Farkas - I felt that the overall play of the game was "about what was expected" with only one practice afforded the players and coaches. There was a very good display of individual skill, but the overall cohesiveness of the teams play was sporadic due in large part to these players not having played together before -- some were still learning each others names in pregame warmups!
Hopefully in the future, we will return to bringing the players in on Thursday, and this will allow us to hold four practices rather than just one session. Of course, for us to do so, it will require more $$$ which is the great enigma!
Thanks for the kind words and I do believe that all the players and coaches had a positive all-star experience. I for one, loved the setup at USC Upstate - a great facility within walking distance to all functions and a great pitch and stadium for the match!
