Solution to all this "talk." Ya'll come on down to MPSC. This is a numbers thing. You have to have the talent available to put together a kick-butt team(s) that can compete with the best in the nation. We have been to Regionals and I can tell you, we need more talent than is available in just the Lowcountry, at least at the 1989 level. Sure, a team may be pretty good in the state, such as ****89 Premier but how do they compete in the Premier league. Not too good. This is not meant to talk poorly of them but it is the truth. If you really want to compete on the national level - it will take combining ALL clubs in SC or putting together the best on one team.
I have seen all the talent from each of the three areas of SC in the Challenge league and on ****89. No one team or area in SC can compete at the national level. If anyone thinks they can, you are only fooling yourself.
If the goal is to compete at that level, it is going to take more than combining Chas area or COLA area clubs. Just the truth!
