Really dsantiago.. you must not be black.. ur last name is Santiago.. so lets try this again! Your Portuguese claiming your black and saying that we are pulling the race card. I am pulling the race card because your players and refs were clearly racist. THE END!

When did Worcester become so “classless?” Oh wait we didnt. There were no knives, no mace, there was nothing! We defended ourselves after we were attacked. The refs were on the side of Ludlow and not for us. White ref going for a white team.. that spells RACISM to me!

thats not the point. Ludlow is racist and disrespectful. The ref was bias towards Ludlow clearly. Ludlow wouldve lost guarenteed if the reff was different. Just wait till next year

Who won the game?

You should learn to read before asking such an ignorant question

North brought it to the field. They lost and they defended themselves. I didnt speak for everyone when i stated “Portugese National Team.” In fact, ill rephrase it to Ludlow is a disgrace to the game. You guys didnt deserve to beat North and beat them unfairly. You are racists and dont deny it. You need to learn respect. Thank you for admitting Ludlow is disrespectful too. Ludlow better learn some respect because i guarentee that they will fight in the finals too with such disrespectful and vulgar slurs coming out of their mouths CONSTENTLY . Same goes for your fans too. Learn that you cant bully a team to win . Realtalk

Yes, Ludlow has a high population of Portuguese families, but the Ludlow High Soccer team is not a team of only Portuguese kids and in no way is a disgrace to the “Portuguese National Team.” Stop associating the two because all of you that talk about stereotyping, being racist, etc. are doing the same thing by stereotyping the Ludlow team as all Portuguese. People need to think before they post things online. The same goes for anyone from Ludlow making disrespectful comments. You won the game. Instead of sitting online taunting others, go practice and bring it Friday to prove why you won States last year and why you won Semi’s this week. You have nothing to prove with your words or online, bring it to the field.

“Ludlow High School is well known for its sporting teams in soccer, cross country, track and field, and wrestling. The town’s most popular sport traditionally is soccer thanks to Ludlow’s large Portuguese-American population. The high school’s soccer team has won over 20 Massachusetts state championships, with the most recent one in 2010, when they beat the New Bedford High School Whalers 4-1 in the championship game. They were state runners-up in 2009. The high school and town’s tradition of soccer excellence earned it a spot in the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1996″

Wait? We suck at soccer? Then how come you guys weren’t all inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame?

” Is there a 17th state championship awaiting the Ludlow boys soccer team in November?

Or can another Western Massachusetts team break the stranglehold the Lions have had on the sectional title for nearly two decades?

The Lions are coming off their second Division I state championship in three years. They’ve won the last four Western Massachusetts titles, have been in the last eight finals and have won five of those. Since 1994 Ludlow has won 11 of the 17 sectional titles, only missing the title game three times over that span.

The 2010 team, which needed penalty kicks to get by Longmeadow in the sectional semifinals and Amherst in the final, had 17 seniors. For any other program that would signify a rebuilding year or two.

But Ludlow soccer is not like any other program.

“We lost a lot again, but we’ve reloaded and the juniors and sophomores are ready for their turn,” Ludlow coach Greg Kolodziey said. “That’s the luxury in Ludlow.”

More than 100 players tried out for the high school team last month and Kolodziey is reluctant to cut anyone.

Last year he said there were 93 players on the varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams.”

Oh wait, I thought you guys said the Eastern Mass. team would “spank” Ludlow? Why didn’t they last year in 2010? or 2008? Or the fourteen other times before that………….. ?

worcester, gotta hand it to you guys, toughest players out their. ludlow HA all i gotta say

as for the hand ball.. watch the video closely. the ludlow player was falling and hoping the ball would fall into the net with him. Why would ludlow try to knock the ball out? The Worcester North player hit it with his right hand to knock it out. the ludlow player jumped up asking for a hand ball….not knowing a goal was made. Watch closely and be honest with yourselfs.
