Hop on the Bandwagon

[FriendswoodFan]

Friendswood stomped Foster 6-1 tonight.  ;D  Now that it's down to the Regional Final 4, and your local teams are done, it's time for SETX to adopt the Lady Mustangs.   

So, everyone don something royal blue, bring a sign that says FriendswoodFan told me to be here, and show up in Humble on Friday to cheer the Lady Musytangs on to victory!  As an added bonus, I'll be signing autographs at halftime!  ;D

[sharkfutbol]

You would never sign an autograph.  You would have to show your face.    ;D   however good luck to Friendswood girls........  I hear the coach is a fine lady.............. 

[soccerfan]

Well minus the sign and autograph.. I would like to see that game. Would rather a team from southeast of Houston advance than a team up north, so why not. Where will the game take place and who against?

[bullets13]

don't know if i can make it, but i might try.  there are some folks out that way i need to go visit anyway.  if i do, i'll be looking for that autograph.  good luck, either way.

[FriendswoodFan]

My face will be there -- as always.  And, "fine" is not an adjective that I would use to describe the "lady."

[sharkfutbol]

Oh let me rephrase it... coach :-[ is a fine person.  good luck friendswood soccer team

[FriendswoodFan]

I understood that's how you meant it.  I -- and virtually everyone else ever involved in the program -- just wouldn't ever describe it that way.  BB is probably one of the few exceptions, and that's only because she is sooooo nice!

[sharkfutbol]

Ha good cuz thats where I heard it .   Sometimes its good to be nice and say good things.. thats me... :-[

[soccerfan]

So day/time/location?

The bottom line folks is that running up a 14-0 score is classless.  Most teams that are any good have a rule to not obtain a double digit lead -- the one FHS win by a 10-0 score was, as I recall the result of an own goal when the score was 9-0 already.  My personal view is that the FHS coach shoud shut it down after a 6 goal lead (except if we ever play Lumberton).  And, there is a big difference between even 10-0 and 14-0.

As for calling the Lumberton girls slow-footed and stout, I have watched them play and slow-footed is an entirely accurate description.  I'm sorry if that hurts, but once (or if) you see teams from outside SE Texas, you will understand.  And, stout actually means strong but arrogant -- which aptly descibes any team that would put up 14 goals against a weak sister like Central!  As for those of you who jumped to the conclusion that I meant chubby or thick, I leave it to you to explain why you would assume such a thing, but don't you dare hang on me your aparently unspoken views about the fitness of the Lumberton players!

You say all these negative and ugly things about our coach, girls, and school, then have the audacity to ask us to pull for Friendswood in the playoffs.  You have no shame FWF.  Midway all the way.

[FriendswoodFan]

Friday at 2:30 at Humble.

And, Rebel, we're playing Santa Fe, not Midway.  So, for you, its go Indians.

I redict that Midway defeats Brenham, and that Friendswood defeats Midway on Saturday.

[Rebel2]

I know who Midway is playing.

I was interjecting that I will pull for Midway through out the region 3 playoffs and not Friendswood. 

With Friendswood and Midway's enrollments of both over 1900 students, yall should play for the region title.

[RDRSCR08]

Its ok Rebel.  None of these top teams started out that way.  Yes, they earned it.  Lumberton will continue to grow and get better while people like this sit on top boasting of their success probably having no hand in it. 

My vote goes to Waco this year.  I dont think FF will be singing about a 4th Regional Championship.  It will be a very good game to watch.

[soccerfan]

What stadium in humble?

Rebel, you might want to look at the posted article on the Lady Raiders, you seem to be the only one who thinks these girls are slow footed, because according to the Waco coach he thought they were pretty fast. His plan was to wear the raiders down with subs from a larger team, a plan that worked and has worked for him all along. Hope Friendswood has a large team if you guys want to hang with them.

[FriendswoodFan]

OldTimer, FYI, Waco Midway's coach has for many years employed the tactic of making mass substitutions frequently throughout the game.  We saw it first hand in the 2006 Region III Championship game when the faster and more talented Lady Mustangs defeated Midway to advance to the State Tournament.  Although the FHS bench is always stocked with talented D1 players, the FHS coach typically does not make many substitutions during playoff games.  The starters play.

I do expect FHS and Midway to advance to the championship game, and I expect a close fought game in the Final.  FYI, FHS is 6-0 in Regional Championship games.  Food for thought.

[Rebel2]

Old time Raider, I never implied that the Lady Raiders were slow.  My daughter is a 4 year starter for them and the entire team has good speed.  What I said was that Midway wore the Raiders down with mass substitution.

[Rebel2]

OTR, what you read in my comments was a copy and paste of what FWF had written about the Lady Raiders.  Those first 2 paragraphs are his words, not mine.  I should have put quotation marks around them.

[FriendswoodFan]

Today's regional semifinal results:

Midway  1

Brenham  0

Friendswood 6

Santa Fe    0

Time to get on the bandwagon SETX!  It's fun to back a winner -- especially when it's FHS!!!  ;D

[bullets13]

FHS is rolling through the competition... a ton of impressive results, especially this deep in the playoffs.

[Guest Newbie]

Congrats on beating Santa Fe for the third time this season.  I see another regional championship in the horizon for the Lady Mustangs.  Unfortunately, I don't see a State championship as I don't see y'all beating JJ Pearce or Wichita Falls Rider.   What I would love to see is a Friendswood-Clear Lake match.  A nice game between neighbors.  Of course I'll be rooting for the Lady Falcons, my niece plays for them.  Good luck on your next game.

[weasel]

Congrats Friendswood Fan on a great run!  PNG is pullin for yall!  Hopefully we get a chance to compete against yall sometime next year...

[FriendswoodFan]

Thanks Newbie and Weasel!  FYI, FHS defeated Waco Midway by a 2-0 score to claim their 4th straight Regional Championship and 7th overall!  See you next year SETX!!!!

[weasel]

Good Luck at State and Congrats!!

[FriendswoodFan]

FYI, today's result was:

Friendswood 3

WF Rider      2

And, yes, AH is the best girls soccer player in all of 4A.  And, no she is not my DD.
