High School 2A-West Playoff Brackets

With a week left in the season it is alot like herding cats; but I believe this is what the 2A West Bracket would look like:

#2 MONROE vs. WILD CARD(NORTH WILKES?) --Winner plays SHELBY

#2 EAST LINCOLN vs. WILD CARD(CENTRAL DAVIDSON?)-- Winner plays SALISBURY

#2 WEST DAVIDSON vs. #3 SOUTH IREDELL -- Winner plays MT. PLEASANT

#3 WEST STANLY vs. #3 LEDFORD -- Winner plays LINCOLNTON

#3 WEST HENDERSON vs. #3 FORBUSH -- Winner plays NEWTON-CONOVER

#2 SMOKEY MTN. vs. WILD CARD(MTN HERITAGE?) -- WINNER PLAYS WILKES CENTRAL

#2 HIBRITEN vs. WILD CARD(MADISON?) -- Winner plays BREVARD

#2 STARMOUNT vs. #3 PATTON -- Winner plays OWENS

It looks like the #3 spot from the Western Athletic Conference may not be decided until the last game when West Henderson plays North Henderson. If North Henderson becomes the three seed that would put West Henderson in as the #1 Wild Card pushing Madison out.

DC United wins Supporter's Shield

Following Colorado's defeat of Chivas USA, DC United becomes MLS's first repeat winner of the Supporter's Shield. Colorado went a man down in the 46' but still managed two second half goals to beat Chivas and keep their hopes alive. The Supporter Shield also comes with an automatic spot in the CONCACAF Champion's Cup.

DCU will now turn their focus to bringing home the MLS Cup for their fans, in front of their fans.

No One Celebrating

With the 0-0 draw against Chicago,DC United clinched the Eastern Conference Title and Troy perkins gets his eighth shut out, but DC isn't celebrating. Coach Tom Soehn explained:

"Listen: these guys are focused and we've made the playoffs. A lot of teams celebrate when they make the playoffs. It wasn't mentioned. Tonight, we won the conference and I think they expect to do that. But we've got something out there that is very important to us, and they are very focused on that. So, they are actually pretty disappointed right now."

Ben Olsen elaborated on the importance of the Supporter's Shield:

"It's huge. To me, it's the hardest thing to do in this league. The MLS Cup sometimes is about who is hot or who gets a break. The Shield is the best team throughout the entire year. It's 10 months of soccer, and to be the best team over a 10-month span in this league is pretty impressive. I know the team and the front office feel the same, not to mention the opportunities it creates for next season, it's a great feather in our cap if we can win it."

Depending on the result of Sunday's match between Chivas USA and Colorado, United could find themselves in a must-win situation against the Crew if they want to win their second consecutive Supporters' Shield. Remember DC United wins the tie breaker with Chivas. Currently Chivas is three points back with a game in hand. They play the Rapids today and finish with Dallas Thursday.

So what happened that forced DC United on their heels in the first half, as Troy Perkins made 8 of his season high 9 saves. Perkins says;

"It's good and bad, so it's no big deal. I was busy, but that's what they pay me for and this is a good time of the year to do that."

"We were pushing too many numbers forward in the first half. We were basically playing with two lines, so no one was pressuring the ball when they cleared it out. They were running at us the whole first half and we couldn't sort it out."

At half time Tom Soehn sorted things out and adjusted to slow Chicago's attack but it did not seem to improve United's chances on goal as Chicago coach Juan Carlos Osorio noted:

"I think that when they changed to a 3-4-1-2. They had wide players and an extra man in midfield. If I look at my notes I don't think they really got in behind us. We defended crosses very well and chance for chance -- I think we deserved to win."

Defender Greg Vanney liked the adjustment and Troy Perkins only had to make one save in the second half. Vanney said:

"Tactically, we changed it up so we had some numbers in different places so that we could eliminate the counterattacks. We added another central midfielder and we pushed a defender up on the outside and attacked and defended in a different shape. That prevented their ability to find that first pass out, and you can defend one-on-one on the back if you can prevent that first pass."

My thoughts on the game all revolve around a desperate need to find a replacement for Jaime Moreno. I'm not saying he is finished but he will be sooner than later and last night's game is a demonstration of what we look like without him.

Emilio versus Blanco Tonight

According to chicagosports.com.

"Guppy sent an e-mail to DC United GM Kevin Payne saying Luciano Emilio should expect a "cease and desist" letter from Blanco's lawyers after Emilio imitated Blanco's goal celebration. Payne initially didn't realize Guppy was joking."

Here's Access United on tonight's game:

RFK Looking more and more like a Five-Star destination

RFK is all DC United's now, the only thing left to go are the foul poles. Well maybe "all DC United's" is a stretch also, Steven Goff is reporting:

"Although the Nationals are gone, United will not have RFK completely to itself. The sports commission, looking for new revenue sources, is hoping to stage a high school football championship game in late November and has been in discussions with Spike TV about using the field as early as next week to tape episodes of "Pros vs. Joes," a sports reality game show"

See the rest of Goff's article in the Washington Post here.

DCU use of Roster

DCenters highlighted (The Sour Smell of Success) the problems MLS teams have had translating regular season success into post-season success. The question "D" poses is:

"If we look at MLS Regular Season points per game (modified as above to account for the shoot-out), there's something shocking. Your top 5 historically have a grand total of 0 MLS Cups. Those teams are the 1998 LA Galaxy (2.19 ppg), the 2001 Miami Fusion (2.04 ppg), the 2005 Quakes (2.0 ppg), the 2001 Fire (1.96 ppg) and the 1996 Mutiny (1.91 ppg). Is there something about the regular season, and really tearing it up that makes playoff success difficult?"

With DCU looking at a 2.0 ppg if they win out should we be worried?

My gut reaction is that this post season problem is due more to team management than anything else. DCenters feels that it is random chance.
My thought is that less depth in your roster and a willingness to use it will cost you in the end (Look no further than United last season or the Revs every season.)

I looked at the top five teams and this season's DC United. I just looked at season minutes available versus minutes played by each player. This was a very cursory look, not adjusting for late-comers to teams or injuries, just Team's total minutes played versus total Team's minutes available. Here is the table:

If you look at this distribution a couple of things jump out at me. First and foremost that the Black and Red have only three players that have played eighty percent or more of the available minutes (Perkins 96%, Emilio 90%, Gomez 83%). The others that failed to bring home a Cup have 6-8 players playing 80% plus minutes. The other item is that United has 15 players that have played 30% or more of the available minutes, more than any other team on the list (Fire-14, Quakes-14, Mutiny-13,LAG-13, and the poor Fusion-12). I feel this distribution of playing to is going to ensure us a fifth star and Tom Soehn COY.

EDIT:The current Revs roster has 10 players playing 80% of the minutes and last season's United had 8.


The great thing about this game is that it is not baseball; statistics really say little about the game. I love the fact that three knowledgeable fans can go to a game, sit together and all see a different game! So enough with the stats, my gut tells me our management of the roster this year will pay big!
