Papa Hatfield,
I still will be surprised if the CESA 89 Girls don't "do well." True, they just lost their first match to IMG but each team still has 2 more matches to play to earn a spot in the quarters. The top 2 finishers from each group go to the quarters. CESA 89 Girls will have their back against the wall, no doubt, in their next two matches against teams from Mississippi (state champ) and Alabama (PL Central) but I think they will "do well" and advance to the quarters, and maybe the semis, or finals. While I was hoping they could pull out a tie or win against IMG, neither would have been necessarily "expected" and a loss was not completely "unexpected." IMG's team (fka Countryside) has been one of the top teams in the region for several years.
An interesting aside... there should have been 2 future USC Women's teammates on the field (1 for IMG, and 1 for CESA) when the two teams played against each other this morning.
