Just to add to tad about SV's field to the posts made weeks back. I played on it for its inaugural season and year after. It was hard at the time becuase a transition had to be made coming from Harry Parone. That truely had to have been one of the best fields to ever host a soccer game. (I remember SV vs RV games in 2001 when the stadium would fill to football game sized attendences. And its for that reason I think Parone should host the state championships just because it offers a very good enviornment, atmostphere and a 120 x 70 diminsions...not to mention excellent elevated observance for the spectators on BOTH sides)
anyway
The quality of the field has substantially decreased then from when it opened in '02 and our inaugural game against Brookland-Cacye. The field was in impeccable condition. Now, while its still in 'good' maybe just above average condition compared to most, it saddens me to see it not what it was because I distinctly remember players complimenting us on the quality of the field and I took great pride in that as a testiment to seriousness, dedication, and tradition our school has always had to the sport. But in the matter of its size, I felt it was well above average. (not much more I could say then that)
I always thought Ridge View's field was substantially small, aswell as Sumter's. The worst field I played on was Northwestern's...maybe two years was it? two years before they made their new one. Now that field, that had to have been the worst field I played on. Such unever terrain. But not to rag on Northwestern, they now have a beautiful field.
Ahh, too much nostalgia for one post.
