Rasta, all this talk about Enzo being gone...we get it he is gone. But the reason Irmo was second to NW last year, was because of Alex. Enzo scored the third and final goal to seal the deal. Alex did work all game and absolutely dominated the midfield. So as far as I can see, if Alex dominated last year, and hes playing against the same players this year, well I'd have to say he is going to dominate this year too. Unless of course there is a new player on Shmirmo I should know about. And all this talk about academy players...whoopdeedoo. Who cares? The 06 NW Championship Squad had about 12 players who played for a sub-par DSC team. There is not a huge correlation between a players club team and the success of their highschool team. It all starts with belief and team unity, not how many academy players a team has. These two values are the core of NW soccer. These two things have been the backbone of NW since Wren has been there. Believe me, it will not be any different this year. Don't get me wrong though, it probably won't be a perfect season for NW. But come playoff time, NW will be ready. So keep running your mouth Rasta. I would expect nothing less.
