Who is going to make a run?
Looks like anybody's game depending on the day. Lots of parity among the teams which is good for the league and for the fans. The top 10-12 teams can knock each other off on any given day. Thoughts??

I must have typed sex instead of six and it was censored.
I'm done posting for the day.

D2 is top 2 and a lot of parity below but MB/Smithfield should be in the finals - they play tomorrow in perhaps a preview - both should move up to D1 next year
D3 - lots of parity among Top 6.. boys playoffs should be more interesting than the Girls except who makes it out to play LSA in D1 girls.

There's 10 teams that can consistently compete with the upper tier of Division 1 . Then there's the bottom 4 or 5 who beat up on each other to get their two - four wins. Then there's CHARIHO. Most of the bottom five division 1 teams can put together a good year and get to the middle third tier, and occasionally one of those bottom five make it to the top third, but CHARIHO has overstayed its stay in Div 1 and should head back to Div II, and most of the bottom five never have a chance of competing for a championship.
Since they added fall football CHARIHO has struggled to field a competitive Div 1 squad. East Providence is another squad that has struggled in the last decade only occasionally making it to the middle tier, and then Cumberland which does its best to be competitive each year, but never a real threat. Probably better to have 12 team Division 1, 24 team Division 2 Metro and Suburban Division, and the remaining in Division 3. Call it Division AAA, AA, and A, or L(arge), M(edium), and S(mall). Have a Division 1 Championship, a Division 2 Championship of the two subdivisions, and a Division 3. At least the team competing in each division have a legitimate shot at a state title.

Chariho, Cumberland, EG, EP and Tolman (tolman having a good season but typically struggle) usually make up the bottom 5, every year one of them break into top 10 Tolman this year. Central, Shea, CF and Classical always trying to break top 5. NK, SK, Portsmouth, Lasalle, Barrington and Hendricken usually round out top 6. If you make a group of twelve teams it just mean the bottom 2-4 teams will struggle like 15-10 already are. You will still have winless / 2 win teams in the new division.

If you look at the last 3 season 14-15-16 and award 3pts for a win and 1 for a tie it's easy to see who belongs. The ideas that school population has anything to do with soccer program is ludicrous.
1.LaSalle - 108pts
2.Shea - 90pts
3.Hendricken - 87pts
4.Sk - 84pts
5.NK - 68pts
6.Barrington - 63pts
7.Portsmouth - 62pts
8.Central - 59pts
9.CF - 52pts
10.EP - 50pts
11.EG - 49pts
12.Cumberland - 43pts
13.Tolman - 26pts
14.Chariho - 17pts
***Classical only has one season. 7-4-3

First thing is RIIL needs to place an even number of teams in each division. 16 in each opposed to 15 teams in D1 and 17 teams in D2. They also need promotion and relegation style. It will keep the bottom teams fighting til the end and make for exciting soccer all season long.
2018 season
D1
1.LaSalle
2.Hendricken
3.Moses Brown
4.Mount Saint Charles
5.North K
6.South K
7.East Greenwich
8.Portsmouth
9.Barrington
10.East Providence
11.Cumberland
12.Central
13.Shea
14.Tolman
15.Classical
16.Central Falls

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBring up Moses Brown and keep EG. EG dominated Div 2 for years and has been able to stick around the bottom middle of the pack. Classical is new to the mix and are doing well. Shea is always in the top 6. Central Falls is always competitive. There is a solid 10, and I would think the bottom 2 would rather play Div 1 then beat up on Div 2.
MB 11, Barrington 2
How did RIIL not move MB up this year?

Coaches, AD's and Pricipales are sent a form every year asking if they would like to stay or move up divisions. Shame on MB for wanting trophies. Based on the formula they probably do not meet the requirement to move up do to male student population. With that said Private schools population shouldn't effect the scale as they can hand pick student athletes. MB coaching staff new exactly what they had coming in and could have requested the jump even in a off alignment year. To bad the lost to Smithfield will be a blemish and we will never know how they would perform against the likes of SK, NK LaSalle and Hendricken. Next years MB team will come up but won't have they same bite as this team.
