For the Irmo game they were down 4 or 5 starters. Will they be at full strength on Friday? I didn't do it, but if I had you never would have known.

Against DF lex was without 2 different starters those two have also returned. I know you where asking about SV but I just thought I would mention it. Either way it is going to be a good game with SV looking get a little revenge on Lex after the game down in Charleston. To play the game is good, to win the game is great, to LOVE the game is the greatest!

Having enough character to play the game is just as important as having enough skill to play the game. If they are not disciplined enough and don't love the game enough to keep soccer qualified - then this is a team that is only capable of playing at maybe 75% level. So - lower the expectation to a 75% level team as you would a team will only 75% skill level. There is no such thing as a "full strength" SV team because some ( by no means all - there are some great kids on that team ) of the kids don't have the off field discipline to play at full strength on the field.

From my days coaching HS football I truly believe that a kid that will let you down OFF the field, will also let you down ON the field,usually at a crucial time.This lesson was a painful one learned through experience.

There might just be a bit of a problem there and it has yet to be, nor do I see it being, fixed anytime soon. Spring Valley overall has a great team with great potential and many talented and good-hearted players that are being negated by other player's behavior.

Lexington 5-4 winner on PKs. I felt SV played much better tonight than they did when they last met Lex in Mt. Pleasant, but I would still have to give the edge in play to Lexington. They had several nice buildups, I didn't do it, but if I had you never would have known.
