Lake Highlands D1 outlook

Anybody have any knowledge of this past weekends game?

Especially how Penn lost 4-0 to Haylock right out of the gate.

Not many saw that coming or the Celtic/Sting tie

Is USA going to blow through D2 on their way to D1 or is there anyone who can stop them?

Penn must have had a "Natty Lite" hangover

Penn hasn't beaten Haylock since 10/16. Not a shock that Haylock beat them.

I think it was more the score than the win over Penn. Early polls say it might be a 2 horse race. Beyond that this age group seems like a group of 15-20 teams from D1-D3 could beat each other on any given day....won't say which teams are in that group-that's for the fans to decide.

Haylock already bringing in the hired guns?

I don't think so. If by "hired guns" you mean their regular roster, then yes. I'm pretty sure they played their regulars.

Not a single one.

Without Sting CPP...Celtic +2

Not any CPP or duel rostered players.

D1 outlook:

Not sure about ultimate standings but each and every week there will be posts complaining about CPP use. Rack me.

No complaints here when player passing is used in the right way. Just don’t accuse teams that don’t CPP or dual roster. Fact: Haylock did not dual roster or CPP this past weekend. In addition, we did only ONE time last year for one game and that was to add a back up keeper off of his 06 LH team. She did not play in that game. Yes, it can be frustrating to see gamecards, week after week with not only the CPP, but dual rostered players. We always welcome the challenge though. Haylock has kept a solid team with many players returning year after year and has improved throughout the years due to coaching and development. My DD is one. We are proud of our team and together we win, lose or draw. If anyone has any questions regarding our team, we are quite transparent and happy to answer any questions. We hope that everyone has a great year and we will see you on the pitch!

Any predictions for the first half?

Talked to some of the other teams parents, their weren't complaining about any cpp.
They just said your girls showed up ready to play and just flat out took it to their team.
Good Luck this season.

I think the outlook is cloudy after 1 game. It would appear as if it will be a 2 horse race but Celtic may have something to say about that as well as the other clubs who will player pass. Always a wild card.

Completely agree, its difficult after 1 week and not everyone has played but for the sake of discussion I'll throw out USA will eventually level out at D2 or bottom of D1. For this season Celtic will finish the fall in the top half, don't think thats a surprise to anyone. As far as everyone else this weekend PLD will give us a really good idea of what to expect going forward.

This team (Haylock) wasn't really a threat until last season. I just looked back at their history on the LH site...they have developed and improved every season.

2015-2016: Finished 18th of 20 in D1...squeeked into the super-group Age Pure D1 for the following season (known as Andromeda Red at the time)
2016-2017: Moved up to 6th in D1...looks like Age Pure may have benefitted Haylock here, and/or they added some talent
2017-2018: Finished 4th in D1, and were extremely competitive with the top-3

If they truly haven't used CPP to help out in the past, then big kudos to the hard work by these players and coach.

Did anybody see any of the tournaments this weekend?

Yeah.. Half the teams won and half the teams lost.

Haylock and Penn went at it again in the final of the gold division. Penn won 2-1. Sounds like a good rivalry.
