Hi eveyone. If you were not at the game (WA vs. JI) you missed a doozy. JI had their groove thing on and were playing the way they know how to. Chelsea Terry and Co. in the defense were awesome, the midfield was rocking, and the offense rolled. Frawley, Battye and Gosnell are a force to reckonded with. A beautiful game played by every single Lady Trojan and one to be extemely proud of. I hope Wando took note because they will be coming to our house very soon. There is more of that where this came from and payback can be sweet. The Lady Trojans are hitting their stride!! Fanofgrits

my post was NOT written from a sore loser. they did waste time. as i watched the clock 5 minutes started to tick away as an injury went on and im not saying that i think the injuries were faked by NO means. but the ref told the WA girls that they would not go by the scoreboard clock and that they would be doing stopage time (as one would expect) yet when the scoreboard got down to 0 the ref blew the whistle and if i remember correctly, WA had the ball at the time. but aside from comments about the game, JI be warned, WA will have it out for you at the end of April when you come to THEIR HOUSE. Even though you guys played a respectable game at the Backyard, it will not remain true on April 26th (??).

This rivalry sounds exciting!!

My, my, my. There you go again. I am still sensing some anger over the loss. The game is over. WA will have it out for JI????? Be warned???? Now there is some good sportsmanship for ya. Good luck to both teams, and may the best team on that night win.

To change the subject:

I'm not sure why the score has not been posted yet, but the Greenwood/Hillcrest match scheduled for Friday was actually played Thursday night with Greenwood winning 3-1.

Dad, are you a Greenwood or Hillcrest fan?

Greenwood.

we will see how it goes nect time for WA and JI

JI is in for a surprise on the 27th. If they think they played WA on Friday they are mistaken. Even in the second half when WA started to wake up and realize they were down, they still weren't themselves. And I can see the sore loser comments coming now. So, not to take anything away from JI's win, because they did soundly defeat the top side in the state, or at least the girls wearing the jersey. They need to understand that that was not WA. Also, who ever said JI played beautifully has never seen a pretty game of soccer. From both sides it was an ugly game of boom ball. JI back line was strong, but incredibly predictable. JI will, and does have the momentum because they beat WA, but they better hope for their own good that Fridays game was not their best.

Three games later we still know nothing about who is number one in this region. As always it is going to come down to who wants it. Friday night, JI wanted it, and they took a little something from WA. The girls at West Ashley are fighters. And now James Island gave them something to fight for.

Not to beat a dead horse (ok, to beat a dead horse), but what part of the JI back line did you find "incredibly predictable"? The part where they didn't give WA a clean shot on goal all night long? That's the kind of predictability most coaches strive for.
