CIF State Playoffs

There were some lopsided scores in the girls games, 14-1, 12-0, 10-0, 7-0 (x2), 6-0, 5-0. Those are not scores that you usually see in Regional games. Either the teams losing teams should have been in a lower bracket or the winning teams in a higher bracket.

My daughter was one of those scores that won 10-0. We are d4 and won CIF (the 12-0 and was also with the team that we beat 1-0 in CIF finals so they also were good) the team we played sadly was not competitive at all. I’m not sure how they even got into the regionals? I don’t fully understand the regional bracketing but they should of been in a lower bracket
 
Scholarships are no allowed for high school sports. The correct terminology is financial aid. A friend of ours son played football at a private Catholic HS in San Diego and even though the family made over $250,000 a year he got "financial aid." He ended up playing college football (full scholarship) for Oregon State before blowing his knee out. I also know a couple other girl soccer players who got financial aid to private schools even though the families had really good incomes.

Not splitting hairs here but you can get preferred admission with zero aid. Mater Dei or Gorman anyone?
With the DA you don't have to be scholarshipped or even get financial aid to participate in high school. You can get a waiver for "other reasons" which girls in private high schools here have been doing this year. I inquired and was told this.
I think there are always loopholes that will be used.
 
How about leveling the playing field with private schools? Tighter rules on recruiting and no loophole for scholarshiped players unless public schools have the same rights.

This is also US Soccer issue. As long as loopholes are exploited there will be no changes.
This affects rosters, play time, morale of teams etc but I have seen no consistency in application of rule. I for one am excited about their lack of follow through so I too can hopefully have my cake and eat it too.

I'm guessing you played Mater Dei CV?
 
San Diego Section Survivors

DII boys - #2 Torrey Pines 3-1 #7 Arlington and #8 Point Loma 3-0 #1 Aliso Niguel
DIII boys - #3 Del Norte 2-0 #6 La Quinta

DIII girls - #3 OLP 2-1 #6 Mayfair

Torrey Pines made it into the DII boys final Saturday, and a home game at that.

Del Norte has the DIII boys home game.

OLP made it to the DIII girls final, but they have to go to Flintridge.

I'm gonna say OLP is going to take it all this year. We played them this year and surprisingly won 1-0. Solid team with a stellar defense.
 
Mater CV does a poor job recruiting and their coaching staff are poor as well. Eastlake JV team would probably beat them 10-0 as well.
 
High schools should not be recruiting in the first place. And maybe they prioritize an education over sports.
Yeah, but they do. Mater Dei has more talent pool to recruit from, and for some reason they go after all the wrong athletes.

Flintridge's roster is loaded with talent as well. It's going to be a good match. Too bad they didn't get a home game we would have loved to come watch.
 
And you have first hand knowledge of this unethical practice?
That private schools recruit top players (All Sports) and give them tuition scholarship? I know you don't live under a rock.

I'll give you one better, Club Coaches luring kids to their clubs so they can make varsity.

No I agree with all that. But maybe the better kids you think they could and should get turn them down to go to schools with better teams. For example i know kids that play football that would rather go to a public school with a higher rated team then a private school in a lower division. Also friends play a big role in where kids go to high school regardless of the caliber of the school.
 
#6 Upland beat #1 JSerra in the D1 girls final. Does anyone on here have a recap of the game? I bet Baker was losing his mind.
