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.

Recap: JSerra defense kicks ball 50 yards up field to charging forwards. Upland intercepts ball and kicks it back the other way 50 yards. JSerra intercepts and kicks ball back 50 yards to charging forwards. Upland intercepts and kicks ball back. Jserra player wearing hard surface cleats slides on artificial turf. Upland scores. JSerra loses. Baker recruits girl who scored.
 
I asked a friend if he watched the game vs SM last weekend and I mentioned how ugly it was.
He said Baker’s statement is “save that possession stuff for club soccer.”
 
Kickball over the midfield sounds exactly like HS Soccer.
Sure is hard on the parents to watch. By senior year parents are far more relaxed watching the crappy soccer. That’s when you realize it’s about the school spirit and playing with their friends.
 
But why is it so crappy? In So Cal, for the most part, the HS coaches are club soccer coaches. And many of the players have been playing club soccer for many years.
What does it revert to whack and chase?
