Canal is having a pretty good season. I like that they won on the road at Hilliard Davidson. I know they have a tough keeper in Reher and with Byrd in your back line and Snider anywhere on the field - it's a good team. What else is working for Canal? The Counts girls? I heard one signed with Capital.
How far can Canal reasonably go in the tournament? Any thoughts?

They have had a really nice resurgence these last two years. They have a lot of seniors this season but their core are mostly sophs and juniors. I think they can make a run. If I remember correctly they ran through the competition in preseason at the EIS tournament, winning all games against teams like Darby and Grove City. Not that that means much but they know they can hang with the big dogs. Early scrimmage against Gahanna was very competitive. Good wins against BW and HD.

Will be interested to see how they do in the tournament. I'm usually a little leery about preseason scrimmages, especially before tryouts/cuts - like EIS. That said, there are some good teams they are beating. Thanks for the analysis. I do think several of the players are tough competition.

Yes, you're definitely right, those preseason things should not be taken into consideration when assessing teams in season. The point I (poorly) tried to make was that, I think Canal girls should have more confidence this year, after a big season last year. They were mediocre for many years so are not used to competing for league titles and fighting for district titles.
