I agree...best 2 teams in that half of the SOC

Northwest won 5-0

I honestly don't see Northwest losing a single game this year. Their offensive firepower is unreal. They have a short window though since it seems their lower classes will likely be middle to bottom of the SOC.

Not real sure about bottom of SOC for NW. They have 3 freshman that played good minutes with first string in the games
I watched. Also...2 sophomores who start now...plus 4-5 Juniors who also do, one arguably the best player in league with the Throckmorton kid. They do lose a few keys guys don't get my wrong. Was told they also got 11 freshman out this season, several in which hadn't played in a few years or switched over from fball but are athletic. I'm not arguing that they will be as good by no means, but bottom I doubt. Think it will be more of a 5 team race like it should be, a lot more exciting for us fans

Agree with you soccerguy. The freshmen at NW have potential. There is a lot of speed there. They are learning from the upperclassmen and buying into Coach Keeney's program. Also, with the way this year is going they are getting valuable playing experience without stress of close games. With them getting playing time with some of the Junior starters, chemistry is being built. It will be interesting if they give player of year to Evan or not, not sure how many Juniors ever got that.

Burg at Northwest tonight!
Northwest has a chance to sweep the SOC 2 first round of games with a win at home. Have they ever done this? When was last time they won the SOC?

Don't get me wrong, they will still be very good. It's just that every other team in the SOC has very good classes coming up as well, and they seem to be outclassed. I would still expect them to be a 7-8 win team. That's just my opinion though after seeing every team play.

You're right about the five team race. This year there is no race. In two or three years, it seems every team will be competitive.
