Guest Guest Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Easily the fastest player in the conference-yes even faster than Economo. There were a half dozen Corning kids that decided not to play. Imagine what might have been....................... Throwing around names means nothing if you can't even pick the right names to throw around. Economou isn't the fastest player on his own team, so why is being faster than him any big deal? At least you should have named Felton for Vestal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it'll be a higher scoring affair. Sounds like Oneonta D is suspect, but O is great. I bet closer to Vestal score, 4-3 Oneonta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Oneonta D is suspect, but O is great. I bet closer to Vestal score, 4-3 Oneonta. Oneonta's O has been average this year to be honest, they lack the Dan Joseph, Eric Deemer type stud they had in years past. Brown and VanPel are solid but not the next level type of player the other guys were. I think they could pull it off but they aren't used to the turf like most of the small schools they are a team that plays on grass normally so that could factor in. Any guesses on Sectionals? AA should be a wide open race any of the 4 can win it, the top three in A look like they can as well but ME losing to SV scares me the keeper injury could haunt them. SV and Oneonta in B looks to be a rematch that should happen in B. Lansing should take C and have a deep run in states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 STAC Final Oneonta 3 vs Corning 2 in OT. For what it is worth, I think Vestal steps it up from here, they have more depth than any team in STAC, and they pull off the Class A win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Oh and this ME v SV game I heard was the same as the JC v Greene game where it was m-e JVs v SV. Also heard it was a scrimmage, big difference from it being an actual game meaning something You heard wrong, no JVs for ME at that game outside of the injured goalie for ME they played their starters most of the game. Crowle played all game at center back for ME, both Osovski boys and Kollar played until SV subbed their starters out with ten to play and a three goal lead. SV is a good team and should have a heck of a rematch with Oneonta for the B title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've seen almost all the schools in stac play this season. I would rank Vestal, M-E, Elmira, Corning, Ithaca and maybe even U-E ahead of JC. Admittedly, i'm a U-E supporter. Well you didn't rank the STAC champ Oneonta or the two teams that beat them SV and JC so I'd say its safe to throw out your opinion. I tried to tell you the small school teams were no joke but you didn't want to believe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV didn't even make the STAC playoffs and JC was outmatched by Corning. SV and JC are most definately a notch below Vestal, Elmira, Corning and maybe even Ithaca.

Guest Kevin Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Since we are all talking about players missing, Corning is missing arguably its most dangerous offensive player. Jon Michael Tokar, the kicker for the football team left, and was last year's leading scorer, He also led in yellow cards too, so it could be an addition by subtraction in that way. The kid is a Division 1 lacrosse player, and is now being looked at by D1 schools for kicking. Tells you the type of athlete he is. Easily the fastest player in the conference-yes even faster than Economo. There were a half dozen Corning kids that decided not to play. Imagine what might have been.......................

SV and JC are most definately a notch below Vestal, Elmira, Corning and maybe even Ithaca. SV and JC beat Oneonta, both of them are equal to above any of the teams you mentioned. SV didn't make the playoffs? neither did Elmira, Ithaca, UE or ME- all other teams you had previously mentioned as being good, only one team per division makes it so thats a dumb thing to say. JC was not out matched, they play a defensive style while trying for quick counters and it almost worked he game ended in a tie. They rarel dominate a full game even when they win its just not how they play, very similar to Elmira actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that local teams all win and make it to at least 1 state playoff game. The kids deserve it not the people posting on this web site. I think that Elmira could in AA vestal in A and SV in B. good luck to all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 With the STAC season over and sectionals coming up this week here are some thoughts. Teams with established soccer guys in charge really had much better years than others, it was really evident this season. Corning, Elmira, Vestal, ME, JC, SV, & Oneonta were all the top two in STAC play and not shockingly they all have good coaches. UE and Owego are also up and coming in that area they could be stronger in years to come if they keep their coaches. With less and less kids playing travel soccer its more telling who has coaching and who doesn't. That will continue to show in sectional play. The top players Purtell, Alex, Mac, Rood are more important than ever to their teams. In years past many teams had a few guys deep but the drop off from the top guys to the next level anymore is huge. Vestal and JC have big questions with injuries to their top players and ME has to find an answer in goal as well. Could be a wide open race in Class A, might the healthiest team be Owego? Class B can SV stop the run that Oneonta is on? AA is wide open but I really can't see any of those teams doing much out of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching is and always has been a major contributor to good teams and programs. It's possible for a good coach to have a bad season or a bad coach to have a good season, but the best coaches in the area obviously have more good seasons than bad. Of those coaches, I think that only corning has more to prove. They are in the process of a very good season under a new coach but maintaining that level of play over a number of seasons will be the difficult part.

Two of the four are incorrect. Also-No one has been AA class #1 seed except Vestal in how long? That was a stupid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 M-E steps their game up again at the right time of year, helped by the return of GK. Beats JC 2-1, they had they better of play and deserved the win no question about it. JC really needs to find a style other than the dump and chase while hoping to convert set pieces to consistently beat better teams. Purtell looked ok not sure what the injury was that kept him out of the STAC semi, couldn't have been anything too major from the way he played today.

Guest Guest Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ithaca over Elmira 5-2 today. Elmira doesn't look anything like they did the first half of the season. Injuries look like they have taken the heart out of that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
