I know we'll be talking about this later on today, so I'll start the thead now.
Good luck to both teams today - I think everyone's expecting a great game from both sides.
Without discounting Lovett's abilities, I'm picking Lassiter to win this game today.
Go Trojans!

Lovett 15
Lassiter 8
(I think?)
Lassiter got outplayed. Its that simple. Lassiter looked strong in the first quarter, but past that went downhill. Was a close game all the way up to the half ( 7-7) but then it was all Lovett. Lovett forced Lassiter to play a slow and controlled game, and that completely shut the Lassiter offense down. The officiating was pretty bad (like in the first quarter a Lovett kid was running with both feet out of bounds right infront of the scorebox and nothing was called), but it didnt really have a major effect on the game.
Anyone know what happened to number 2 for Lovett? That shot from Fanning right in the nads looked pretty painful.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that game pretty much settles not only who is the best team in the state, but also the best player (Neal Hicks). I feel sorry for #30 on Lassiter because Neal made him fall down by juking him atleast 3 or 4 times, it was awesome. I don't think anyone in the state can cover him one on one. Like Laxmiddie says the first half was back and forth, but second half, Lovett just took over the game. I'd say the officiating was average. Fanning for Lassiter didn't do anything, still think it is absoutely ridiculous he got all-american, he is no where near the same level as Neal or even David Sibley (#12). Crawford got badly outplayed by Heaton, it was the best game I have seen him play. Lovett always seems to find a way to turn it up in the playoffs, there is no doubt as to who the best team is. That makes it 5 of the last 6 for the Lovett Lions.
WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovett dominated the second half. Forced Lassiter into alot of turnovers. I don't think Lassiter had 10 shots in the second half. Hicks played great. Statechamp, you need to get a life and some class. Trashing Fanning shows how small a person you are. Did he deck you hard last year and you still can't get over it? Lovett deserved to win and they did. By the way Crawford had 23 saves to 18 by Heaton. Both goalie played well.

Lassiter was just looking plain bad. Fanning may be the best finisher in the state according to some people, but Lassiter offense wasnt giving him anything. Their offense was relying on Bradshaw to start something the whole game, and after Lovett caught on, they had nothing.
Not to take anything away from Lovett, but Lassiter was killing themselves today. They were playing sloppy, they didnt look like they had any stick skills, and they werent even really playing as physical as they have before.

i much as i hate to say it, congrats lovett
yeah that game sucked. the defense just wasntd what it usuallly was, offense to, the whole team in general, man that was bad. seemed like lhs was being beat in the bginnning but tied it with like 2 sec. left in halftime by fanning-that was a killer shot, god that was awsome, i thought we could turn things around after that but... man, they looked really tired out there. i wish theycould have played how they did against westminster, yeah the refs sucked to, they called some bs, it was kind of funny seeing them kind of hiding by the baseball feilds with a cop standing by them.

yeah the refs sucked to, they called some bs, Hey, don't even start on the refs having anything to do with this loss - Lovett played the game aggressively the entire game and just outplayed Lassiter the entire game. I'm sorry, but the refs had absolutely nothing to do with Lassiter losing this game today. Congrats to Lovett - they took it to Lassiter today and the result really showed just how dominant they were today. Lovett earned that State Championship. |

To reiterate what several people have already said, the refs had nothing to do with Lassiter losing or lovett winning.
Lovett going multiple with their offense and Lassiter not adjusting at all during halftime? much more like it...
A great game to watch, we saw some very good players go to work...Heaton played out of his mind (he tends to in big games) as did crawford, its just that crawford got bombarded all day. Lassiter just couldnt take it away from Lovett when they played defense, a credit to the sticks of Lovett. I think david sibley (#12) is the best midfielder in the state. His half-field pass to his brother on the crease was an amazing play, Lassiters d never saw it coming...he led the break and gave Lovett most of their oppourtunites coming from their defensive end. Hicks was all over the place, but to the credit of Lassiter, those guys just got tired after being on defense the whole second half...Hicks just makes his own opportunites and capitalizes, which is why hes so good (like his goal of the helmet of crawford)...Bradshaw (#8), not usually a big 1 v 1 dodger, also made some big plays and Lovetts d had big trouble with him early, im not sure why he stopped dodging in the second half, he definatley had his matchup.
A great game,i just hope some other teams will make some noise next year so we dont have to see lassiter/lovett all over agian...

plain and simple lovett is a better team than lassiter. get over it. they outplayed lassiter in almost every aspect of the game. winning by 7 in the state championship, i mean wow. they deserved it much more than lassiter especially after seeing lassiters fans talking trash the whole game, shows who has more class.

your fans talking trash having nothing to do with how classy you or your team is. Its people who go to your school that you have no control over. And lovett kids talk trash too, ive heard them. Is lovett still a classy team...well id say theyre just as classy as Lassiter...
You know, its kind of ironic, because YOU make lovett look less classy by talking...and, if your better (lovett did win), you shouldnt need to talk about things like class. Actions > words
