I traveled two hours to see Northwestern play Mauldin last night due to the respect I have learned for the team, the players, and the coach. What an impressive TEAM! They play soccer the way it should be played, aggressive, clean, all in, hungry. Enzo was everything I have heard and more, helping an injured Mauldin player off the field early on and then scoring 4 goals humbly. His brother was everywhere, and dominated the game. Every player did their job, and it was pretty obvious they aren't allowed to let down or play easy by their coach. There must have been 300 students, all well behaved, all positive along with the other 200 or so adults and Mauldin fans. What a show, Trojans!

Thanks for what you have built at NW. Best $5 I ever spent.

Well said ROH. Great summation and says it all! Just hope FM can match that 'hungy' attitude on Tues.

Funny to hear you say that about the younger brother Alex. He gets overlooked over and over again and doesn't get near as much credit as he should. Such a fantastic player.

Alex is one of the most technically sound players I have ever seen. He controls the field and dictates the pace of the game.

As the kids would say, Alex is sick (in a good way). That young man might hustle more than any athlete in high school that I have ever seen.

He played a ball through the defense against Mauldin and lost it at the end line. Then, he turned and ran back across midfield and received the goal kick on his foot from the goalie. Unbelievable.

Build a statue.
