HEY GUYS!!! I smell progress, and that this discussion is going in the right direction! Mr P. is offering genuine discussion and proposals that never have been considered from NECSA. Sounds like there are similar discussion proposals from CRSA. Lets act on that and not continue to criticize Tripp or his coaching philosophy. Give him his due, he is a great coach and motivator and could possibly help produce some more state and possibly regional championships after the merger. With Kevin, Dennis and Tripp as the lead coaching staff, many things are possible. And I am sure they are ready, after so many dedicated years with their organizations, to share in a combined effort. There would be less hassle and the work would be spread around, guys!! Give it some thought! We must all now put aside our respective individual issues and personalities and think only of the possibilities and results of a merger. Lets all quit talking in the past and move forward with the necessary contacts to sit down and talk real issues. It is only for the good of Cola area soccer that this is even being discussed. You can be a part of a strong soccer program, and not just have a few strong teams here and there. And you can be pretty certain that the players will stay with such an organization and not want to leave for Greenville or where ever.'If you build it (the merger), they will come.....' It can not be, and should not be about personalities and who wants what from a merger. Do you really want it to happen??? What are some thoughts from CSC or LSC folks??? Are they even interested??? If not, then maybe we should consider a CRSA/NECSA merger???
