Maybe both teams were playing...GASP...long ball

If it works for the teams in the EPL, I think it's good enough for us in HS.



In my humble opinion...

The number of teams, and players, capable of playing a controlled "long ball" strategy in South Carolina high school girls soccer is not large. The fundamental difference between "boom ball" and "long ball" is that long ball implies both skill and strategy, while "boom ball" is best characterized by an instinctive reaction to kick the ball as hard as you can somewhere, anywhere, that you're not.
