This was an exciting game to watch, and I'm thinking that there are a lot of teams (boys included) who would like to have some goalies of this caliber on the field next year. I will admit that I thought that this was going to come down to conditioning and that FM had the advantage. Too many Lexington players were not making their runs late in the game, and I thought that the Fort had it. They controlled the midfield for much of the second half and for most of the two OTs. Lexington dug deep and came up with a clutch strike when they needed it and they live to play another day.

Side note:
The referees missed calls both ways, but these are two tough, physical teams that know how to 'walk the line'and move on quickly. No one one the field shied away from contact, and I think that the refs 'let them play' attitude got a little out of control at some points, but that is better than too quick a whistle. There were some bad 'no calls' on offsides ect. but nothing that changed the outcome of the game (in my eyes). I wouldn't recommend this group of refs for the State Finals but they don't desrve to burn in hell either.

It was funny to hear the Lexington Boys side finally getting a chance to "speak" to the refs. I hope they don't pull this same crew in their next game.

Hey Book

#9 didn't have 3 players on her all the time - in fact she was only covered by 1 player (#3) and was backed up by FM's awsome defense. FM's coach is great and would never let them triple team one player. That's not how they are coached.

The refs were so bad I believe that the line man on FM side was colored blind. I got sea sick watching him switch his flag back and forth because he couldn't decide. They shouldn't have to burn in hell but they should go back to rec

Chico & Co.

When losing in the playoffs, it is wise to promote your enemy in hopes that it will in return make you look better. What I do fid funny is that you two have held your tongues all season long an only have spoken when Lexington's success was achieved. I dub you Fair Weather Johnsons and implore you to sport your "Y" chormosome during the regular season like the rest of us.

(Still a little bitter from the loss. This will wear off, I'm sure.)

don't know final score, but Riverside beat Mann

Hey FM, you sure do talk about Fort Mill as being great alot, I wonder why. I mean seriously listen to yourself go on about the coach, the defence, etc., etc.

I also didn't notice that Kira had 3 people on her all night long. I think it was more of the fact that she is all over the midfield trying to make a play thus she went from one opposing player to another. I hope some coach is foolish enough to put 3 players on her, because that means 2 of our other players are open.

W&E: I expect you are addressing me with your last comment, and I can understand your effort in building up the team that beat you which in turn make your team look better.
I don't want to get on here and brag and say we are going to do this or do that because it just might not happen, and I don't want to have to "eat my words". I guess my supply of "Y" chormosomes is fading as the years add on, sorry to disappoint you.

No disappointment. I'd rather you wait until the end to speak up than annoy the board all year long with post. I really do root for Lexington during the regular season, especially after having the opportunity to meet THE deahler. If Lex town takes down the Cavs (it looks like a possibility), I'll be the happiest person outside of midstate.

Exactly!!

LF Thanks - that is just why she wasn't triple teamed. We would be crazy to do that against a team with so much talent.

Usless Book - I have been a FM fan for a few years and happen to think the FM girls are great on and off the field. There are usually 3-4 at my house everyday. They are a close knit group that always have fun together. THey are also very smart. So boo me if you want but I will always support the Lady Jackets. And yes my daughter is #8 and I am very proud of her.

Whiskey & Easy: I'm pretty uncomfortable with posting very much about specifics in the girls high school thread; that's why I do it relatively little. Other than posting a score (no opinions) when no one else has, I try not to. What tends to engage me is when someone writes something that I perceive could be taken as derogatory and/or unfair toward any player or group of players.

I'm well aware that parents and players (and even sometimes coaches!) have a tendency to be biased. However, it is beyond me why people feel that putting down one wonderful player or group of players is the best way to make their particular favorite wonderful player or players look better. To me, it just makes them look mean-spirited and petty and often times in denial. Some folks, and some groups of folks, are worse than others about this.

In this particular message topic, it seems to me that there's been a lot of this, often to the point of absurdity. Lexington's defense not impressive? They held a very strong #1 ranked team in the state to a single goal and held that team to an approximately equal number of shots on goal -- all while two defensive starters were knocked out of the game. A player with two go-ahead assists in two periods in a 2-1 game doesn't stand out until the end? You have to wonder how many assists and/or goals would do it. I'm sure there are many more examples...

I'll be away from computers for the rest of the day (thank goodness!), but in closing want to again congratulate Fort Mill on a wonderful season. This group is a very well-coached team with many good players.
