I read some posts on here about the foul play of Orangewood Christian. I wanted to put it out there that after playing them in a district final in which they lost they played with class and good sportsmanship. Good luck to them in the regional.

I've never walked out of any of my (12+ games) thinking Orangewood was anything other than a hard-playing class act.
The earlier posts claiming otherwise seems to me to come from people who aren't used to hard-tackling but clean soccer or that they cannot separate the actions of one OW kid from the behavior of the program. -
Thank you Orangewood parents:) I have some swampland for sale.Comment

If you're insinuating that the first post is from an Orangewood parent, it isn't. It was posted by me (Ian Jackson), the head coach of Taylor.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The recent accusations about Orangewood and Providence being Thugs are coming from parents of middle school kids playing varsity at St Johns Country Day. In my opinion unfounded and biased toward the circumstance of playing against competitive, skilled boys three and four years older. It is a game of intensity, play or consider tennis. Just my .02 worth.Comment

LOL soccer guys talking tough. Football is a game of intensity and physicality. If you can't handle it, play soccer.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Soccer in High school is 80 minutes of running, moving, sprinting, diving, falling, banging physical play. In comparison, football is go your hardest and try to take a guy's head off, survival of the smartest, fittest and strongest BUT football, if you add the actual physical contact measures out to about 12 minutes of actual contact, running etc. Soccer is constant movement.. Something to think about...Comment

I thought about it. If you are measuring toughness, I'll take Gary Brackett over Leo Messi any day of the week.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
