Has it been a year already? Here in the foothills we are planning for a bottom heavy, but athletic, year. Two seniors, three juniors, and the rest are going to be playing here for quite some time. All but three were involved in club, one team in particular won the league championship. The bad news is that it was the recreational division and they were quickly dismissed from their only tournament entry. They played, they won, they're happy, and that's all I wanted. Confidence and fundamentals are up from a year in which we could not spell the two words. Parents are jumping on board, kids are attending camp, and I have talent developing quickly. Everyone is doing the work to make the program steam away in the right direction. If we get the ship righted, I'll look favorably towards the past and be pleased in my decision to shade my eyes from the appealing "sparkle" in the distance.
Enough blabbering. Mauldin is Mauldin. Enough said. 2002-03 Mauldin? No. Greenwood has a new coach and birds whisper in the air of players coming out for the team that remained hidden under the previous faction. Hanna is exxxxxxxtremely young and raw, but hoping to trump with the underdog card. As the wind blows south I hear that Hillcrest is rebuilding instead of reloading. I'll believe that after the game. Easley has one player to rest moderate hopes on and Westside is attempting to kick down their door en route to some place other than the cellar.
Now, if you could politely return the favor for "The Region of No Return".
