#8 Merrol Hyde at #1 Station Camp 5pm

I'll say the top four seeds win their first round game, followed by a Station Camp v. Portland championship, with Portland winning 3-1.

1st Round:

Station Camp 4, Merrol Hyde 0

FCS 3, MJCA 1

Portland 5, Greenbrier 1

White House 7, Macon Co. 0

 

Semifinals:

Station Camp 3, White House 1

Portland 3, FCS 0

 

Finals:

Portland 2, Station Camp 1

 

I will say that playing on the MJCA football field will definitely be an advantage for SC should they play Portland in the finals, since they play a more direct style while Portland likes to possess the ball down the sidelines. Should be a good tourney and it is by no means a lock for any team. Good luck to all.

I think you're right about who will end up in the finals. However, Station Camp will be the victor. Portland does have a good outside attack, but if you put speedy defenders on those guys, you'll keep them from producing. I saw this happen in an earlier game. Station Camp's threat comes from both their left and middle - some really fast dudes. I think they'll take it 2-0.

I will give you credit for Station Camp's speed, but the speed on their left )Portland's right) will be a wash. Portland's right mid is faster than anyone I have seen on any of the other teams. He is small, but lightning quick. Station Camp's speed through the middle will be their big advantage, though playing on a football field will close a majority of the gaps for them to run through.

Station Camp 6, Merroyl Hyde 2

 

merroyl hyde's goals came in the last 20 min of the game...sc coach took most of the starters out b/c merroyl hyde started hacking and trying to hurt ppl rather than playing the game, which i dont understand b/c if u r getting beat by 5-0 at half then theres no reason to go head hunting, just congratulate the other team for winning and start looking forward to next season!
