High school soccer: Back to normal: After a crazy 2007, traditional powers are favorites again

Region 3? | 8:50 a.m. March 18, 2008

Is there nosuch thing as Region 3 in 5A? Ya sure Region 3 isn't known for yielding perennial powerhouse soccer teams. But there are definitely some teams in Region 3 that will do some damage this year.

Brighton soccer fan, sorry pal but Brighton was lucky to get away with a tie when they played Bountiful,on your field. If that game had been played in Bountiful the results would have been the same as last year. 3-1 for the Braves. Today Jordan was lucky to run out of the stadium with relief on their faces as they were dominated by the Braves the score was 3-3. Our 1st team all-state GK Brian Simmons was ill today, so we played with our JV GK, both of Huesteds goals were goalie error, mistakes Brian wouldn't have made, result would have been Braves 3-1 over the Lucky beetdiggers, the Bountiful Braves are the best soccer team in the state, any classification. Michael, Judd, Jim, Budge, Weston, Tyson, Jamie, Colton, JJ, and Joe adds up to a very dangerous team. Go Braves...

WOW NOSTRADOMIS | 9:43 p.m. March 18, 2008

you are really going to say that bountiful dominated the whole game. You are obviously a bountiful player or fan swinging from your team. Before you post a comment make sure to be at least open minded and not just swing from your team because you are affiliated with them.

better than 1 win 2 losses | 10:40 p.m. March 18, 2008

Bountiful's "JV Keeper" prevented what seemed like a sure loss to Brighton on the Bengals home field with a outstanding save on Mike Nielsen! Your beloved Braves couldn't score on Brighton with 1 man down from that point on and the entire second half...think before you communicate, your ignorance is apparent and unbelieveable!!!

Go Jordan! | 11:04 p.m. March 18, 2008

Give Jake Hustedt credit! He beat the Bountiful defense twice today and applied offensive pressure throughout the match. Bountiful is a good team that will only get better as will Jordan. Good luck Braves the rest of the way!

Come on Nostradomis | 10:22 a.m. March 19, 2008

We all know that if Brian Simmons was in the goal that Hustedt would have scored on him too. He is just an oustanding player, and on both of the goals he scored the ball never should have got to him anyways. When they did there was nothing the "JV Keeper" could do about it. He placed both perfectly and timed them to perfection as well. So don't automatically blame it on the "JV Keeper" cause there wasn't much help from the backline either on the two Hustedt goals.

I love it, God Bless America.....where else!

ya alta is gonna win state | 3:34 p.m. March 20, 2008

yep

nostradomis | 4:56 p.m. March 20, 2008

Hustedt is a good player, nothing more. I'd take last years Salt Lake Tribune 5A MVP from Jordan HS, Marco Angelo any day and he deserved that MVP status in both papers.....

Hey East, Olympus goes for the 3-peat in region this year. Not only that, we have the talent to take state if we peak at the right time.

haha nostradomis | 1:57 p.m. April 1, 2008

Sounds to me like no one agrees with anything you say.. haha. I guarantee Brighton could win Bountiful ANYDAY! Bountiful gets lucky way to much. you better save some of that luck for the play offs! Your GONNA need it!!

re: Oly Titan | 10:19 a.m. April 3, 2008

"we have the talent to take state if we peak at the right time" haha wow i believe that is true for every team!

Big G | 1:08 p.m. April 6, 2008

I agree with "haha nostradomis" bountiful seems to get lucky every time they play. If i can read right i believe it says that bountiful has only won one game. You have to win games in order to take state again, last year they could . . . this year not so much
