NW controled this one from the get go. The Trojans are very deciplined. The thing that impressed me most was how calm their defense plays with the ball. It's very rare for them to just clear a ball. They control, they possess, then they pass to an open man. I think there was one ball cleared from the back line and that was late in the game with subs aplenty.

Good luck Trojans. Bring home the prize.

The last goal for Northwestern in my opinion was the best, when you chip a keeper from the 18 thats about 6'6? you know things are going your way, great goals in all.

no doubt that was a great goal...i just liked Clark's

He popped the ball up in the air to himself. Then sort of slide-volleyed? it into the far corner.

Clark's was brilliant also, in my opinion all of the goals scored by Northwestern were quality none of them were luck.

My two cents worth - While I agree none of them were luck - two of the three could have been prevented by Fort Mill. The second goal he made it look like a walk in the park - dribbling around the Fort Mill defense - one of those goals where everyone on defense looked like they were waiting on somebody else to shut him down - they certainly didn't help the keeper. The last goal - if you are a big keeper like Fort Mill's you've got to get to that ball and at least tip it over. It didn't look to have overpowering pace. It looked more like the keeper just somewhat misplayed it. The first goal - pretty much unstopable - just a great offensive effort.

Another class act by Enzo! After the final whistle he made sure to stay on the field and shake the hands of his many FMHS friends and club teammates (notable becasue so many others did not). His show of repect for his opponents did not go unnoticed by the FMHS boys.

Congratulations to the FMHS Varsity boys as even though we did not come out the winner that nite versus a great team in NW, we look back at the season with pride. Being currently ranked 56th in HS population and playing other AAAA schools with much higher population, it was an achievement in itself to not only make the boys upper state semis but also the girls made it as well.
FMHS Varsity also sufferred like many other teams with key injuries to key starters. Torn ACL, torn meniscus, shatter collarbone, and torn hip flexors.

We were successful against teams such as Wando, Christian Brothers in TN who were ranked as the the #11 team in the nation, beating Blythewood, Wren and Dorman.

So, we hold our heads up with pride and look forward to the years of soccer ahead.

As a side note Chief - Know that Enzo was not the only player congratulating his opponents and was not the only class act that nite on the field. Many on the FM side did as well in the spirit of sportmanship and friendship.

Plese do not mistake what I said, I was commenting on how Enzo's class after the game stood out because so many of his team mates (and a coach or two as well I think) choose not to show the same level of class. Celebrate with your fans after you acknowledge your opponent with respect. This was not the final game of the year for them so they should have been respectful of FMHS first then thank thier fans for the support. FMHS should have nothing but pride for thier season and team!
