Joe Wichmann plays for MPSC 94 Premier. There are 6 keepers at the holdover - lots of competition.
Good pool game tonight for the 95 hold overs. 48 or so players and everyone got a chance to show thier stuff - with the exception of Andrew Davis, who suffered a hip pointer earlier in the camp and is forced to sit on the sidelines - for now. Christian Calloway played both halves. Andrew Eskinazi had an assist and another excellent opportunity (1 v 1 with keeper), but was taken down in the box. No fould called. 13 players from Florida alone. SC has 6. Not bad for such a small state.
Boys found themselves getting flu shots earlier today as 95 coach Derek Marinatos is quarenteened for a bad case of (hopefully plain old) flu. I think the players were given Tamaflu and later a shot. A Tennesee coach also came down with symptoms and is supposedly been quarenteened. Never a dull moment...
Considering the lay of the land between USYS and USSF I can see where it might be easy to say that, but the truth of the matter is it's all about development and exposure to coaches at the next level in either program.
Plenty of D1 Head and Assistant coaches are involved with ODP and are in AL to not only watch games during the day but to also see the pool games. Whether making a pool game is referred to as an accomplishment or an opportunity doesn't really matter.
Not much point in running it down because it is another opportunity for abilities to be evaluated personally and objectively.

Spot on Man. The level of play is difficult to equal. It is both an opportunity and (very much) an accomplishment. Too bad everyone can't have as positive an attitude.
