Will Chillicothe get crap for beating Washington Court House 17-0 tonight?

Chillicothe / Wash CH

First off, yes... this is way too many goals. that being said

Chillicothe brought 2/3 of the JV team up and started them....they played the most of the first half. The starters sat most of the game.
Restrictions were in place early. Only score off headers or a volley. Only score with opposite foot. No one can score until so-and-so scores who has never scored a goal before. Ball has to go back to GK or touch all defenders.... etc... It could have been 20-0 at half. You can only do so much before the game becomes a farce.

Short of taking players off the field and playing 8 v 11 with the entire JV, or playing 60 min of keep away, this is what you get. And I personally think both those options are far more embarrassing to the other players and team. They don't want to do that. You can't stop playing the game altogether.

Chillicothe has tried repeated to get the AD's and the principals in this league to play each other just one time... not a home-and-home as they do now. They would rather schedule Chillicothe twice and have lopsided games like this because its convenient. God forbid they have to do a little more work scheduling. Do they realize they can still schedule each other twice and Chillicothe just once and make the first time around the league game for standings? They would have to schedule one additional game!

Chillicothe plays Washington CH again Saturday. Its another game wasted for the varsity. If they play it a 25-0 score. If they don't they get to get on the bus at 7:45 (traveling with girls varsity who plays at 9) and sit until the bus returns about 1:30 pm., and we can't keep the score low enough to please the naysayers.

Its a no win situation for the coaches, players and the fans. The varsity parents spend their Saturday mornings traveling to watch their sons sit.

Kudos to Washington CH for fielding a team this year when it would have been easy to cancel the season. They played hard, they played clean, and they didn't quit. If one team doesn't play its not a game.

On a side note... what is done in other sports? When Wheelersburg is up 45 -0 in football do you have the QB go out and kneel 3 times then punt? If you're up in baseball by double digits early do you have your hitter go up and take all the pitches and concede the strikeout? Do you have your pitcher throw underhand? In basketball do you just play keep away and not shoot? The answer is no in all cases. It does not happen. You don't stop playing the game. You put in your second and third string and implement strategies to manage the score, and you play the game. Not going forward with the ball is not playing the game.

soccer needs a mercy rule like ky. 10 goal lead and the game is over

No doubt and surprised mercy rule not in effect already. Nobody (other than players' padded stats) benefits from scores like 18-0.*

With the talk of a mercy rule and looking at scores above, any chance that SOC revisits in the offseason the idea of Portsmouth West being moved to SOC I for soccer? Hard to build a program while getting beatdown by 8-9 goals every conference game (10 games/year). It would give West a chance to downgrade their schedule and compete going forward. Again, another idea that makes too much sense.*

West moving down to the SOC1 would be beneficial for all. Along with allowing them to be more competitive, it would balance the SOC1/2 at 5 teams each. This allows everyone in the SOC 2 to schedule more out of conference games. The downside would be that schools in the SOC1 like St. Joseph with 27 boys would be playing against West with 201 boys, but it would not be a competitive issue, just a size issue.

Shifting West to SOC 1 a good move. Give them chances to be competitive.
