Quote: Don't bother posting an all tournament team if you can't get the majority of coaches to vote. To have only one player total between Wando, Farraget, and Irmo, and 4 from the host school is ridiculous. Not to mention there were 2 guys from the two bottom teams in the tournament (Wilson and Chester).
A good week of soccer with many quality teams. It was unfortunate games had to be played at Granby as that field is subpar for this kind of tournament.
The All-Tournament Team is updated as each team's coach has returned their survey and selection(s).
We recognize that Granby is not a "stadium-like atmosphere", but the club field and training ground for Bearcat Soccer does (and did) provide us with a suitable venue to not have to alter the tourney schedule. We look forward to utilizing our new athletic stadium (football in Fall and soccer in Spring) in 2015 with The Cage as our secondary field.
As for Chester and Wilson, both programs stepped up to fill a void in mid-January when Immaculate Conception Academy of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and St. James of Murrells Inlet backed out of the 2014 NIKE Palmetto Cup. We appreciate the Cyclones and Tigers for participating this spring and hope they had an enjoyable experience against a really good field of high school teams.
