    Just like to point out that these teams played twice I think. So he knew going into the game how the other team plays and he couldn't adjust to it. Obviously he was taking shots at the ref to. You can't blame a team for pushing or shoving if they can get away with it. I'm sure his team is good and probably looks great moving the ball around when they play lesser teams that probably sit back and hope for a mistake. When you play teams that pressure high and aren't afraid those portion teams tend to get nervous. It's up to the coach to figure it out. Simple answer from this dumb to the reporter would have been the team was a tough team to play against. We were right there just things didn't go our way today. Best of luck to amesbury.

      But maybe Doug can schedule some more games against cupcake
      teams to help pad the record as usual...

      “4th in the nation” but couldn’t get past Natick, a team with a
      much lower ranking and record. Way to go Doug!
      4th in the nation is BS whether Newton South prevailed or not. No one is in any position to evaluate high school teams and they rarely go out-of-state.

      Doug may be a terrible coach, but the best coach in Mass. can't do anything about his team hitting the crossbar once and the post twice. Just the way it goes.

        Totally agree. National rankings are absurd and Doug is indeed a terrible coach.

          Natick gets #1 deservedly so.
          Not sure about the next 4 losers

There are too many instances where referees reward, ignore or miss violations to Law 12 and not having more than 2 referees until late in the playoffs doesn't help this.
            One thing I would add to that is that in high school soccer nearly every official does games of both genders; compare that to basketball where there are few instances of that. What some of us consider rough play in girls is often not considered rough in boys. Some officials call the same game boys or girls (and at the high school level perhaps shouldn't).

              Natick vs. Wachusett - has anyone seen both teams play?

                No but the one who scores more goals will definitely win.

                  West Springfield legitimately no shots tonight. Goal was off an accidental hand ball in box.. Wachusett is so solid.

                    Forward #3 has HS speed which is above average. But not D1 next level. Is slight so bump around to set tone. Wachusett will be fine.

                      Natick play awful soccer but very effective. Lots of pace up top and talent in midfield.

                        Not saying it will happen. But when was the last back to back champion? Was it Haley Dowd ? Very hard to do!

                          If Natick wins Marshfield coach will say at the banquet great season we lost to eventual State Champion ......... again

                            Natick does not play awful soccer. They move the ball well. Last night they played 1 and 2 touch and strung combinations of passes together all throughout the game against a strong defensive Brookline team. Certainly not awful. Only time I saw them play this year.

                            Haven't seen Wachusett play, but heard they are very good again. Always tough to win back to back. Peabody just won the 1 title during the Haley Dowd years.
