what I love about young teams is they don't know they're supposed to lose. They go out and play every game with the confidence that is unparralled sometimes. Also, they improve faster than most teams since they have so much to learn. Young kids absorb everything you tell them and try their hardest to put it in to practice even if they don't understand it at first. So by the end of the season, you can't really consider them a young team anymore.
As for the district, SC will probably come out on top. The thing I've noticed about them is that they're inconsistent. That's not such a big deal though because even a bad game for them is an excellent game for anyone else. It's just wierd that they come out and beat portland 8-0 and then only beat WH 3-1.
WH is pulling things together and have started clicking at exactly the right time this season. They don't have a team that is as talented as years' past but they are still a threat. Having home field at district helps as well. Thursday will be a defining day for the district as WH takes on Portland
Portland is a young team that has played consistently through the season, but inconsistently during games. When they have things going, they are dominant. If not, things go downhill for them. If they can put a full game together, watch out for these guys
As for the rest of the district, any one team could be the underdog that gets to the final. The line that was drawn in the past between the clear winners and losers in this district is much less defined this year. It's gonna be interesting. That's for sure
