ST,

Your on going infatuation with the sophomore class at Pinewood is becoming annoying. They are a big part of the team, yes. They are the "future". What they are doing right now, either knowingly or unknowingly is trying to figure out "who's the man" and at times don't play smart, simple, effective soccer. Your posts are fueling that.

Apparently, not understanding the psychology of a team sport is evident in your comment. If comments are warranted be specific. With any team supporters expect perfection. Fact, Pinewood Prep is 5-0-0 in league play, 5-1-0 against 4A schools and defeated the 2A state champion. Fact, Pinewood Prep’s team is young, with senior leadership, but the team knows how to win. That’s called character.
The season has just begun and training continues weekly. Pinewood Prep's experienced coaching staff will have the team peaking at the right time just before the state tournament. Anything that I analyze/post on this site will be positive, respectfully read yours.

Congratulations to Malcolm Reed on a successful high school career. Outstanding article in the Post and Courier.

Actually, the pyscological understanding of a team sport is foremost in my post. From the article on Reed, comments attributed to Coach Birchwood.

"He's a great player, but some people say he doesn't talk enough. But why talk when your actions, your performance, say enough."

This kind of gets at what was intended to be my point. Make the following substitutions.

They are a great team, but some people say they don't........

What happened with pinewood and BE

I think everyone was hoping to see Bishop England play Pinewood Prep in the finals of the West Ashley Tournament, unfortunately, Bishop England lost to what seemed to be the underestimated Academic Magnet and didn't make it to the finals. And Pinewood went on to win first place. Anyone know if the BE-PP game that was canceled due to weather will be rescheduled?

Pinewood travels to Hammond on Monday April 20, any predictions? is this game a measuring stick for Pinewood and CN b/c Hammond will have played both these teams?

It seems hammond always plays their best games against CN

Academic Magnet would be the better measuring stick, i believe. Because im afraid Hammond isn't very strong this year from what i've heard. And PP plays Academic Magnet on Tuesday. So i think the result of that game will tell you more.
