In response to "L-E Dude" & "MBfan" about Brookland-Cayce's play in the Class AAA State Championship match Saturday night, I'd like to offer this perspective.
We played poorly in the state final, no doubt! I give credit to Greenville that played exceptionally well and their team speed -- particularly on the outside midfield -- destroyed us. Also, kudos to the Greenville HS student body that showed up en masse to support their team. They were loud and kept their team energized. After the first two goals, we were shell-shocked and just couldn't get back into the game. The more we pressed, the more vulnerable we were in the transition and GHS made us pay.
Congratulations to the Red Raiders for a well played match and also to our Bearcat players for over-achieving much of the season and representing your school and community with class in a difficult situation.
I'm proud of the effort that this team displayed not only this year, but for 4-6 years that these seniors have been in our program. Thanks for helping build our program!
