Kind of hard to remember back a bunch of pages....but this twist originated with Cid commenting, and I'm paraphrasing, that VC would be interesting this year now that Clover has finally stepped up.

I didn't outright say this....but I guess this most recent bend to the debate speaks to my point better than I did. Prior to pretty much 2 years ago Clover wasn't on anyone's radar screen for girls soccer. Two years ago, with a deep and reasonably talented group of freshman they came out of nowhere and stepped up and provided legitimate challenge to Northwestern and Fort Mill in our region. Last year...they took grief in some quarters for not playing Viking Cup.

This year they are.

It doesn't mean they've gotten brave. It doesn't mean they were scared or cowards last year. Building a program is like building a house. You have to first build a great foundation.....and then you can step in an build that gourmet kitchen or awesome game room.

This is the second year this school has had "expectations".

I thnk they are right on schedule.
