Hurst66: I'm pretty sure we're in dead agreement on this SC/NC parental choice thing. I believe that as a parent, you do the best thing for your kid, regardless of theory. In theory, I'd love SC soccer to be so strong that no kid would want to play in NC or GA. In practice, SC soccer as a whole isn't that strong and the pockets of strength are sparse.
I want SC soccer to be much stronger and I want SC teams to achieve regional and national competitiveness. But I'd never sacrifice a child of mine for that objective -- I'd tell her to do the best thing for her to achieve her goals.
