Wow

CW is an example of a coach that gets a lot out of a very limited amount of talent. CW improves as the season goes on - the mark of a great coach.

Congrats to the Bay View girls on their first win of the season.... beating NK 2 - 0.

looks like NK's downward spiral has begun

I think it is 4 losses and a tie in their last 5 games (since beating LaSalle)

Mt Hope and NK have it pretty easy for the rest of the regular season so they 'should' put up 4/5 wins. LSA/Smith/Cumberland will beat on each other which will skew the standings, but they should be well prepared for the playoffs. Cumberland will need to work hard to stay ahead of NK for the 4th slot.

So good that he lost to Cumberland 6 to 2 in his next game. Not a great coach.

Mount Hope playing better now. They will win out regular season.
Smithfield still favorite followed by LaSalle. NK or Cumberland complete final four.

LOL. Smithfield may be your favorite, but you are in the minority. If anything, Smithfield's play is declining. Not as rapidly as NK's downward spiral, but still declining.

Easy on paper... NK has shown the remarkable ability to down to (if not below) the level of competition. NK has 3 of their remaining 5 games on the road.... not sure if that matters much.

Mt.mHope still needs coach. She has been doing better job, but it will only last so long. Let see how long team can actually work together.

Are you the same swami who predicted LaSalle over Portsmouth last year?
I think a game between Mt Hope/Smithfield or Mt Hope/LaSalle could go either way. Silly mistakes will decide the game. NK? Forget about it. They are no longer in the discussion.

Don't blame the coach if your daughter isn't playing up to YOUR expectations. You want to see a team that needs a coach? Look at NK. All that talent and they have been losing games they wouldn't have. Mt Hope has a better record now than they did last year. Adjustments have been made to take advantage of the talent they have. If your daughter isn't getting enough playing time or isn't in the position YOU would like her to be in or she's not scoring as many goals as YOU would like, don't blame the coach. Mt Hope will make the playoffs AGAIN. Be thankful your daughter is on a winning team, and not on Barrington, Cranston West or Bayview where frustration is at a high.

I think Lincoln may have the worse coaching. Leading Smithfield 1-0 at half the other night. Leading Mt. Hope 2-1 at half. Tied with Lasalle 0-0 at 60 minute mark. Tied with NK 0-0 at the 60 minute mark. Losing to Portsmouth and Prout in the last two minutes. Seems to be an inability on the coaching staff to create a culture of winning. Their girls can play D1 but something is obviously lacking from the sideline. I am no coach, but are any adjustments being made at half because other teams seem to be making them.
