    2014 Girls HS Soccer - Mid year+ predictions

    I realize that there are a couple of other threads out there on Girls HS soccer, but the threads have gotten way too long and there is a lot of garbage in them. Curious if people have predictions/thought on which Div. 1 schools will do well in the playoffs. There are few teams that I thought would be strong this year (OA and last years champs NN) that aren't showing as well as expected and other teams (AB) that seem to be stronger than expected.

      My prediction is that a Wachusett parent started this thread!

        Wrong. I'm a Franklin parent. I started this thread because the other threads were full of Wachusett discussion and I was tired of it. Just wanted a clean thread to get some good discussion going instead of all of the bashing in the other thread.

          Ludlow

              D1 - South
              Needham
              Franklin
              Walpole
              Weymouth
              Natick
              Whitman Hanson
              Marshfield
              King Phillip

              Not sure who else is D1 South but it will come down to Needham vs Franklin unless these two teams have some major injuries. Walpole and Weymouth are my other semifinalist in the south. Both have dangerous strikers that can change a game if allowed.

                Bishop Feehan will be there; they play in a weak league so will be a top seed (1 or 2). They have been to the sectional finals recently (2010 or 2011). You are also missing Mansfield which may be a year a way from being a real threat

                    Needham has a big game against AB this weekend. Will be a good test.

                    What happened to Newton North this year? I thought they would at least be in the hunt. Good coach. Did they lose a lot of starters?

                        South Only D1

                        You heard it hear 1st: no particular order and their weak spots.

                        Bishop Feehan=weakness in schedule
                        Franklin= weakness plays to conservative for talent
                        Needham=defensive breakdowns and big game syndrome
                        and someone else for south semis:

                        Last spot will come down to the luck of seeding, teams lucky enough to avoid these 3 in the round of 8, they are all tough to beat at home. Something to look for who is playing their best soccer last 2 weeks of Oct. and injuries(North Attleboro would have been a contender until their best player season ending knee injury).

                        3 to watch WH,Walpole and Marshfield

                        The old guy

                          Great game in Franklin today. Franklin beat Central Catholic 3-2. CC is a really good team. Best competition Franklin has seen all year.

                          Any score on the AB Needham game?

                            Did the big girl with the psycho mom graduate or is she still there?
