WOW!!! If you are playing at Seven Oaks park... be prepared. Not the best shape fields around. I hope they put some sand over the sprinkler heads, some of them are deep
Great idea about the USC game though, gives traveling teams something to do on friday night...thanks coach

Only saw one out of town team (CESA boys) at Stone Stadium tonight for a very entertaining USC win 2-1 in OT.
There was a group of CUFC ?U-9's there with no supervision. Don't know how anybody around them could watch the game. Never saw one of the adults there try to keep them in their seats. If you wear your clubs' colors you've got to remember that you are representing that club.
The Congaree Rapid boys did a great job as ball boys.

When are those guys over at CUFC going to get their act together? Their teams can't compete, the coaching/training is subpar and now they have "punk" eight year olds running rampant at a soccer game. I can't believe these eight year olds would rather run around with their friends rather than "be kept in their seats" at a soccer game. I guess they did not read the "representing your club while wearing your colors" memo (you know third grade does have alot of homework). And don't even get me started on the parents who allowed this heinous behavior. Maybe CESA-Columbia has some "open" parenting sessions to go with the "open" training sessions so both the boys and their parents can improve themselves.

I wasn't there with the CESA kids. And I was there on CESA night and didn't see any of the behavior. It may have happened as you say (or you may just be taking a jab at CESA). I would think that 9 year olds can sit and watch a soccer game. If they're running up and down the bleacher seats constantly, they probably shouldn't be at the game. Why bother bringing them there? I was more put off by the fact that the few adults with them never said a word to try to get them under control.

Congratulations to the Congaree Rapid U18 girls team coached by Ann Elbery and Laura Snell on their SCYSA Classic Cup State Championship!
This is the first state championship claimed by a CRSA team since the U15 boys team won the title in 2000 and just the second since the club was formed in 1993.
The Rapid89 girls posted a 15-1-5 (.833) mark overall this season and captured the Soccer By the Sea tournament at Hilton Head in September.
Congratulations to the Congaree Rapid on this outstanding achievement! The Rapid89 qualify for the Region III President's Cup in Columbus, Georgia in June 2008!

A great job by the CRSA girls--they've gotten faster and stronger since we saw them at the beginning of the season! I hated to go home early, but if we had to get knocked out, I'm glad it was by a talented team who went on to win it all.
Also, my thanks to the players and coaches who expressed concern and well wishes to my player who was injured and taken to the hospital during our match; she is doing well and was able to go home later that night.
Congratulations, girls!

Congratulations to the Lower lexington U-15 girls. Made it to the finals (went to overtime), but lost in PK's 4-2 to CUFC challenge (our goalie 5' their goalie 6'-makes a difference). Not bad considering Lower lexington only charges $135 a player. By the way they only surrendered one shot on goal(free kick). A couple of questionable calls during the game-LL had two goals called back. But congrats to CUFC-all the girls played well. I just hate for the game to be decided in PK's. However, it must be nice to have someone like Phil Savitz on the sideline helping coach! Great Job CUFC!

there you go again (first Mt Pleasant and now state cup)...
According to you, you lost because:
your keeper is small
you do not charge enough
the referees made questionable calls
Phil Savitz is on their sideline.
The sun is in your eyes
there is a pebble in your shoe
and the wind was against you
I would have said that your team played their hearts out all weekend and made it to the final in State Cup in shootout loss to CUFC.
This would have given YOUR girls the respect they deserve for their performance.
You may want to read Coach Chass' entry as a primer.

A quick look at the results shows more parity among clubs than I'm used to seeing. The following clubs won Classic titles:
CUFC 2
CESA 2
LCSC 1
USA 1
MPSC 1
CRSA 1 *
SSC 1 *
*CRSA will play SSC for the U18 boys title.
In my opinion, the lack of domination by one or two clubs at this level is a good thing.
Congrats and thanks to SCYSA and CUFC for putting on a very well run tournament.

It is what it is. The Girls did do great! I think the fact that CUFC had one shot on goal says the way the game was controlled and we did earn respect. Furthermore, who are you associated with or do you care to say? For the record, I did have a pebble in my shoe. I think it chapped my toe when I was kicking your but. Also, why do clubs charge so much? Is it for better coaching? I believe our kids are well-coached at LL(as good or better than anywhere else).

Thanks. Your girls did play their hearts out and are to be congratulated! I, too, hate to see it decided on PKs.

While I won't disagree with you--I know the coaching staff of my club and my club only--I will pose one question.
If you really believe that your kids are as well, if not better coached, that those from other clubs...why make the comment that "it must be nice to have someone like Phil Savitz on the sidelines...?"
My congratulations go out to all teams that played hard this weekend and, despite the scores, walked off of the field with their heads held high.

BHS Keeper...
Shouldn't you be in Spanish class right about now, kiddo? :-)
Good points, though; everyone who came out this weekend and played their hearts out deserves to walk away proudly, regardless of how the scoreboard comes out. I'm really proud of my team's effort throughout this season and the performance and spirit they showed this weekend, and I'm equally happy that while they were disappointed not to go to the finals, they were still able to be proud of their efforts even though we gave up a very close (1-0) match to a top-notch team early in the competition.
I also wanted to give a shout out to the Discoveries U18 Classic girls--they were a real example of what happens when a team shows up to play and puts a lot of heart into the game. Well done, ladies...you represented yourselves and your club well!
I've got good news and bad news...

I believe if there was a measuring stick, Phil is it!
If I wanted to be a coach, it would be Phil. Many years of experience and many years at the top! Why not mention that?

Defense7,
While I appreciate your team pride and your defense of your teammates, we need to keep our comments respectful especially when directed toward the officials. Your point was that the referee was "letting them play" in a manner consistent toward both teams and that the game was won "fair and square". This is a reasonable position but should be expressed without degrading comments.
You and your teammates had a great season and excellent State Cup weekend! You deserve to be proud of our accomplishments. Let's be sure to express that pride in a sporting manner with respect for our opponents and the officials.
-Coach Paul

That is the infamous David Schroer (not sweaty, but did receive a Gatorade bath after the final from the guys), the architect behind the Rapid RED89s success this fall!
Kudos to Richland Northeast's Thomas Taffel who registered 9 goals during the State Cup tournament Nov. 10-11 and added a brace yesterday in the Final against Summerville.
Eduardo Adam, a Brookland-Cayce exchange student from Brazil, added two assists in the final as well. The team MVP for the season per Coach Schroer would be USC freshman and B-C graduate Andrew Richardson, who had a stellar fall campaign.
Congratulations to all the Rapid RED89s for concluding their youth soccer careers in style.
