Hi LPAF: As another ancient philosopher,Confucius, once said: "Is it not also great when friends visit from distant places?"
James Island is looking forward to hosting the classy West Ashley ladies on Friday evening. We hope to have a good match. So many of these girls are friends off the field and teammates on their state championship team, the Fusion, that it is always a pleasure to have the Wildcats in the house. Good luck to all! Sincerely, Fanofgrits

Good to hear from you again. I'll be there tomorrow yelling for my favored Wild Island Trojan Cats. Go Trojan Cats!!! The really good thing about Region 7 is the quality games between JI/WA/Wando leading up to the lower state playoffs. That kind of top knotch competition gets everybody to their best game. Sorry about the loss on Monday to the dark side of the Force, but they will have to come to our side of the river later this month. Take care.

Dreher was supposed to play Byrnes on Friday, but the game got moved to Thursday. The outcome was that Dreher won 2 to 1.

Anyone have any insight to the BC vs Byrnes match?

I think we established that now that WA is 2 time state champion that they are the "Dark Force".
Good luck to JI. Did notice WA's coach in stands at JI-Wando game Tuesday night scouting out the Trojans. Skipped his own team's game so he must be worried.

Wow, I did not see Drew at the game. He must be a little worried. Very interesting! Kind of like a compliment for JI. Going to be a tough but good game for both sides. JI just fell short on Tuesday night but were noticably not on their game as a team. Hoping JI can pull through tonight. Either way, great soccer!

Coach was on top row to right of press box (if you were facing the field).
I guess I can't comment on JI's "not on their game" since I made excuses for Wando against WA.
"River is always changing", isn't that right -lpaf?

ps - I have seen that license plate around town -is it yours?

No vanity plates for me. Just a bumper sticker that says "When all of my kids get out of college I'm going to drive a nice car too."

To be honest, I have seen Wando play much better as well. Overall it was a good game but I saw lots of mistakes by both teams that could have won/lost the game for them both. I think nerves come into play with these games. Can't help but get caught up in it. For the love of soccer............. :-)

I'm with lpaf - I like that bumper sticker!

Final score of WA/JI game: JI 2 WA 0
WA did not show up to play tonite at all...at least for the first half. This game is their first loss of regular season and i am sure it will be their last! In the 2nd half WA stepped up their play and Bolt executed an almost text book bicycle kick that i believe was inside the 18 and missed the goal by a small amount. it seemed as tho throughout the game JI players continued to hit the ground (with i believe 2 serious injuries to the dangerous Frankie Baker (??) and Elyse Clark and a few minor injuries as well). Possibly a way to waste time during their 2-0 lead throughout the first half? WA's defense held very well in the 2nd half. Both of JIs goals were scored in the first...one by Frankie and the other by ??? (i dont kno). any one else have nething to say abt the game?
