Its PRE-season in HS guys! Like other high-level club players, Cates has played at such a high level in club ball, its not easy to get the competitve juices going this early and in a HS scrimmage. Cates will produce when real play begins. But, he must keep his head on straight and just use the skills/abilities he possesses to excel.

I apologize if it came across the wrong way - I didn't really know a better way to ask. Honestly, I figured I was missing something, and knew that someone, if not some people, would point out what it was.

I have seen his name mentioned so many times on the board, I just expected him to blow me away, that's all.

The club vs high school makes sense. If defense is actually his forte, though, it would have been nice to maybe see him playing center back last night, and how different the game might have been with him there against Ferro (and I only mention Ferro specifically because of his speed - didn't mean to omit the other talented Summerville attackers - again, please accept my apologies).

Wade Hampton-G 5 - Palmetto 3
At Wade Hampton, cold - and no officials.

Good game played by both teams. A much better all around game by Palmetto than they played against WH in the tournament. It seemed that WH was better skilled and jumped out early (3-1), but Palmetto was better conditioned and played them "heads up" in the second half (2-2). Both teams subbed a great deal, and let a lot of players play. Good pre-season scrimmage to learn some things about your team and improve.

I have seen Cates play at ODP region camp during the evening pool games. He is a solid player.

I've heard Ed Carson wears good luck charms.

I think its either the good luck charms he wears or his daughters superwoman underwear!

My bad, he eats lucky charms. Me too. I love me lucky charms! How 'bout you Crabb?

Boiling Springs - 0
Greenville - 0

2/28 - scrimmage - pretty even as score suggests.

OK. Take it easy. If I wear any lucky charms it's definitely on the exterior. If I wear anything of my daughter's it's Disney Princess, not Superwoman.
