SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer Three words of advice for Fort Mill

lpaf,

I was totally unfamiliar with what you discuss above....until a 45-minute halftime lightning delay left me in the booth along with three sportswriters during the semi-final. The Greenville writer covered the whole story back then, actually not the whole story, he wasn't at the game, he got involved when it went to the "courts".

He said WA did a nice job at the end of getting the legal eagles involved (I hope that was pro bono) and proved that the JV uniforms differed from the varsity uniforms, in that they had different stripes on the end of their sleeves.

It was obvious that you won the match on the field.

My question to the reporter was (and he couldn't answer this) "If these girls were simply on the end of the bench and had no shot of playing, who would notice and who would care"? I doubt anyone from Mauldin would have noticed this. Then.....who dimed you out? Was it somebody who recognized these players from club? Was it somebody from one of your rival Region 7 schools?

Not trying to open old wounds here, just looking for the "rest of the story".

3) I don't understand this last word of advice. It was given to me in a dream by what looked for all the world like a cross between an angel and a ghost. I was instructed that it should be the last word of advice. It's a single word. I was told the word, then told how to spell the word, then told how to write the word phonetically. Here goes:

ghetto (pronounced gedo, short e long o.)

ps: I asked if it was supposed to be "geko" but was told no.

lpaf,

Let me decipher your dream. Ghetto is actually "Get O". It means either "Get some O (as in offense)" or "Get Ostrander", the name of the Fort Mill goalkeeper.

Either way this is an obvious reach on your part to get more offense out of the Lady Wildcats. I don't know if the coach is on-line reading this right now, but maybe some covert coaching from the stands will help.

I wish you luck (not too much) and please make sure the wheels on the Tour Bus are safe and secure because I have a feeling that by the 70th minute of play, in this evening's much anticipated state final, they might start coming off!!!!

GO LADY JACKETS!!!!!!!

I can't believe that I am actually posting something on the girls forum and that I am coming to the defense on my grammatically challenged friend in Monsieur Folly. I have seen for the past two years everyone bashing WA as they prepare for the title game,giving them little chance. Obviously, this team is experinced and while they may lose the match, I doubt that many wheels will be falling off of a team that has been in this position before- both in club and high school.

For what it is worth, old Dex and the stripe are rooting for the "underdog Wildcats."

I believe "Ghetto" is in reference to the style of soccer played at West Ashley. See 2003

Oh no.........Chico!

In all of my excitement I have managed to throw away every karma point that I have earned to this point! The tide is turning, the consensus is now with the underdog (how in God's name can you consider that group and underdog???) Lady Wildcats!

What have I done!

Dex --

Your gesture of galantry is appreciated. Like a southern Don Quixote the West Ashley Lady Wildcats are preparing to dream the impossible dream, fight the unbeatable foe... Off to Columbia!!! The Doin' It the Hard WAy Tour '05 is rolling to its final destination.

GO WILDCATS!!! DO IT THE HARD WAY ONE MORE TIME!!!

lpaf..

I, along with others I am sure, have been waiting for your advise to FM. With all due respect, we still are. With regards to your item 1) I think our "dawg pound" group will cover it. 2)Doubt if FM cares who is on the bench or field; they'll focus on taking care of business. 3)Thank you! I'm sure everyone will crank it up a notch upon hearing the inference relating FM & ghetto! Our girls are much too self controlled to get mad, but ...

Ghetto was for West Ashley dad, not Fort Mill. In 2003 three this term was created for the Lady Wildcats style of play.

My greatest fear. If "beautiful soccer" gets reduced to this, we are in for a long night.

Probably will....nobody is looking for style points....just a result.
