THAT KID BRANNAN IS GOOD!!! NICE COMPOSURE!!! I AGREE BC GAVE THEM THE ONLY TEST THEY'VE HAD THIS SEASON!!

I would not say the only test. They lost to Dreher in pks and beat Dorman 3-2. So what does it mean? nothing,it is all a question of matching up in the game.

The only way to hang with NW is to challenge every ball and NW possession, as BC did. If you give them any room at all, you are dead. The only thing NW needs to work on is its fans. Still screaming for more goals when they were up 7-0 and constantly screaming at Farragut players by criticizing them by their specific numbers. But of course, the fans can never be controlled.

NO KNOCK ON DREHER BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST GAME OF A PRE-SEASON TOURNAMENT AND NORTHWESTERN HASN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE.

That's the pot calling the kettle black. I mean coming from a team that "kicks the ball or you" . Yes BC did play behind the ball......I bet the "Head Coach" form Faragut is wishing he had done the same!!!

ps. the gk for nw batted the ball in the goal and lets not talk over reacting to fouls too.

Disclaimer: NW is VERY good and they play an attractive brand of soccer but it is as direct as I have seen. Kropp and Co do a great job of holding up the ball. But all 8,20,11 and 13 do is bang the ball up top and it goes from there. 8 a lot better than the rest from the left side. Kropp is as a complete forward that I have seen in years. I mean that guy does it all.

wow how about be glad that your team is that good and shut your mouth. A team like that comes around once in a few years. If you're not one of them (which your coach made so abundantly clear you are not) why are you even talking? You personally didn't put in the time and effort it took in club to get the way NW is. I'd like to call you a few choice words but I'd probably get banned so I'll just stick to the customary "jerk".

Your a good team NW but get off your "high horse"!!! Be on a "high horse" whenever you win state which you have not done yet!!!

yes, NW plays directly. The difference is that NW plays directly to their forwards who then hold onto the ball and wait for the rest of the team to catch up so they can attack as a unit. BC seamed like they were hoping for a forward to turn and beat a defender and take it to goal. They rarely held onto the ball and waited for the defense to catch up to them.

You are correct. But......

That might be the best way to attack NW. To me their Center Backs and GK were their weak spots.
