    Jesuit isn't playing their starters and their best players, could be one reason.

        Kudos

        Kudos to the Junction City and Sisters HS coaches and athletic departments (and other schools, I'm sure) for moving their game up so all the girls could bus up to watch US/Canada. Makes for a long day, but what a great experience for the girls. That's what memories are made of!

          Beg to differ. I was at 2 games this season and they started all their starters.

            Having seen only one of the Jesuit games a more appropriate comment might be that they played the entire roster, not sure that will be the case once the metro league games start.

                Got the opportunity to watch the SHS vs JHS game. Very evenly match teams. Both have great defenses. Game was more physical than I had anticipated. I will give JHS the advantage in possession and shots but I need to applaud the SHS keeper for stopping a PK in the first half. JHS nipped one in just over the outstretched gloves of the goalie late in the second half for the win. IMHO these two teams will meet again, not just in league, in post season play.

                Nice job to both teams.

                Side note: Is it now policy to only have 2 officials covering the games? I thought standard was 3 but the last couple HS games I've been at only had 2.

                  This is about covering the game. There are only so many Referees able to work HS Soccer.
                  * So those reading this get this.

                  We have run off referees day in/day out from Rec and Club soccer, so only a few make it this far.

                  So, there may have been no one able or willing to work last night. Remember this the next time.

                    For the record, I wasn't slamming the fact there was only 2 ref's, it was a question. I thought, given there was only 2, the did a good job. Why so defensive?

                        This is pretty close to how I saw it as well. I don't remember SHS having an actual shot on goal though in this game- several thru balls that were dangerous though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

                        The PK was a tough call- could've called it or not. Great save by the keeper. VERY disappointed by the SHS parent who bellowed out just as the JHS kicker took the shot though. How unsportsmenlike. You know who you were. Shameful.

                          I was at the other end of field and don't recall anyone yelling anything. Maybe I was out of ear shot.

                            Totally agree

                            I totally agree- and as a parent, I really appreciate the flexibility of the coaches and AD staffs to make this happen. The JC girls and the entire Sisters' team that were able to attend this event had a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

                            I thought both teams played a pretty good soccer game before they headed to Portland as well :)

                              Even though the subject of officials was discussed in another thread the point needs to be made AGAIN. If we want to have a big enough pool of qualified refs then we are going to have to pay them more at the development stage and train them how to be good at what they do.

                              The Oregon soccer community needs to start treating the development of officials with as much seriousness as they do the development of players. Until that time comes expect mediocrity and games decided NOT by the efforts of the players but the bad decisions of the officials. I was at game last night where the winning team got not one but two PK's from fouls in the box the second of which wouldn't have been called in a rec league.

                              Good officials are rarely the conversation after the game and I look forward to the day where even the losing teams are talking about missed shots ratther than missed calls!

                                Still not #1 material.

                                Saw the game and would say they are a notch below Sunset. If WL would have played in the first half the way they did in the 2nd half the result would have been different.

                                It's early and all teams that need to "jell".
