Were you there? That scoreline seems pretty hard to argue with

Rivers is losing 2 seniors starters. they are bring in a great goalie.

Rivers loses its two center backs plus SS who has been their main set up man for TD. Getting RB and NS will help fill those holes but those are all key guys.

How do you know about a goalie the are bringing in. Does rivers have an early application program for soccer players I am not aware of? Do other schools do this?

Is every team represented for all-isl? Predictions for all-isl team?

Does it have to be a real team as well, like with only two or three forwards or just the best players at any position?

Impressive season for ACH of Thayer. To score 15 goals on a two win team is pretty outstanding. Plus with St. Sebastiens left he could overtake AK with a big showing.

How many players make the all isl team? how many from each position?

What a finish to the season - 3 teams can still win the ISL title. Lawrence is the only team in control of their destiny, Rivers & Milton looking for help from BB&N. All three teams are quality and may the best team win. Having seen all of the top teams, I think LA is the best with Rivers and Milton playing close 2nd. If Rivers and Milton played 10 times, I think they each win 5.

Let's look towards postseason. Rivers and Lawrence are definitely in for class B and Milton is in for class A. Question becomes do Nobles and St. Mark's make it for class B and does BB&N make it for class A?

The more ISL representation the better, but I have to think the non-ISL class A teams are better than those from the ISL. Berkshire, Worcester, Loomis, Kent, Exeter are all probably stronger than Milton and BB&N. I think the Class B ISL teams (Rivers & Lawrence) are as good as any team in New England, regardless of their classification.

Agree with these assessments. For the As, should be 7 locks (Andover, Berkshire, Choate, Hotchkiss, Kent, Loomis, Worcester). I suppose Milton gets the 8th, although Milton is not at the same level as these teams (I think NMH, who probably won't get in, would dust Milton). For the Bs, you have Brewster, KUA, Lawrence, Rivers, South Kent, Wilbraham, leaving Cushing, Nobles and St. Marks competing for 2 spots. Sorry- having seen them all play, Cushing is better than Nobles and St. Marks, but if they just go by records, both ISL teams get in.

goals in the 6th, 17th, 33rd, 60th, and 78th beg to differ

You seem pretty knowledgeable. What's your take if Milton loses to Nobles and BB&N beats or ties Lawrence (unlikely I know). How would the forfeit win against BH be factored?

I think they take NMH or Taft (which maybe they do regardless). Haven't seen Taft play, but you can check their schedule and record. In fact, looking at it, hard to see how they take any ISL teams as As- the challenge that a Taft or NMH faced week in and week out is just so much greater.

BB&N tied NMH at NMH. If Milton wins on Saturday I think they get the nod. If and a big if BB&N beats LA then BB&N has to also be considered.
