So everyone knows.. I was introduced tonight as "Jack 'L-E Dude' Rozier"..
Anyway.. 2-1 Alumni at the half. I thought we'd pound them early than fade away (lack of physical fitness) ..when it was really more like we(Alumni) spent the first half figuring out how to play together..then pounded them
Alumni1st - Raul Silva
2nd - Matt Watts
Varsity1st - Ricky Taylor
Second half Alumni figured eachother out. Will Roberts scored with the nicest shot of the night.. off the far post..solid shot.. that opened up the flood gates
Alumni3rd - Will Roberts

5th - Matt Harris
6th - Chauncie Trift
7th - Raul Silva
Varsity2nd - Ian Barker
3rd - Ricky Taylor

Overall..VERY impressed with how smoothly the whole thing ran. MAJOR props to Coach Brown.. I know most of you don't care (hell..i'm basically writing this for myself) but this was really a success..thoroughly enjoyed myself..quality soccer from both the old guys and the kids..
..one step at a time.
Here are some pictures for those of you that prefer visual gratification as opposed to the vernacular..
Crowd doubled shortly after this pic.. which isn't bad for the 1st time and with school mostly over.
Saw a lot of friends/non-soccer players/non-parents ..which is good.
"Warming-up" during Half-time..
How about those retro Tuff Stuff jerseys?! I think those beat Wilson balls anyday..
Yeah..that's about it.. ..oh.. apparently SA beat Irmo tonight.. ::yawn:: ..I kid..
