My daughter has a friend that plays on that team.  The coach has changed up the positions of the girls.  They have one of the top scoring players playing in the midfield.  Let me tell you if he put these girls in the proper positions they would be unstoppable.  The talent on that team is unbelievable.  But it is good for opposing teams that can pack it in and get away with a 1-0 win because Nederland will definitely not score in this formation.

Ok thanks for the info. I'm assuming your talking about Sheppard? Makes sense why the scoring is down but doesn't make sense why she's not playing forward.  I would think with her up top she would draw in defenders and actually make opportunities to score for other players easier. She played up top last year and they scored plenty of goals. I'm curious of how many goals are being scored by other girls this year vs last year with her not playing up top. If I'm a coach on one of the teams in the district, I would be very happy to she her in the midfield. It makes it much easier to defend and keep a eye on her. IMO she is much more valuable to the team up top, rather playing midfield. I can promise you that none of the other teams want to see her up top.

Now the problem is if she is up front is there anyone that can set her up for success in the midfield.  We (PNG) are a very balanced team with a very good coach that understands where our girls fit.  I know most of the girls from club soccer but haven't seen them play, without MS up front they will struggle to score.

Oh yeah, they have about 3 girls that could get her the ball but one in particular would be my choice. She played midfield as a freshman and sophomore. Phebeo Short. She was asked to play defense because of a injury to Hughes. Nederland has a team full of capable defenders. They could be a very balanced team on both ends of the field. No reason this team couldn't average 2 to 3 goals a game. I will have a chance to see them in action Friday.

Ya’ll are undefeated and just beat the #8 ranked team huh? Maybe he is trying to develope other scorers? He knows he can put Sheppard up top and score whenever. What happens when a team shuts her down and others cant score? So he may just be testing the waters until it really counts.

I had a chance to watch them Friday and I can see why the scoring is down this year.  I think it's more about the formation they play. Nederland has some other girls who can put it in the net but with Sheppard up top with them helps. In the 4-4-2 (which at times looked like a 4-5-1) your asking your outside girls to cover 80 yards of field. So what ends up happening is they sag more on the defensive side of the field. So when Nederland gets runs it ends up being 1 vs 4 or 2 vs 4. It's very difficult to score or even get shots versus good teams. IMO they should play a 4-3-3.  This will help spread the field and put more numbers up top because I also noticed that Nederland kept getting in there own way. It's way to congested. This is from my perspective. To me the 5 yard passes they were doing is useless. I hope they figure it out because the team I saw Friday will be lucky to finish 3rd.

      You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.

      This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.

      I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.
