Lake Highlands - Week 6 - Game of the Week

Tomorrow's game between the Dallas Texans West and Solar Haylock should be an exciting battle. Both teams are in the hunt for 1st place. Who comes out with the win?

Ok. Everyone else will be encouraging their DD to be "fishing" also.

I hope the ref gave that team 2 yellows.. a DR and a UB..

Texans - Haylock will be good game. I think Texans edges them out 1-0

I am guessing it will be another low score outing. Similar to Solar's last game against Fever but will give Solar the win at 1-0.

Pack up the plane Priscilla.. Were goin to vegas.. Viva Las Vegas baby.. Puttin all my scratch on 13 Black

Our Daughter played right after this one. DT dominated the half we were able to watch. Solar was chasing the whole time and DT was on Solar's half 90% of the second half. Solar did miss a PK when a DT Defender clipped the forward very close to the 18. I don't think this was a very competitive game from my honest observation. Is DT the top team in the 05 Division? This is the second time we have seen them (VS LP Elite) and they look like they are very strong. Who else can match them?

I was pretty disappointed with the Solar vs DT game. DT possessed the ball the entire time, but struggled with finishing. DT almost handed the tie to Solar, but they missed the PK. Solar booted the ball from the back and rarely connected any passes or maintained possession. I think the only shots Solar had towards goal were from two set pieces.

The finishing part in other leagues seems to be the Achilles across the board. The closer is what's missing for most teams. It's universal there's only so many aces. Maybe they will pull the house ace next game for the games this weekend.

If I'm reading between the lines DT West uses Ringers like DTS does. I'm referring to the "Maybe they will pull the house ace next game for the games this weekend", Comment.

I guess this makes sense why they are so strong if they are pulling bits and pieces from DTS, ECNL and other DT Teams.

What roster shows up Sat if I was a betting man your odds are better at the slots in the backroom pool.alley.

Wrong prescription Med man. Here to clear any confusion regarding DTW Diaz 05, no DA, no ECNL. Pure and simple, team stayed together and develops together.

Think big picture. My odds are on the slots.

I may be a bit biased but I think the observations of those who watched part of the game are a bit harsh. Totally agree DT looked better tactically. They move the ball around well in the back and occasionally to the mids but seem to lack a real threat on the attack. Yes, DT claims the time of possession battle but I feel this game was a very competitive game. Was 0-0 at half and their goal if I remember right came off a corner that bounced around in the box for what seemed like an eternity. Not many quality shots from either side. A couple, but it’s not as if DT was peppering the goal. Just my opinion.

I talked to DA ECNL and a mixed bag of other parents a strong forward is hard to find these days that has 1 V 1 skills and to close against a seasoned goalie.

As I have two DD that play in LH. One in D1 and another in D2 (03). Proud of both and my DDs progressing through training and games. My girls have been with the best coaches for them. Let's remember that it's about development and our girls enjoying every second of play time. I know mine do:) ECNL, DA are great venues! However, sometimes we have players that want to aspire to be the best they can be where they play now. Some could play in ECNL or DA, but we choose our team as we grow and develop. So, for every team out there working hard and improving, that's what it is all about!

I don't really care about the amount of dual rostered players and CPP it's just funny when people try to assume a game results when the rosters change every game. I don't know why the coaches at the bigs belittle the league or the social media marketers on their payroll push a product. when they continue to worry about their byes and staying valid in LH.

Are we that naive on the forum or do they just live in a bubble.

Did you place your bets?

Kinda feels like you're in the midst of casting for Billy Madison when reading this, doesn't it?
