4-2 Burg

Rosecrans 5-0

Alexander vs Lynchburg-Clay
I have Alexander 3-2

Rosecrans wins the game one to nothing… Roughing was questionable at best… Rosecrans advances to the regional semi- finals for the second straight year

What's the story? 1 - 0. Good game?

It was a good game... Both teams play physical... 5 yellows.

As a parent of a soccer player, I was saddened to hear that a Burg player was using racial slurs and another refused to shake the hand of the Rosecrans assistant coach.

Good luck Rosecrans!!

Not sure about that claim, but Rosecrans is an arrogant group as is their leader. The words exchanged likely were more about game play than race

Never has the N word been part of any soccer I have ever been part of!!

And 4th, arrogance can be mistaken for pride. But racial slurs are a sign of ignorance!!!

The Burg player in question is non Caucasian, so I am not sure that carries much weight in this case. Pride carries a fair amount of sportsmanship with it, which is not there

I don't believe that statement at all! I can't see not one kid on that team being disrespectful to anyone! If you didn't hear it with your own ears then don't spread rumors!

Good luck Columbus Academy

Can't speak to the language comment; although I've never heard of this type of comment ever occurring before with this team. As for the assistant coach, she was late getting into the line to shake hands, and the individual you are speaking of had no idea she was even a coach. It's easy to make comments based on a perception of the events, but social media is not the place for any of it.

Best of Luck to all remaining teams!

Great job Alexander. Keep playing with confidence.
