Here are a few reasons things are the way they are.
1. As someone told me yesterday "who cares if they are suspended, soccer is a communist sport anyway. They should all be playing football."
2. NW got away with it just like SV's goalie got a red card in the state semi but was allowed to play in the final.
3. This is the way it has been this way in SC for the last 50 years, and that is the way it will always remain.
4. Someone must really be lock into the "good old boys" club, and got NW off. If you went to high school with the board, your boys couldn's have done anything wrong.
And yes, let's pray that the girls sue them to play. In fact let's start a fund to help them pay.
Did I miss anything???

cid,
If it was a "good ole boy" connection that got Northwestern their free pass, couldn't that same advocate plead Gilbert's case for them?
Or, do they only permit one mulligan and a club member is only allowed to use the Get Out of Jail Free card for one of their own?
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

(trying to be sarcastic) They could look out for someone else, but why? As long as your's get protected.

hurst...maybe we should contact "the State" newspaper to let them know about the inadequacy and have them run a story
I was going to suggest the Rock Hill paper but my guess they would have sleeping dogs lie

I was being facetious in my last post to cid.
I don't have any idea how this was handled by Northwestern, the Rock Hill School District or the SCHSL. I'm not going say that anybody played a trump card or that anybody called in a favor. Let's just look at the facts:
1. Discoveries asked the school district for permission to use the field(s).
2. If the punishment was upheld, some of the best players in the STATE (not just NW, RH & SP) would not be playing this year.
The final decision was correct, nobody got the electric chair for J-walking.
As for the Gilbert girls, they may have gotten a raw deal.

Still curious as to why the DSC team isn't practicing at Manchester?? They have grass fields and lights. They could practice anytime everyday. This whole thing should have been avoided.

Hurst,
As much as I hate to say this, it does not matter if some of the 'best players' may not play this year. NW got a favor, paln and simple; Gilbert did not.
This is the kind of stuff The State loves, and would make for a good story.........

How interesting would it be if one of the dsc players was a relative of someone who works for the schsl?
