Let me update everyone on a very successful meeting yesterday. Sixteen boys and girls players were identified , along with alternates. We feel we have chosen the best SC has to offer, players that give us the best opportunity to win and players with good character who will represent us well. Kudos to the Heise’s for coordinating the selection process. Any questions about the process should be referred to me privately. We know we can’t make everyone happy. But, we are confident that our efforts were honest and fair.
We are considering a few weekend training sessions probably held in the midlands. Our big announcement will be made either before or at half time of The Battery match on Friday, April 20. At that time rosters and coaches' bio's will be released.
There are some areas that we are getting in high gear on. One is ticket sales, which is being headed-up by Ed Carson of Summerville HS. We will get some income from ticket sales, but only those tickets that are sold in advance by us. League passes will not be accepted at the games. So, all coaches are encouraged to purchase tickets early. A form will be posted on this web site soon. Coaches, also encourage your teams and other fans to purchase tickets through us. Remember, the tickets are for the 3:00 girls, 5:00 boys and 7:30 Battery matches. THAT IS A DEAL at $8!
Troy Bennage, of Academic Magnet has made arrangements for the banquet at the Three Lions Pub. It will be great. His school has graciously offered to buy the MVP awards.
Kevin and Kyle will also head-up efforts to put together a game program. We need to sell, sell, sell ads for that.
Scott Ruggles, of Stratford is coordinating the photo session. Scott and Dick Smith, of Hanna, are also our liaisons to the SCACA.
