Coladad,I agree with your last post. BC strategy is to "flag" the ball, which limits our forwards from "having the ball at their feet and trying to combine with a teammate", which is not our strong suit. Keep in mind, our boys don't grow up in a rich soccer community with nice fields and year round club soccer. Coach Heise really recruits and ask our parents to really commit to camps and to the recently formed Congaree Rapid Soccer Association. Most of this starts in middle school. So Coach uses a strategy that many purists criticize but he gets results. Our boys work really hard on conditioning which has given us an edge (or the ability to compete) in most games. Our two worst games this year was Northwestern (on a regulation soccer field in front of several college coaches & players) which wanted to "make a statement". I assume this because their starters (Enzo and the rest) were in the game despite being up 8-0 halfway through the 2nd half. Our other BAD game was against Wando in Mount Pleasant during the Carolina Soccer Classic (in the Sunday game). Other than that, we have hung in there pretty good against THE toughest schedule in the state. However, we have to play to the best of our abilities to able to win against Chapin.I believe our boys can do it. 2-1 in OT.
