Hurst, CHT, if that's true, then that's a lot of pressure on both the clubs and the young people involved; I fall back to my original statement about being glad I'm in a spot where it's about development and positive experience, where my girls could feel proud of being state finalists rather than left out because the PK shootout in the final match went the wrong way. Wish we had more opportunities for ALL the deserving young people to get the attention they have worked for; then maybe it would be more about achievement and sportsmanship and less about mud-and-dirt slinging over that one coveted spot that gets the job done.
