. Yet that's what you blame your 4-0 loss on. Also, get your subject verb agreement correct buddy. "you guys could have taken it like a man" seriously, "taken it like men." Apparently you didn't do too well on your SATs. We weren't the ones not honoring what we had said, Emerald changed the times. We were going to go (without the SAT-taking Juniors) to Emerald, until they changed the time. Seeing as we go to the ACADEMIC MAGNET, we have some priorities, like getting into good colleges that most of us hope to play at least intramural soccer for. We're also a 1A high school. Emerald is 2A. Congratulations on noticing the difference and why we're not in the same division. 2A schools have more people. GASP! A REVELATION! You can afford to have missing people on your team. You have a greater selection for a soccer team, and thus, can easily replace missing players with those that are not as good, but still decent. Coming from a school of right around 500 students, where many of the kids focus on academics and don't play sports, we have a very low turnout for many sporting events and activities. Therefore when some of us are away, its hard to replace them. But you wouldn't know anything about replacing players would you. Its what you blame your loss to CC on. We don't have "key" players, we're a team, but again, you might not know much about that... Finally, how would you know how the AM team played? Weren't you too busy losing to BE?
