I assume you have been @ Regionals and have seen the play. If so, to make it to the quarterfinals in that event is a major accomplishment. When you compete against clubs that come from a population center of 500,000 plus such as Dallas, TX(more like a million), SC teams do extremely well based upon population of the cities that some of our teams come from.
Having had a two sons appear @ regionals over the last 8 years, our SC teams have done an outstanding job. To call their hard work this past year in preparing for regionals, "wasted" is an unfair comment to those players.
They leave everything on the field. Sometimes as previously said, it comes down to the last few minutes of play.
I applaud all the SC boys/girls teams for their hard preparation that was done after the HS season was completed in trying to practice, get scrimmages in and compete together as a team again.
