LEFTOVER: It's gotta be true; take it from someone who spent the weekend with him at Manchester Meadows.
Bill Tooley, Fort Mill girls JV soccer coach and director of the BB&T Fort Mill Invitational at Manchester Meadows last Friday through Sunday, is the No. 1 authority on soccer — boys and girls — in the state.
OK, Boss. You need to skip over this part.
While tending to everything else he was handling, Tooley made time to bring ice-cold bottled water to said reporter. And — I warned you, Boss — came up with some good tips for a notebook.
One of the tips didn't pan out because said reporter was unable to run the coach down. Tooley said most times when Eastside coach Andy Robinson takes his girls to an out-of-town tournament, the team has a tradition.
Tooley said the coaches scout out the closest mall — the Rock Hill Galleria in the case — and make a list of inexpensive items in the stores. When the team is through for the day, each girl gets the same amount of money and attacks the mall for a scavenger hunt. The player with the most items when time is up is the winner.
So when Eastside had played its game Saturday at Manchester Meadows, the players hit the mall. Man, some folks have all the fun.
