Cat,

My point is that you should be extremely proud of how well the Woodruff program has come along in the past few years. You, yourself, have certainly had a direct, or indirect, role in getting the girls to where they are today.

SCHSL 2A Upperstate Champions.

The reason that you didn't win the state title this year is not because BE is a private, Catholic school. It's because on the afternoon of May 16, in the last 40 minutes of the match, the Battling Bishops proved to be the better team.

That's all....no shame in losing. You had a great year.

If you want to talk about kids in a "disadvantaged situation", with respect to soccer, I'd be more open to listening about the trials and tribulations of a 4A Hartsville or a 4A Darlington. Those kids do not have immediate access to a high-level club soccer program.

Again, kudos to Woodruff....great season.

(PS - Watch out for Barnwell in three years!)


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
