2019 OSAA Girls High School Soccer

While this is true and even Jesuit wouldn’t be anything special in soccer areas like California, Texas, etc, we live in Oregon and its all we have. Perfectly sensible for us to care and applaud our own girls successes. Similarly, the 5A and below divisions should cheer and be proud of their accomplishments. It’s irrelevant that they are in a much weaker division. Note that the national rankings where Jesuit is tops doesn’t list the CA, Texas, Fl, GA, or almost any big soccer state schools so all things are relative. Regardless, in the ranking that includes Oregon high schools, Jesuit is #1 “in the nation” and that is pretty darn awesome!

Should no one bother to play or watch college soccer except if your girl plays for UNC, Fl State, UCLA or Stanford? Get a grip and realize it’s just high school soccer but we all can enjoy watching and applauding our Oregon girls play high school soccer. Must be sad going through life such a negative Nellie!

So what you are saying is Jesuit's #1 ranking is every bit as fraudulent as the 03 GPS boys' recent national "championship"?

No, I’m saying that I agree that Oregon girls soccer, in general, is far from the top in the country but that is irrelevant on a thread discussing Oregon girls hs soccer. It’s fun and it’s what we have. To win Oregon girls hs soccer, you have to beat Jesuit, not Junipero Serra. I’m also saying that ALL rankings relative. Once you start drawing lines saying only the top level of soccer is worth playing, watching, or talking about, you paint yourself into a small dark corner.

As far as the 03 GPS boys, any team from Oregon winning ANY national championship is very rare for Oregon and is impressive within our state. Should no one care or watch the Timbers play because MLS is so far below Euro leagues? No one is arguing that MLS is the best league in the world but it sure is fun and impressive to see see the Timbers do well. You pretend to think no one should bother watching or talking about any Oregon soccer and yet you spend a lot of time on this site berating everyone. I suspect you actually care more than the rest of us and are bitter or jealous for whatever reason. Meanwhile, the rest of us will continue to cheer on our local players and teams and get excited about a team getting a draw vs the best hs team in Oregon! The race to win state just got a whole lot more interesting. If it’s so beneath you, why don’t you move on?

Recreational HS team rankings.

An actual tangible concept and paradigm, so fitting for the Oregon girls soccer mindest.

Reminds me of the movie DodgeBall with matches streamed live on ESPN Ocho or the '8'.

It is sad, but then again you are on this thread about HS soccer in Oregon and obviously care enough to make a few posts.

Why does Topdrawer have PA listed as going to Silverton HS?

Take top drawer info with a grain of salt - it’s all self input. In this case, she probably just didn’t update her info. NOT PA, but I’ve seen flat out gpa and other lies like making Region IV teams all over topdrawer.

Strange to me how Beaverton is 5-0 with only 2 goals scored against and yet their 12th place

Liberty, Madison, Gresham, Centennial and St. Helens. Seems pretty obvious.

True. Might not really be anything special nationally but they are the best we have in our state. You have to go with what you got!

It takes a few more games for everyone in the state to get a more accurate picture. Some teams have only played 3 games.

NCAA doesn't release RPI until half way though the basketball season.

The rankings are formula based so they don’t really matter until the end.

The coaches poll is a little more real time at the beginning of the year.

In summary; "Yay, a good team didn't win, therefore I have more self esteem than I had at this time yesterday".

Realized that but still it’s about rankings and how is OSAA to know which teams are good this particular year. Confusing

Very welcome. Hope it helps w/ the confusion. I'm still a bit confused, but at least have an understanding of a few things. Notably goal differential has zero impact on rankings.

It should never be about self esteem for parents. I was good at sports growing up and the only person who was mad about winning or losing was me. Parents should only be there for support not for a personal gratification of their success or sadness from their failure. All these girls have failed and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives and that’s how they learn. I really dislike how Oregon parents have crossed over into this I’m better than you because my dd is better than yours mentality.

Says the parent who remembers themselves as a great athlete and there kid is letting them down. Sorry had to do it... lol
