2. The College of Charleston got money! This field is nice!
3. Congratulations to the two HOF inductees! Those guys have put in work!
4. This game is gonna be hotter than 87 Hells.
5. Score prediction: 3-2 South...MVP Franki Jumper, Swansea, and Katie Soles, Pickens

Unfortunately for Katie after 20 seconds and the elbow she took to the left eye that took her out of the game also took her out of the running for any MVP honors. Oh well off to Gardner Webb and a little college soccer.

this has got to be the worst 1st post in the history of sports board....thanks for the whine & cheese, we know the sport & don't need your lame expanation of why 20 of her teammates weren't in the running for mvp until your favorite got hurt. i hope you are not related to that strong young lady, because i'm sure she is embarrassed for your dumbaz.  ....off to college soccer for special you

Wow... Sandman,chill out!
IMO, ssoles was simply pointing out that one of the players wakaflaka mentioned as potential MVPs in line number 5 ended up getting hurt a few mins. into the game.
Wakaflaka was actually the one who started the MVP talk, not ssoles. But, it was a professional post, no issues.
Sounds like you're the one with whine and cheese... how about reading the entire thread before calling someone a dumbaz.

Sandman,
Man in the yellow hat is correct. Read the entire post before making a comment on something you don't know about. Many of the 18 ladies where eligible for MVP honors however, my daughter was not going to be one of them after the injury she sustained. You are only correct about one thing and that she is a strong young lady and one whom I hoped I taught to be a lot classier than you. Stay Classy.

Couple Notes to wrap up:
1. Hilary Ferguson, West Ashley, and Emma Faubert, Aiken, were Outstanding!! Man! These girls can play!
2. Where were all the Head Coaches that had players represented? Poor, Poor head coach support!
3. The North team? Where were they? Total domination by the South!
4. The facilities at The College of Charleston are top notch! Special thanks to Coach Lundy and Lesesne.
5. Coach Katie Smith, Brookland-Cayce, did a excellent job organizing this event. Special Thanks to her! Can't wait until next year!

From a neutral perspective, I read it as "Hey, Wakaflockameyers, thanks for the vote of confidence but fate had other ideas." Pick a fight much?
I've got good news and bad news...

i probably should be grateful this parent couldn't work in the kids sat, gpa, gifted iq & the reason her little darling turned down harvard for gw soccer like most modern self respecting parents are able to do in two sentences.
i'm just thankful mom felt she had to take the time to register on this site & post the reason why her lil mia jr dissapointed the soccer world by not getting the mvp, because we were all missing sleep over it...parents kill me.
....oh well off to gw college soccer....

Fortunately, I have never met the gentleman. He is obviously a soccer genius and has his own opinions when it comes to the game. We live in a country that allows freedom of speech and he is welcome to spew his venom as he pleases. I spent a lifetime defending those freedoms so I am okay with it. Probably one of the flag burner types that hides behind the moniker listed. He does have a lot of posts on here so that makes him knowledgeable in whatever he is talking about.

Just a question. How do they come up which schools are north and which are south? Some are obvious, but how did they decide to put Aiken, Lexington and most of Columbia with the South? Is it the same every year?

It follows the SCHSL classification. Every two years they reshuffle. This year, Aiken & Lex are in regions in the lowerstate, thus, they play for the South.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

Surprised with all of the success that CESA has had through the years that the "South" teams seem to have the upper hand recently. Boys have won last 2 and girls are 2-1-1 in last 4. What gives? Is there a SC United influence since they are the title sponsor? Not criticizing anyone, but definitely wondering aloud!
You may disagree, but you're wrong!

Pretty funny that Sandman is such an "expert" on this board even though his kid doesn't even play club or high school soccer. Why do you have to be hating on ssoles, who wasn't being rude, wasn't bragging, etc? And, when it was brought to your attention that you misread the post (or chose not to read it), you weren't big enough to apologize. Just kept hating. Grow up.

didn't misread & isn't it funny that i am still amused about the typical bragging boorish watercooler parent.
i do apoligize for my odd sense of humor. btw, my kids in club & i served in the wartime military...what else genius?
didn't claim to be a soccer expert, just not suffering parents & their bs lightly, get too much of that on the field & in the office with many sports.
hey, lets turn this board into parental bragging bs, that would be fun
oh well, off to gw college soccer you go..

sounds like sour grapes and frustration "bs"... always fun to read.
SSoles, sorry to hear about the injury. Off to GW for some college soccer? Congratulations to Katie, I look forward to watching her play in the Fall. And congratulations to you for watching 4 years of club and HS and waiting until it was all over to enter your first post on this forum. She deserved greater recognition for her game much earlier in her career.

Since when is having a kid playing club or high school soccer a necessary qualification for expertise ... or the right to comment? Indeed, some might suggest that having a child in the mix necessarily taints one's perspective.

Regardless, I watched the North-South games. My conclusion? A nice way for a bunch of kids -- many of whom will never play a minute of college soccer -- to wrap up their high school careers. Nothing wrong with that.

Totally agree, nothing wrong with that, and I don't see anyone making a comment here that disagrees. I definately don't see the bragging sandman claims. Maybe some understandable disappointment that after being honored with selection to an all-star game one of those HS careers ended unexpectedly 20 seconds in and so, oh well, off to the next chapter.

ssoles initial post did sound a bit pompous, as if he thought his daughter was a "shoe in" for MVP, but sandman's kid must have wanted an offer from GW, but did not get it.

It's crazy that an all-star games has kids in which "many of whom will never play a minute of college soccer." Either South Carolina clubs aint getting it done producing female players or kids are just tired of soccer that much. I'm guessing the former......but folks will profess the latter.

It really appears to be both. SC Clubs are for the most part (especially on the girls side) not producing any big time college players, but also, I have seen over the past few years many very good players either stop playing Club altogether (or many that want to) and I am talking about Premier, Challenge and Classic players. The usual reason- tired of the travel and every weekend games.
A good case in point- CESA 92, had barely enough to field a U18 team this season. Lost basically the entire Challenge team (from U17-U18) and quite a few Premier players.

I disagree. High school soccer does not have a system in place that allows the top female soccer players to play in these games. From what I have observed many of these players are seniors... what if the player doesn't play for a high school that is known for soccer? or what if the player graduates early? They never get the chance to play in these games. Before reading my next statment, I am in no way trying to take away from any of the players who made the teams this year. Congrats to all of them! Well deserved and we are proud of you! Most high school coaches do the nominations. So much comes into play here: what if the coach isn't on the committee?, what if the coach doesn't attend the meeting?, what if the coach doesn't nominate any player? whose parent has done the most for the team? who is the most politically correct player? who played for the coach's club throughout their high school careers? Too many politics here to mention. I would love to go and watch a game that has all of the players from our state who have committed to play collegiately all play together without having the requirement of being a "senior" as a stipulation. There are many up and coming high school age club players from several SC clubs that could play in a game like this. Do you know how many younger girls from across our state would love to go and see this game? To see that playing college soccer is a definite possibility? It would be amazing to see the best players from our state play!!! I would say the current games celebrate and honor many high school players and this is a lovely tradition. Additionally, is there a way to honor and celebrate high school players who are moving on to play at the next level, too?

There are some future "big time" female college players that have been produced in several SC clubs. You don't know them because high school doesn't promote them!

teenage boys have that overabundance of testosterone thing to keep them coming back every season.
as girls get older, from hs freshman on up, it really takes an effort to get many back on the pitch from season to season.
so many of their friends have dropped out of sports by this age & they notice the fun they are missing out on.
so, ya, i can understand many top talents just say the heck with that by college or before.
girls are more social, boys are more competitave, nature of the beast.
i think sc clubs do a great job with the girls, maybe better than the boys.

OK. Please list those that got "snubbed" and the college they'll be playing at. And, I'd like to see the list from the last few years as well if anyone has it.
I think we'll find that the state just isn't producing players that go on and, not just practice on a roster, but have an impact at a good D-I level. Are there some? Probably. But enough from an entire state? No.

That is your list of 2010 Women's College Top 25.
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with the schools listed in this thread that the young ladies will be playing at, by my definition "Big Time" would include many of the above Top 25.
Occasionally this state will send someone to a USC or Clemson, but it is not on a consistent basis sending players to "Big Time" soccer schools? Why? High School football is sending players to "Big Time" college football schools. Basketball is doing it. Baseball is doing it. Golf is doing it. Again- Why?

Bomber ,Soccerpop,whatever it is today...you really do need to get that chip off your shoulder,its starting to blend in with your head!!So what did your good buddy at RHS do for his players to get in any "Big Time" college schools??Hummm,not much!!Yea ,I think my daughter could have played D1 soccer,but he turned her off to it with his preferential treatment.Her Cesa coach didnt play his favorites or hold her to a higher standard than other players.It was all Cesa helping to get the recognition these young ladies deserve.There are many H.S. coaches that go the extra yard to help their players!!Support,support,support....dont hate,hate,hate...its ugly!!
Relax...breathe,then bust it!!
