That being said they play very defensive and like to score on counter and in transition. With four in the back and a defensive mid in front. They do not have a true dynamic creative scoring player that can play with back to goal and /or facing goal. They will try to beat you with speed.
The way to beat them match up with 4-5-1 the 1 up top should stretch field and denie backs from settling and attack outside backs

How the heck is Choate the favorite? There is no universe where the right back could ever stop MM or JD of Berkshire. Choate was lucky to beat NMH.

Worcester is your high scoring team with GF: 49, GA:13 and talk about defenses, Worcester has 8 shut outs and probably 3 more if they didn't choose to clear the bench in high scoring routs where they gave up a goal in each game.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf this is a scouting report on the Choate girls then it describes why they will win the Class A outright if they end up matched up against Nobles. The strength of the Nobles team is their attack. They do a lot with pressure up top to keep the ball in the other teams end and that generates most of their scoring opportunities. Their defense is not that strong though. If Choate can defend and can keep the ball in their end they should beat them.

What about South Kent boys?
South Kent boys beat Berkshire last Saturday 1-0. I know SK is a "B" school. But why wouldn't NEPSAC put them in the A playoffs?

South Kent is perfectly happy winning or coming very close to winning Class B every year instead of competing in Class A.
