A couple of comments I would like to make regarding the fans that attended this weekend.
Great crowds on hand at Stone Stadium, though I was disappointed by the turnout for Riverside in both games.
One fan, who moved to South Carolina from Florida, mentioned to me that he really appreciated the professionalism of the staff and the respect given to prep soccer that has made this event a "showcase" for the participating teams.
Please remember that the "staff" are either SCHSL employees (ticket gate) or members of the SC High School Soccer Coaches Association, so many of those coaches do not have their teams playing this particular weekend and that can be a tough thing to balance considering many of them had teams very close to reaching these matches. They are to be commended for their volunteer status at this event and I know I'm one of many to say 'thanks'!
P.S. -- One more thing, considering that this is a high school event and not something at the collegiate or professional level, people might be a little more courteous by having the correct monetary amounts for the weekend. I know some people like to dole out C-Notes to cut down on the size of their wallets, but it is kind of hard to change out a $100 bill without making it look like that person has just visited an adult night club. Same goes for the concession stand when someone hands you a $100 bill for a $2 Gatorade. Ugh!
