Truth corner kick T Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 218	Quote: Hey Harry, any more clever comments? Yes, I have one. I'm looking at the CSC website and I see the '90 commitments. I'm wondering why Doug Ryan had to 'settle' for committing to in-state Wake Forest and why Megan Brigman had to 'settle' for committing to UNC-CH. If only they had gone to more big events, they could have gone somewhere out of state. Their club must have let them down.

Hurst66 world cup Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 5,659 Tega Cay, SC	About six years ago, a CESA Premier (heck, it could have been a St. Giles team) played in the Raleigh (CASL) Shootout. They were the top seed in the SCYSA state cup and they earned the right to host the first round match versus a Discoveries U-18 team. The team from Greenville decided to play Discoveries in Rock Hill on the Friday night before the tournament. They drove up, escaped with a 1-0 win on a goal in the last five minutes (they were obviously thinking about The Shootout), and then jumped in their cars and headed back up I-85 to Raleigh. I thought that was pretty cool (and I never heard how they did in the tournament that weekend). I don't think you can pull this trick now because CASL requires you to play matches on Friday. Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I am asking this with real sincerity--How does a CESA team NOT get in to the CASL tournament? I realize that the CESA teams may not "kick can" in the Premier league or in Regionals but they still are the best club in SC--how can they not be allowed in the tourney?
