Just wanted to add a few reflections from Hanna's first trip to Viking Cup under W&E. Everybody was great and its exciting to be there and play the best, watch the best, and see some of you that we converse with here on the boards. We are extremely proud of our girls' showing and their grit. W&E won't tell you, but we had three girls out for this tournament and three others playing with significant injuries. The girls did not use it as an excuse and we got maximum effort from everyone. As might be expected, we played our best ball against South Aiken last night, played pretty good this morning, and just tried to hang in there with Eastside. Eastside is a very good and disciplined team. The center mid (name escapes me, but she is #17) is amazing through the middle. They are so active that we would count the players out there every so often to make sure there were only 11. Unfortunately, in the end we did not have the legs to mount much offense, but we managed to stay strong in the back and finish with a decent score. Congratulations to Eastside and I definitely would not bet against them tomorrow!

BL finishes first trip to Cup at 2-1

Observations:
Again, congrats to Steve and SV for running the best high school tournament (of any sport) in the state of South Carolina. Location and facilities are first-class.

Nice to finally meet W&E after two years of trading barbs over this message board. Best of luck to TL Hanna and it looks like OE may be guiding the Jackets ship, temporarily, as W&E takes care of more important business.

I did a lousy job of spectating this year as I just realized that, over Friday night and all day Saturday, I never got to see any of the Final 4 teams play????? I did see FM, NW, Wren, Irmo, BE, JI, HH, RNE, TLH, ACF & Blythewood. Irmo was probably the best of that bunch.

Most exciting moment of the tournament (to date)? How about Nicole Bainbridge's goal with less than 5 seconds to play which gave Fort Mill a 1-1 draw with Irmo. Irmo advanced on PK's.

Best of luck to the four teams still alive.
