Bentonville's biggest weakness this year will be at keeper.  They found themselves without one early in season and have had to recruit a freshman to learn the position.  However, breaking through Margaret Powers and their strong defensive line will be next to impossible.  Shoot often and from any distance, follow your shots all the way to goal and you could come away with a win.

Cabot 2   Greenbrier 0  (boys)

Cabot looked sharp with quick ball movement and switching the field.  Many shots but too many high or wide.  Scores came in the second half from William Hidalgo on a free kick outside the 18.  Later Mark Reider pushed up from his defensive line to receive a nice ball in the 18 and then served a low driven pass in front of the goal for Justin Wagnon to put it in the back of the net.  Greenbriar's keepers had some good saves on the night while their offense did make some good counter attacks but could not keep possession long in the attacking third. 

Cabot 1  Greenbrier 1 (Girls)  only got to see the last minutes of this game.

Cabot tournament next Saturday.  Valley View, Pulaski Academy, Rogers

Attention all 7/6A soccer fans:

Elsewhere on the soccer forum, I have started a standings thread for the 7/6A conferences.  At this time, I do NOT plan to put the entire conference schedule in the thread but I would like to build this as we go.

In other words, as conference games occur, I will add the games and results to the thread and update the standings. 

As you post results to this thread, would you please indicate whether or not the game played was a conference game? 

Thanks in advance to all of you who post scores!

Regarding the varsity girls 7-0 victory of NLR over Van Buren...Does anyone know if NLR is that good or Van Buren is that bad? I did not hear anyone talking about the NLR girls before the season began. It would be hard for many teams to score 7 goals if the other team was not on the field.

Cabot did not change their formation at all. They had their starting right defender go down 7 minutes in and he did not return. Cabot played high pressure defense the whole game. The weather was not a factor, the field was wet but both teams played on the same field. Just well played game by both teams.

It was an even game the whole time. Cabot had a couple good chances, and Catholic had some too. Cabot actually put one in in the first half on a corner, but was called back because the ball crossed out of bounds and came back in on the kick.

Catholic does a great job of possessing the ball through their midfields, but Cabot's center mids did a good job of defending them.

Regarding the Cabot- Catholic game...I did not think Catholic played one of their better games  that night. They did have some chances, but their passing was not as crisp as in earlier games. Cabot's defensive line was solid. Cabot's offense is pretty much get the ball to Hidalgo or try to kick it over the top so he can try to run to it. The Cabot coach was yelling at them to do that all night. Hidalgo did not score however. I will say Cabot has some very good players, just did not seem as deep as Catholic. Also, Cabot was very fired up for the game and played hard. They celebrated after the game like it was the state championship. I have a feeling Catholic will get that all season though.

One interesting note regarding the AAA rule changes with conference games tied at the end of regulation going straight to kicks...there were several times in the game when Cabot seemed to be letting time run off , playing for a tie. Under the old system, in a tie game a deeper or stronger team would have an advantage the longer the game went on and would probably win most of the overtimes. Now, I bet you will see more teams playing for ties against deeper or stronger teams with ties going straight to kicks, because then neither team has a significant advantage.

Post by: used2play on April 01, 2011, 10:04:44 am
Central vs Russelville great game! Two very good teams and the Central back line is solid this year. Their keeper is likely the best in the state when it comes to the entire package of controlling the team, initiating the attack, technical skills, and simply preventing goals. Not the most athletic but incredibly good. If Central figures out how to control the midfield just a bit better and score some goals they will be on par with Catholic in the 7a central.
Russelville's goal in regulation was also on a PK  on a foul in the box. PKs were actually 5-4 I believe on 7 kicks.
I agree that PKs may not determine the best team ultimately but it's what we have this year...keeps games on time right?! Believe that was more the purpose of the rule change.

Cabot's defensive line was solid. Cabot's offense is pretty much get the ball to Hidalgo or try to kick it over the top so he can try to run to it. The Cabot coach was yelling at them to do that all night. Hidalgo did not score however. I will say Cabot has some very good players, just did not seem as deep as Catholic. Also, Cabot was very fired up for the game and played hard. They celebrated after the game like it was the state championship. I have a feeling Catholic will get that all season though.

One interesting note regarding the AAA rule changes with conference games tied at the end of regulation going straight to kicks...there were several times in the game when Cabot seemed to be letting time run off , playing for a tie. Under the old system, in a tie game a deeper or stronger team would have an advantage the longer the game went on and would probably win most of the overtimes. Now, I bet you will see more teams playing for ties against deeper or stronger teams with ties going straight to kicks, because then neither team has a significant advantage.

It is true Catholic might have not had the best game, but that isn't because the players were just on an off day. The two cabot center midfielders did an excellent job of clogging up the middle when the ball did go to the middle. Catholic is use to possessing the ball 10-15 passes at a minimum and Catholic couldn't put more than 8 passes together because of the defensive pressure cabot was applying. Catholic without a single doubt has  the two best center midfielders in the state. Catholic also has the most technical and solid team in the state. I do believe Cabot has the most amount of instant game changers in the state which is what makes them a really dangerous team really.

Concerning the offense there is a lot more to it than just Hidalgo. That night Hidalgo was not going to play because of bad knee injury and was forced to play up high, so it forced him to just play direct since he could not do the usual dribbles and cuts because of the injury. It also reflected in his speed because his turnover speed was really affected. Cabot are really dangerous when he is in the roam position because he has the ability to turn the defense in one play, but since he attracts so many defenders other players like Logan get to benefit also. It shows as Logan has 3-4 goals in as many games.

There was a recent post from someone who claimed to be a Cabot player stating that Hidalgo had a "serious knee injuy" that limited him in the Cabot-Catholic game on 3/31. I no longer see that post so I assume it was withdrawn. I can't imagine a coach or parent would allow a player to play a game with a "serious knee injury". However, why would someone post that?

Thanks. I guess I confused 2 different posts. Nike 7 Adidas does not sound like a Cabot player. Again, however, I assume that Hidalgo's injury was not "bad" or he would not be playing. Especially with a D1 roster spot (and ? scholarship money) on the line. Most of these guys will have some games during the season when they are playing through some pain, but none of these games are important enough to play with a "bad injury".

It was an awesome game by both teams but before we start throwing the sportsmanship stones, let's remember that the Conway coach had to watch the end of the game from the bus after seeing red....

A 0-0 tie won in a PK shootout and they shouldn't celebrate? Really?! Are you kidding me?! You really feel like thats bad form or unsportsmanlike?
Bryant parents/fans have a long history of obnoxious boorish behavior but typically their kids show good sportsmanship albeit often mouthy. My guess is though that the Bryant girls will celebrate on the field if they win in Conway and they absolutely should. And my guess is that the Bryant parents will loudly join in in the stands if that happens! They're teenagers and should celebrate the excitement of a win like that no matter their location. Ultimately isn't it about these kids having fun in competing?

Wow. Attended the Russellville vs Catholic game tonight. Good game. But Russellville coach was a jerk. First half he yelled the word "hacked" in an instruction to his team and in the second half accused the Catholic keeper of having "a corn cob up his butt".
On a better note, hats off to both teams for an enjoyable game. Too bad that a player on both teams got a yellow card for arguing with the ref because it appeared to me that the players had a good point.

A couple of weeks ago I defended the right of the Conway girls to celebrate their win in PKs over Bryant. After watching the Bryant vs Central game last night I understand why people were put off.
After Central lost in PKs (Central lost, Bryant didn't win. Their one goal was an own goal by a Central defender,and then Central missed 2 of their PKs. One weak shot stop and a ball not on frame) many of the Bryant boys ripped off their shirts and celebrated midfield like they had won the championship and it appeared that several of them taunted the Central keeper(maybe that's why they celebrated, beating what is likely the best keeper in the state).
You were right Trevster. Terrible sportsmanship...a midseason conference game. Like you said, act like you've won a game before!
Bryant players were mouthing all night(from listening in the stands it was apparent that they come by that trait honestly, they've learned well from mom and dad), nearly started more than one fight, and made multiple runs at the Central keeper very intentionally bumping him several times so the end of the game not the only issue with them. Just the most glaringly obvious. Surprising the Bryant coach allows that to go on and even more surprising the center didn't get control. The Bryant boys' were completely classless.

Central does the same. On days that the JVG team plays at 4:00 the VG team has the 515 game and VB team is scheduled at 7 but may start earlier or later depending on the VG game. If VB play at 4 then the VB are at 515 and VG at 7.

Cabot VB 0  Russellville  1

1st half foul in the box that was DOGSO which gave Russellville a PK and put Cabot down a man.  Both sides had opportunities that went high or wide. 

VG game called before half due to weather.  Will play that game today.

Cabot and Russellville girls will play today? Who confirmed that?

Of Russellville's 3 wins and 1 loss against the top teams (Catholic, Cabot, and Central) two of the wins were due to fouls in the box leading to their only goal of the game by PK. DOGSO against Cabot and off in the corner of the box but a definite and unnecessary take down against Central. Good team living on the edge of wins and losses!

DOGSO against Cabot and off in the corner of the box but a definite and unnecessary take down against Central. Good team living on the edge of wins and losses!

And on the other side of that is Central. 3 losses all in PK shootouts after ties and you could have a pretty good arguement if you said they've had no goals allowed! Russellville's only goal a PK after a foul for a 1-1 tie, 0-0 tie with Catholic, and an own goal for Bryant's only goal in a 1-1 tie. In all 3 shootouts Central converted only 3 of their 5 PK's. Another very good team who's bounces have been just a little different than Russellville's and standings would be much different if the two teams "switched luck".
A completely different subject but also interesting. Tying into what an earlier poster said about Bryant's over the top celebration and taunting after their Central shootout win, how the different teams reacted. Russellville's team briefly high fived and shook hands with the Central players as parents talked about the good game. Catholic players clapped on winning and they and the Central players talked and showed each other respect on a hard fought game while their parents congratulated each other on a great 80 minutes of soccer. Bryant players ran onto the field tearing off their jerseys and taunted Central's keeper while their parents hooped and hollered and jeered away. Three different programs with three very different expectations, styles, and fans.

Interesting observations about the different team reactions after wins. A few days after Catholic beat Central in kicks, I overheard a girl from the Mount Saint Mary team ask a Catholic player if they had won the other night. She said that she walked over to the field at the end of the kicks in the Central-Catholic game after her game had ended and could not tell who had won. She said the opposing players just shook hands and walked off the field without celebrating. Some teams are expected to win and therefore aren't as excited when they do. I don't think its cockiness, its just the way it is.

While I would not begrudge any team the right to celebrate after a hard fought match, the conference seaon is a marathon, not a sprint. One should not get too excited about any single game. The team will likely have one or two more games  that week and two or three the following week. Also, all teams face each opponent twice during the conference season and possibly during the state tournament. Probably not a good idea to have an over-the-top celebration after a victory, only to fire-up your opponent for the next time you play them.

Conway boys seem to be playing much better now than at the beginning of the season. It will be interesting to see how they finish the second half of the conference season. Does anyone who has seen all their games know what the difference is?

There have been so many games decided by kicks, and some upsets. One would think that if the rules had not been changed about tie games going straight to kicks, most of these games would be won by the "favored" team in overtime. So far, it seems that rule change may have a big impact on the conference season outcome.

The first half Conway was still looking for the right mix as well as dealing with nagging injuries.  Everyone seems to be healthy now and chemistry is kicking in.

I think if they had gone to overtime with Cabot tonight they would won as they totally controlled the second half.

By far Central's worst game of the year. More goals allowed than any game this year.  Like many others at least 2 starters (both up top) out. Central scored in the 4th minute and then after an hour and a half rain delay came out flat and unmotivated.

The great thing about the 7A Conference is that no matter what it looks like on paper, on any given night any team can win. And, as shown in recent years, the team that wins in the regular season may not be the team that wins in the tournament. It makes for an exciting season and post-season.

However, it looks like the Conway boys are improving and Cabot may be going in the opposite direction. With Cabot at 5-4, this Tuesday's game of Cabot against Catholic looks like a must -win for Cabot now. The Mount St. Mary girls look like they are in a similar free-fall and need to turn things around.

7A Central
Looks like Russellville, Cabot and Catholic should cruise tonight.
Central vs Conway will be a fight though. Looks as though Central has lost some of their motivation and other teams may just want it more than them. And Conway's young talented team is starting to get over their chemistry issues and is working well together. If a few of Central's individual players adopt a "win or lose it's ok either way" attitude Conway will hand them a loss at home tonight. Time for the Wampus Cats to put it all together and time for Central to step up and show they truly in the top 3 or 4 7A teams in the state!
Which do you think happens tonight?

Goal scored by Conway with 4 mins left in the game.  Big rebound and cleared ball off a Central corner kick led to a break away from mid field and the Central defender was unable to keep up with the Conway forward and then beat the goalie to the back corner of the net with his shot.

4 game winning streak for Conway.

Was at the Central-Conway game...Central certainly had their chances to put Conway away in both the first and second half. I thought, overall, Conway looked a lot better than in the first match. The goal scored was a real class type goal. All credit to the Central keeper though. He blocked a couple of 1 v 1's that most would have let through. Central has got to find more consistency from their backline if they are going to warrant much attention moving forward. Conway was no push-over team, but Central has to have better play from the backs. I would say the keeper makes up for a lot of the exposed areas, but he can only do so much. Should be a fun run to the playoffs.

Any news on the other games?

I attended this game as well. I actually felt that 3/4 of Central's back line was solid 85% of the time and the center backs, especially the Manley kid who I've seen play club ball many times, were very good. One of their outside backs had a great game and actually roamed forward and created some opportunities while still having the speed to get back and cover. The other outside back is a weakness for them and when they sub in for any of these guys the drop off is significant. I'm 99% sure that the kid that got blown by was a late sub in that had not played all night and just flat out got beaten within minutes of his entry into the game.
  I was actually surpised that the Central keeper didn't make the stop. Not because it was a poorly shot goal that he should have gotten to, it was a perfectly played ball to the far post, but because he is almost perfect in his positioning, angles, and technique. This goes unrecognized by most and is so important. By being so technically savvy balls are forced wide, angles are closed off, shots are hurried, and balls are played over the goal and those are not counted as saves even though the keeper forces the miss. And you are right he made some great saves in the game but his affect on the game reaches further than that especially the working relationship that he has with his teammates out in front of him and the way they respond to each other. His vocal leadership and organization of defense and team, telling defenders where to position, alerting and moving his defenders to open men and attacks, is like watching a well choreographed play. Ha! Can you tell I think the kid is a player?! Not the most spectacular play maker that I've ever seen but a total package in a keeper that I haven't seen in our state in many years. Ian Goodman may be the last that I remember.  Does anyone know where he's headed for college next year?
And back to Central! You're right they need to eliminate the defensive breakdowns although with their starters working with the keeper there aren't an abundance of them. But mostly Central needs to score. Put one, or especially two, balls in the net per game and you're undefeated. They aren't giving up many goals but someone needs to step up for them with speed and aggression and be their scorer. They seem to have lost a bit of the edge and aggression, particularly the small midfielder and the tall blonde headed left footed kid that were so active in an earlier season game I saw. Score a goal or two the next 4 games and they win out.

Agreed! The Brooks kid from Conway made two spectacular stops but as he usually does made some glaring mistakes as well. Central just flat missed several open looks, they just did not finish and their players much of the game were getting knocked off the ball by younger and smaller Conway players. Their scoters, the tall kind of curly headed kid played well, but the kind of jitter bug great foot skill and speed guy on the outside needs to pull the trigger on the end of his runs, the small center mid needs to get active likenhe was earlier in the season, The tall kid on the outside that was attacking and rocking off shots earlier in the season has to get back to that. For some reason Central is back on their heels and not aggressive up top. Just throw out your 11 best and tell them to play til they can't anymore! And shoot! too much back passing and not enough attacking and finishing.

Supposedly there was a scheduling mix-up and VB scheduled the refs for the following night by mistake. They reportedly called around to all the local refs , but could not get anyone to do the game at the last minute. They played the games , but without refs the home team has to forfeit (Did not change the outcome.) I don't think it is a sign of a ref shortage, just an unusual scheduling mistake.

The 6th seed of course won't be an issue but if they move into that 4 seed it'll be tough. At least they'll be at home!

Does any other school have a conflict on that day?  I was hoping that whatever seed Cabot might place we could swap a time slot to an earlier game time if the schools involved agreed.

Cabot has the tie breaker over Conway which makes a 3 seed likely so an early game. And after Van Buren gaining its third victory of the season with their win over Bryant tonight it looks like Bryant is headed for a 5 seed unless Hall wins a couple of games and passes them with that weird point system in their conference so that would put them early as well.

Did Van Buren find a keeper?  When Cabot played them, they tried a freshman in the goal but he did not have the size to cover the goal and their second option was a bigger player but he was not that experienced it seemed.

Ha!
Welcome to the world of PK shootouts for OT. The great equalizer. It allows lesser teams to play for the tie and have an equal chance with the better team. And often the lesser team wins (Bryant over Catholic, Bryant over Central, Van Buren over Bryant etc)
Stats show that the shooter makes around 80% of PKs (4 out of 5) against even the best keepers. Equal the stats and you'll likely win. Make 3 of 5 or less and you'll usually lose.       
  Stats also show that shots waist high or higher have the best chance of scoring, shots in the outer third and upper third are even better. So... a kick with some velocity in the upper and outer third almost guaranteed to score. Go practice shooters!

Bryant's Boys scored their first goal on a crazy set piece.  The game was closer than the scoreline in my opinion.  Conway seemed to be caught on their heels too much during the game.   Conway had some opportunities but not as Bryant.  Credit to Conway's keeper for turning away two point blank rebound saves to keep the score lower than what it could have been.  I think both teams will take away the good/bad from this game and build on it.

We have put that bigger player in the goal, who is a sophomore. He's new, but good considering he just started this year. He won Van Buren the game against Bryant in PK's.

Trev,

It was for a sure a trick play and Conway fell for it believing the two players were really hurt. 

I thought Bryant's goalie played really well as he saved 3 sure goals that would normally go in for Conway.  It was really not their night and nothing seemed to go right for them and Bryant got three shots to fall.

Saves on two big rips from Hidalgo first half but another Cabot player scored their goal on a one on one in the first half.
Decreased pressure by Cabot with him out for about 3/4 of second half but still scoring opportunities for both teams with Central player scoring on a looping shot to the far corner over Cabot keeper from about 25.
Central keeper had saves on two of Cabot's 4 shots and Central made all 4 of theirs.

I heard about this and from what I understand it wasn't a minor collision. Parents have told me that you could hear the boys's bodies smack into one another. To me this is just plain wrong...I know some will argue that it was "funny" or "clever", but to me it takes away from the purity of the game. It mocks the idea of players being injured, and what should the refs think if later on in the game two players collide and it looks like an injury? Ignore it? Just a class-less, cheap trick to me. I think the players they have are too good for something like that. Their coach should be ashamed...
Title: Re: Attention 7A Soccer Fans / post scores here
Post by: Soccer84 on May 04, 2011, 10:16:05 am
In my opinion, I think the referees called a good game and kept things level headed with Conway and Bryant.  As for the free kick incident, I have to agree with the referee not calling anything.  Simulating/Faking a foul is the closest thing to call in that situation BUT two teammates running into each other is not a foul.  You can look at it from a couple different angles:

a) Not blow the whistle (what the referee did)
b) Blow the whistle at the moment of the collision to check on the players for injury.  (I think the referees will have full support of coaches/AAA for insuring the safety of the players)

I agree in the "spirit of the game" that the play was in the wrong context of the sport.  I think Bryant is a better team than resorting to that type of play.  It clearly showed with a 3-0 at Conway.  However, players are taught to play until you hear the whistle.  In this case, Conway was caught off guard and didn't defend properly on a setpiece that resulted in a goal.

I would like to know what AAA's ruling would be on this.  I think the last thing you want is a State Championship game being remembered as a 1-0 win in favor of a team that scored on a play like this.  I think other teams will take note of this on Bryant's sake and be better prepared going forward.

Im interested to hear more about it too.  The issue for me is less about what the ref did and more about a coach allowing (or god-forbid, teaching) his players to do something like this.  Misdirection is one thing, but feigned injury is not ok for me.

Trying to judge whether a player is injured sufficiently to whistle the play dead is often tricky for the referee.  I wasn't at this game so I can't offer an opinion on whether the referee acted correctly.  Since the players weren't injured, perhaps he did.  How long after the collision before the kick was taken?  A couple of seconds, or longer?  It makes little sense to second guess a decision made if the time period was very short.

Did the players collide and just fall to the ground, or did they make exaggerated actions to pretend to be injured?  If they pretended to be hurt and then jumped up high fiving after the goal was scored, the referee would have been justified in Cautioning (yellow card) one or both of them.  Simulating or exaggerating an injury is a cautionable offense, but it takes a very confident and thick-skinned referee to make that call in any but the most blatant situations.

Maybe an aha moment...
So I'm guessing that Bryant was in the process of taking a free kick (from where I wonder), had two guys intentionally run into each other and go down faking injury (sounds as if that's the case according to at least one Bryant fan/player posting that it was a "trick play") and were loud and demonstrative  enough about it to draw Conway players attention to them and away from play out of concern and respect for the "injured" players, and Bryant took a lightly defended or undefended shot on goal for the free kick score. Is that about right?

That's what I have heard...like I said...parents said you could hear the collision from the stands. And it was obvious the boys had been 'coached' to do this...I use that term loosely.

Post by: PressBox-81 on May 04, 2011, 12:56:18 pm
Bryant was lined up for a free kick just outside the right corner of the goal box (20 yds) and Conway had their wall set.  3 players for Bryant were around the ball.  Two players broke on the ball at the same time and ran into each other and made sure they sold it like they had ran over each other and went to ground as if in pain.  The entire wall for Conway looked at the players down to include the goalie.  At this moment #10 for Bryant ripped a shot to the backside of the goal and it went in.  The intent of the play was to make Conway look at the players down at the supposed injured players and that is exactly what they did.

Whether it was clever coaching or playing on kids emotions it worked and caught Conway looking.  Conway lost its primary center back right before this to a back injury so they were a little gun shy on players being injured.  In the game the trainer had to go on the field and help Conway players off at least 3 times in the game so yes it was the usual physical game you get with Bryant.

If the ref was warned beforehand then the "ruse" could and should have been considered unsporting behavior.   I believe the laws of the game would call for a foul to be called and the kick awarded to the defending team before the goal was made.

I've noticed that any game with Bryant HS girls, they show up wearing black and blue and the other teams leave black and blue.  I suspect the boys games are the same.

This is actually more complicated than you might think.  First, this is not a foul situation because it involves two players from the same team.  Second, the restart would depend upon when the referee intervened.  If the players collided, feigned injury, and the referee stopped the action before the ball was kicked, then the restart would be a free kick for the team in possession (Bryant) whether the referee wanted to check them for injury or caution them for USB.  If the kick had been taken but the goal was not yet scored when the referee blew the play dead, the restart would be determined by the reason the referee stopped play.  If he stopped it due to injury the restart would likely be a dropped ball (no one in possession), but if he stopped play solely to caution the "injured" players then the restart would be a IFK for the defense (Conway).  If the ball had already entered the goal before the referee intervened, the goal might stand if he decided that the misconduct occurred after the ball crossed the line.  Under FIFA rules there is some maneuvering room because play is stopped when the referee makes the decision to stop it, not when he blows the whistle.  I am not sure if NFHS makes this distinction.
I personally don't like the strategy, but if the players collided and fell down without obviously faking an injury, it may fit within the bounds of the law.  Beyond that it ends up being a judgment call by the referee.

Post by: futbolfollower on May 04, 2011, 03:05:28 pm
This is not the first conversation on this board about Bryant players', fans', and team conduct. Faking injuries to take advantage of the concern of opposing players to distract from play and score is, if not against the rules, clearly unethical. Bryant relied on the ethical concern inherent in each one of us to complete an unethical play. This was and is classless. Just as ripping off shirts and celebrating midfield, constant mouthing, play that blatantly disregards the safety of others, taunting an opposing keeper after winning a PK shootout, and on and on is classless. But this may go even beyond all of that.
  Who coaches this team? Allowing all of that to go on with those boys, and especially coaching to do these things, is a shame. If it is true that a team is often a reflection of the coach and his attitude....well... someone needs to get a handle on these kids. A high school coach's responsibility goes well beyond W's and L's and should be at least partially teaching kids respect for others and themselves, about right and wrong.  C'mon Bryant. You're working on a rep and it's not a good one.

That's much more in-depth but right along the same lines.  I was going on the assumption that the ref would have known beforehand that Bryant was going to do this and that his judgment call margin would be very narrow.  I also know I can't impose my sensibilities on the refs. :)

I haven't seen Bryant play much this year. But if they are, in fact, guilty of all they are being accused of both in this game and in general, then the referees are clearly not enforcing the rules. There are provisions in the rules for all this sort of thing...stiffer than USSF. There should be yellow (and some red) cards all around for this kind of nonsense. It is, indeed, both classless and outside the rules and should be dealt with. That being said, I would probably be a chicken, too, if I was the ref who was faced with dealing with it! I have seen Bryant parents/fans in action and it's too often not been pretty.

Trev he really wrote that they "doubled over in laughter".  I just went back watched the video again and I missed an important step of the play here.  The player lined up on the ball merely slid a ball into the box about the 11 meter and a Bryant player ran to it and finished the shot.  The entire Conway team was looking at the players on the ground and might add they were NOT laughing but merely turned their heads but it was enough to allow the player to get the shot off.

In the end it is a nice trick play but not sure it will work any more this year.

Quote directly from the article in the Bryant paper. First line of the article in fact:

"At first, the Conway Wampus Cat soccer fans were laughing. But in a flash, they were stunned into silence."

Nowhere in the article does it say the Conway players were laughing. The only other mention of any player or fan reaction:

"...No one moved but Rowlan who drilled the ball into the net to the game's first goal.
It was all choreographed by Hay and executed to a tee by his players. And it left the Conway fans and players dazed and confused. Conway coach Robert Irons was incensed..."

Don't try to gloss over the play by misquoting your local paper.

If the two involved in colliding just ran into each other, flopped, and got up kudos to the Bryant coach for the play and Conway just didn't stay focused on the game. If they kids in any way played it as if they were injured on the play then  they and their coach crossed a boundary that someone should get a harsh talking to about at the very least.

This is not a NICE TRICK PLAY, it is complete trash, coaches and players should be suspended.  Ref should have stopped play before kick and checked on kids, or straight booked them if the ref could tell it was fake.

That's pretty ridiculous.  I'd be curious to know if they warned the ref about that ahead of time, and if so, how people would feel about that as justification.  Either way, pretty cheap.
If the ref was warned beforehand then the "ruse" could and should have been considered unsporting behavior.   I believe the laws of the game would call for a foul to be called and the kick awarded to the defending team before the goal was made.

I've noticed that any game with Bryant HS girls, they show up wearing black and blue and the other teams leave black and blue.  I suspect the boys games are the same.

A couple of things about the girls showing up in black and blue and other teams leaving black and blue:

1.Blue and white are the school colors.
2.Their warm-ups are black.
3.They can't do anything about their warm-ups being black.
4.Another thing if you cant handle a bruise maybe soccer isn't your sport!

He definitely promotes himself and seems to be full of himself in a way that goes beyond confidence well into cockiness. But he is also a very talented kid who for better or worse gets much attention from other teams.
I was just curious whether Bryant beat Cabot with Cabot's best player in, at partial strength, or sitting. Sounds like he was sitting. Thanks

Cabot was without hidalgo all game and they had to sit a starting center mid the second half due to injury.  Cabot had probably 20 shots on goal and just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net.

Bryant parents are not any worse than any others, (with exception of the students section, their terrible) I'm sure we sound louder but that could be because there's generally more there supporting our team than others. And as far as the black and blue comment, that's silly, out of all the schools playing I'd think the Conway bs Bryant games would be the most intense. These girls have played against each other since they we're 7 or 8 years old and the two games this year was the best two games I've seen. As far as I know they were pretty clean, and the Conway fans were very good winners both games. I doubt we play any team any harder than We do Conway but hey, the Lady Hoenets play their best against the best. St. Mary's beat us up there, the game was clean, Bryant fans did get upset due to a hand ball in the box on their second goal that the young lady from St. Marys even knew happen, but during that game a fan from there side called one of our girls a f-ing B word. The St. Mary's AD had to address their behavior. We all get into this school bashing more than nessary, I'll admit I do, but Bryant does have as much class and soccer ethics as any other school out there.

Not trying to add fuel to the fire...I did mention girls about 1/4 down page 5 and this thing is spiraling downward fast.  We should get back to just posting scores.

Individual external perceptions about Bryant players/fans aren't always objective including mine.  I offered what I have observed.  Did I observe wrong or was I just overly critical because my child was on the receiving end?  Maybe a little bit of both.

No... trick plays are not for soccer.   Sure, juke someone out, make a no look pass, but a "trick play" that is dirty like that is not ok.  Sure run over a dead ball and then receive a pass... but no, don't fake injury which should stop play.

Did the Bryant players fake being injured?  Did anyone who was actually there or viewed the tape say this?  Or did they just fall down after colliding?

Having two (or more) people standing ready to take a free kick is a common misdirection.  Who will take it? Which way will the ball bend?  Will the first person step over the ball, leaving it to the second to kick?  Having two players attempt to take the kick at the same time, collide, and fall down could be considered just an unusual extension of this misdirection if they don't make a big show of being injured.

So did the Bryant players draw attention to themselves (and away from the ball) by faking injury?  I don't know, nor do most of the people posting here, but I would like to hear from someone who does.

Bryant had a gun with one bullet and hit the target.  Rest assured that this strategy is very unlikely to work again - at least for the remainder of this season.

Title: Re: Attention 7A Soccer Fans / post scores here
Post by: Hornet-Hawg on May 08, 2011, 02:38:18 pm
I've been reading the Bryant bashing for awhile but chose to ignore it because most of the criticism was from people who were either not at the games or were on the losing end of the games.  Most parents tend to lash out following a game where they feel their child was "wronged".  I've felt like it many times.  The Bryant bashing continues so I will at least throw in my two cents:

1.  I only saw the first half of the Bryant-Central boys' game that seemed to start this whole thing.  I can guarantee you the Central players and fans were giving as much as they were receiving.  Both teams were talking a little too much for my taste and I hoped the center would finally put a stop to it.  He did not and it continued to escalate.  It certainly wasn't one-sided, though.  I didn't see the second half.  If our player taunted the Central goalie, he should be reprimanded and I'm sure he was.  As far as ripping off their shirts (assuming it happened), that was definitely excessive for a regular season game.  While the Bryant players should act like they've been there before, they really HAVEN'T been there before.  Bryant soccer is just now reaching the stage of being competitive in the 7A Central.  The win against Central was a big step.  I think they learned from that experience, however, and handled future wins in more appropriate fashion (as noted in the Catholic game).

2.  I didn't see the "trick" play, either.  From what I've heard, the two guys were supposed to run into each other and then react in anger at each other.  It sounds like they perhaps carried out the fake a little too well.  If they smacked together as hard as everyone says, I'm sure they were a little stunned!  I know both kids and can guarantee that both are high character individuals from high character families.  The Bryant coach is a football coach and football coaches LOVE trick plays!  He wanted to try it in soccer.  I do NOT believe, however, that he would ever actually coach them to fake an injury to gain an unfair advantage.  I know some of the "soccer purists" will say there is no room in soccer for trick plays like this.  The Bryant coach apparently disagrees but that does not make him classless!

3.  Are the Bryant girls physical? Absolutely!  Soccer is a physical sport.  Are they dirty?  Absolutely NOT!  I don't have the official stats, but opposing teams have been whistled for many more fouls in the majority of the games this season.  We haven't had many cards either.  You have to play a physical game if you hope to compete against the 7A West girls in the state tournament.  They have bullied the Central teams out of the tournament for the last several years.  I've seen Central teams with superior talent get knocked off because they couldn't adjust to the physical play - physical, not dirty.  Our girls are caught looking to the referee for a call while the West teams are advancing the ball and scoring!  Hopefully the Central teams will be ready this year.

OK, I'm tired of typing.  Can we please move on and concentrate on making some noise in the state tournament?!

So he did coach them to pretend to run into each other and "get mad" so I can fairly assume the conversation went from, "yeah you should act mad" to "yeah but it might be better if I act hurt"

It is classless and has no room is our game.

No one "acted hurt" and I don't think I will take class lessons from someone on here with 119 slaps.  That is just an indication of someone who likes to put others down to feel better about themselves and has no place on our board.

True, and the same could have been done on the Bryant boys play, and probably should have. But that doesn't make them classless anymore than a player flopping to try to gain an unearned advantage during play. Or in your opinion is any player that flops classless too? ???

Depends on your definition of the flop... and what level it is.  At the worst level, yes, classless.

Diving is also not something set up to get the entire team to stop playing like faking an injury is.  It isn't the same or even close to it. 

A coach teaching players to cheat, classless.

Russellville wins 5-4 in pks

Boys game was very physical and back forth for sure a game that deserved overtime periods instead of pks but the rule is straight to pks so you roll the dice and go for it.
Was sad for Conways jr keeper as he blocked a pk shot diving down the line but was whistled for coming off the line and on the rekick the ball hit the back of the net.

Both teams for sure deserved to win and I fell Russellville will make some big noise in the 6A tournament.

A good hard-fought match. Mostly a defensive struggle (as you would gather from the score). However, both teams had some great scoring chances that they didn't capitalize on. Central scored on a nice header goal. There was a controversial non-call late in the second half when a Catholic player was taken down at/near the edge of the box. However, this was the same ref crew that worked the MSM game and stopped the clock for substitutions only when Mount had the lead.

It was, indeed, a hard-fought game between two solid teams. To say a Catholic player was taken down, I think, implies more than what really happened. The two players were physically engaged (it might be a bit of a stretch to say it was shoulder to shoulder!) and they both went down while contesting for the ball just on the edge of the area. The referee was much closer to the play and had to excercise judgment as to whether to blow the whistle for that contact, in that location, at that stage of the game. I can't really fault him for not stopping play, although I can see where Catholic fans saw a foul there (I did not have a dog in the fight).

As far as stopping the clock for substitutions, although you do not see done that often (probably not as often as it should be), if you'll check the high school rules, you'll see the referee was acting completely within his authority.

Well said arksoc.
There was a long run that the Central player slightly trailed on and the Catholic player took it deep into the corner outside the box. When he slowed slightly the Central defender got a shoulder in front and they both contested for the ball while bodying each other and both went down. Neither had elbows flying, hands extended, jerseys grabbed etc. The center was in excellent position for the run and the contesting for the ball being within about 10 yards and looking directly at the play when both went down. Catholic was down a goal and a few players were beginning to get chippy at this point and on into the game as well.
One of the better and most evenly played soccer matches that I've seen in some time as the first match between these two teams won by Catholic in PKs was a well played match. Good hard play all the way around with few glaring mistakes, multiple momentum shifts, missed opportunities on both sides, with the best players on each team that are expected to lead and make a difference leading and making a difference.
Would be great if they meet in the finals in Fayetteville for the final round of best two out of three!

After getting the video from insider I have watched it over and over looking at each player, center ref, and keeper etc. May have changed my mind to this actually just being a good play.
  I don't have sound on my office computer and not certain I would hear much of consequence anyway. The two Bryant players collided across the ball, went down, and sat up and looked at and gestured to each other as if astonished while one of them stood. No grabbing ankles, writhing in pain etc.
  Some Conway guys caught looking but those that counted just got beaten. When Rowlan broke for the ball being played in his defender broke at the same time but trailed from the beginning and appeared to just get out hustled/outrun . Other Conway players stood but some stayed in the play but the Conway guys seemed out hustled. Maybe they were distracted by the play, don't know. Cody, the keeper, although seemingly a bit distracted initially, stayed with the play and the ball the entire time, got in position facing up to the ball and the attacker but was just beaten on the one on one. Interesting!

This is not a NICE TRICK PLAY, it is complete trash, coaches and players should be suspended.  Ref should have stopped play before kick and checked on kids, or straight booked them if the ref could tell it was fake.

If this is really played out how it seems on the board, that is one of the trashiest things i've seen in the sport.

This is not the first conversation on this board about Bryant players', fans', and team conduct. Faking injuries to take advantage of the concern of opposing players to distract from play and score is, if not against the rules, clearly unethical. Bryant relied on the ethical concern inherent in each one of us to complete an unethical play.

Noticeable abscense from this poster, too.

I don't think the ref had time or wherewithal to make a call there, and no one should be suspended, but I still don't like the play.  To some extent it does take advantage of concern for a downed player.  Conway should have defended better, but its still a dirty play in my opinion.

Post by: SirSoccer on May 13, 2011, 09:55:09 am
I just thought the conversation was over.  Seems to me that the play was still wrong.  one player stays on the ground just about until the goal is in, other throws his hands up.  Basically, it goes against the idea of stopping play for an injured player and if I ever played against bryant I wouldn't trust any of their players being "injured'. 

It is clear the keeper stops, all the defenders stop, the wall is confused.  I mean it is a pretty bad thing to do in my opinion still.

really, with the defenders position and the play, if you take away the divers I think they could still score from the set piece with the same design minus the nonsense. 
Title: Re: Attention 7A Soccer Fans / post scores here
Post by: Soccer84 on May 13, 2011, 10:39:02 am
As for the player being "on the ground just about until the goal is in", you can see that player didn't stop in the process of getting up or just laid there with injury. 

Also for the player that threw his hands up, why would he throw his hands up to the referee?  He didn't get fouled.  There was no call to be argued for.  I just think it was part of the setup to the play.

"It is clear the keeper stops, all the defenders stop, the wall is confused."  Players are always taught to play to the whistle.  I think the Conway team was caught in the moment of the action that took place.  Example: Defender thinks an attacking player is offside when they receive the ball and throws his hand up to the assistant referee.  Just because the defender thinks its offsides doesn't mean it was.  Play until you here the whistle.

I can see both sides of the argument on this and I think both are valid to a degree.  Bryant ran a play that Conway fell for.  If this happened at midfield without a chance of a goal, I don't think the reaction to everything would have been the same.  On the flip side of the coin, I think after reading this board and knowing that this wasn't the first time Bryant tried to run this play (against Van Buren too), it goes against the spirit of the game.

I don't expect to see any attempt at this from Bryant the rest of the season as all other teams they might face have probably already heard about it.

Quite simply I'm just tired of this discussion. Old news now and time for playoffs.
I firmly stand behind everything that I said with the exception of any comments related to faked injury...unless of course they faked injury! Those were based on what we were all told, and still, if injury is faked for advantage it's inappropriate and classless. All other comments about Bryant boys' inappropriate actions through the season also stand.
It's clear that Bryant supporters prefer to portray this play as clever and fun. All others feel it's anywhere from on the margins of ethical to outright wrong.
As a7A Central fan I prefer that all our teams beat the west. Difficult to root for Bryant with the type of "soccer culture" that is embraced there but I will be rooting for them against the west. Kind of like being a Razorback fan and rooting for other SEC teams in nonconference games!
If there is any justice at all, after the two games that Central and Catholic played this season, it will be an all 7A Central final between those two teams for a rubber match to determine this years state champion!

Quote from: futbolfollower on May 13, 2011, 11:13:52 am... If there is any justice at all, after the two games that Central and Catholic played this season, it will be an all 7A Central final between those two teams for a rubber match to determine this years state champion!

Looks like Catholic might have been looking ahead today just a bit....that was a surprising result.

I disagree. None of these teams left in the 7A boys are slouches. Fort Smith Southside played hard and had some great players. They beat Cabot 4-1. Cabot beat Catholic in kicks and lost to them 1-0 in the conference season. FSSS's record was 16-3-1, not 3-16-1. I suspect most games will be 1 goal decisions from here on out.

It was something unique and kudos to those that pulled it off. If you want to whine and cry about something how about all of the ridiculous flops that happen every game or the "real" fake injuries where the kid lays on the ground peeking up to see if play is going to be stopped then when it is suddenly they can stand up and walk to the sidelines. Holy cow miraculous recovery!!! You know your kid is one of these and you get so upset when they're laying on the ground and you are screaming about stopping play. Give me a break!!

Now to the girls game... I haven't seen Bentonville play but I do know the Conway girls team is about as good as it gets for high school. They will be even better next year with the majority f the girls being Juniors who have played together for years through club and what not. They have an amazing keeper out of Brittany and a solid back line. They will be a tough nut to crack.

The web site www.askasoccerreferee.com is a forum where people send in questions regarding the Laws of the Game.  Most questions get answered by email, but some are chosen to be shown on the web site.  The site is run by USSF, and the answers can be considered official USSF positions.

Today there is a posting concerning the Bryant/Conway trick play situation.  The person posing the question is not from Arkansas (and he gets the teams wrong), but the answer is still instructive.  This is the USSF position and has no direct connection to NFHS, but the the reasoning still applies.


WHEN IS DECEPTION REWARDED?
May 19, 2011

Question:
In a recent viral video of a Conway AR high school match shows the center awarding a free kick to Conway and the Conway players setting up. Two players approach the area of the ball as if both are going to initiate the kick with one passing by the ball and then colliding with the other approaching player and both collapse on the ground while a third player initiates the kick. A score resulted.

Question is, has an offence been committed? My input would be yes that it is unsporting behavior in that the collision was set up as a distraction that is staged, much like a player taking an obvious dive after contacting a player of the opposing team. I can't see the trickery rule applying because it only addresses playing the ball back to the keeper and trying to circumvent a law of the game. I believe the goal was awarded. Not that it matters to me being I have no interest or contact with any team in Arkanas. Just discussing it with some current officials on how we would have called it. I am a laspsed official (not one of the choices below)

USSF answer (May 19, 2011):
Ah, deceit, the mother of legal gamesmanship. The kicking team is allowed to engage in its little bit of deception at almost any restart. Provided that the players who collide don't turn the event into a moaning, groaning, shrieking distraction, this was likely legal. Some playacting is certainly acceptable, but when an event is played to the hilt it could be seen as constituting either (a) exaggerating the seriousness of an injury or (b) the equivalent of shouting at an opponent to distract (either of which would be unsporting behavior). It all depends, of course, on the opinion of the referee, which would be based on how out of the ordinary the actions of these players were.

The Laws of the Game were not written to compensate for the mistakes of players, in this case the defending team that did not continue to pay attention to the subsequent kicker, the runner, and the ball itself.

CAVEAT: Please note that this is a high school game played under NFHS auspices, and not necessarily in accordance with the Laws of the Game. And the referee might be especially cunning and preempt any problems by stopping play for the "injury," which occurred before the ball was in play, have the players attended to, and restart with original free kick.

Fayetteville played tough and played good soccer, but with maybe one shot on goal (ball trickled into the keeper's feet) and a goal scored on a PK, they didn't light up the stat sheet.  Conway controlled the bulk of the game and had 6-7 shots on goal.  Fayetteville has a solid back line and a terrific keeper.  I may be looking too far ahead, but I can't wait for the Lady Cats to catch them in the playoffs.

The Lady Cats turned around and beat Har-Ber 4-0 today and the Conway keeper was tested many times.

I personally find it distasteful when critical comments are posted about teenage athletes. However, when praiseful posts are made about how great a player is, the player is going to be much more closely scrutinzed and when they fall short of the expectations some people are going to jump on that. Additionally, if some soccer fans did not post opinions (both praise and questioning the worthiness of praise) of teams and players, there would not be much to read on this site. Look back over some of the old posts from previous years and you will see that this site is loaded with such talk.

Post by: CatsBack on March 04, 2012, 09:49:05 am
We all should realize that at this level of soccer, no one player is going to "take over and win" a game against good competition. 

On my comments about Alex being a "team player", she created at least 3 scoring opportunities for other players that didn't finish the play.  To open the second half, Alex single handedly dribbled through the Fayetteville defense and then played the ball off to another player who missed the shot.  Could she have taken the shot, sure.  But instead she is a very unselfish player.

I was impressed with how Fayetteville played during the match.  While Conway did have more scoring opportunities, they didn't finish and that's the name of the game.  And this year's Fayetteville team is much more balanced than last year's team. 

Defensively, Conway played an excellent game with the exception of the the penalty. Although Fayetteville rarely threatened, they got the one break they needed to win the game.

Overall, it was a very competitive and well played game.

As good as Alex is (and let me be crystal clear on this - she is very good IMHO), this is the one area of her game I would like to see her improve.  I realize that means she will need to become more selfish (and looks more for her shot) but this is only because she is so unselfish.  Put another way, I'd like my team to depend more on a 25 yard strike from Alex as opposed to setting up a less skilled teammate from half that distance. 

I think a significant contributing factor to her unselfish play is she has spent so much time in the midfield, and as outstanding midfielders do, they look first to set up their teammates for shots on goal.    Given what Conway lost from last year, I think it is fair to say that if the Conway girls are to be in the hunt for a repeat of last year, they will need scoring production from Alex along with her distribution of the ball. 

It is still early in the year and there is a lot of time to sort things like this out but at this point in the year as opposed to last year, Conway has some work to do on the offensive end.

Completely agree with 7/400, When she learns when the time if right to be selfish she will do wonders.
