Quote: But I didn't know that many were playing for CASL.
Actually I think most of them play for CUFC and CSA teams. CSA also has team playing in the ECNL and most of their teams are placing a little higher than the CESA teams but behind the CASL teams. Not many SC players from York in regionals because club structure in this corner of the state is a bit of a mess, and it's to far for most to drive for CESA club play. Sadly the Players are here but the organization is not.
A quick look at R3PL East final standings from last Fall says CUFC(NC) wouldn't be considered dominating SC and a 2-2 split with CSA in rankings wouldn't be considered dominant either. So, I figured Observer must have been talking about CASL. As for ECNL standings the standings can be a bit deceptive at this point, since CSA teams have played more events than CESA. (Actually, some teams will play as many as 15 games by the end of league, while some will only play 9. Not sure how they plan to use points to determine standings in that league.)
I fully understand current impact of the economy on soccer (... fully) and appreciate the efforts of those from York County and Charlotte that helped their SC Club teams qualify for Regionals. As I said, there are many fine players in the York County area and not just those who play Premier League. However, unlike Observer I don't believe Charlotte area teams "dominate" SC teams regionally, nor do I believe that playing on Charlotte area teams necessarily indicates higher level individual players than those playing on SC teams. At least that's what it sounds he's saying.
