Some Food for Thought as We Near Thanksgiving

Breakfast at McDonald's

This is a good story and is true.

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'.

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.'

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

The sophomore is the third straight Wildcat to garner Player of the Month honors after Kara Koehrn ’05 and sophomore Suzanne Sittko (Greenwood Village, Colo.) each won the award in 2005 and 2006 for the month of October.

“Lauren has had a tremendous month for us, providing composure in critical, game-winning moments,” said head coach Greg Ashton. “She is playing with a confidence that comes from tremendous individual work all summer and through preseason, not to mention the belief and trust of her teammates and coaches. I'm thrilled that she has been recognized for her efforts throughout September, she definitely deserves it.”

Conner, who started all nine games for the month, had a splendid month of September by leading the Wildcats to a 6-3-0 mark, including wins in the final five games. The 'Cats also concluded the month with a perfect 2-0-0 league record that gave them a share of the SoCon lead in the standings.

The sophomore's month started off with a bang as her first collegiate goal was a thrilling game-winner in the 95th minute of overtime to carry the Wildcats to a 1-0 win over High Point. It was the first of four game-winners for the month.

Conner then went on a five-game tear to finish out September, picking up at least one point in all five contests on four goals and an assist. Her second game-winner came when she scored the go-ahead goal in a 3-1 win over Mercer at home on Sept. 16 that started her five-game scoring outburst.

The following weekend saw the sophomore forward guide Davidson to a sweep of Southeastern Conference schools, Vanderbilt and LSU, with a goal and assist as the Wildcats took home the tournament title at the College of Charleston tournament, Sept. 21 & 23. The two wins over Vandy and LSU were the program's first-ever, while Davidson earned its third and fourth all-time wins against SEC schools

Conner then concluded the month with back-to-back game-winning goals. On Sept. 27 in the 107th minute of double-overtime, Conner tallied the winning score on a cross from junior Tiffany Mumby (Houston, Texas) in the six-yard box for a thrilling 2-1 win over Appalachian State. She then scored the initial goal of a 5-0 win at The Citadel on Sept. 30 as Davidson won its seventh straight all-time against the Bulldogs.

Davidson (7-3-0), currently riding a six-game win streak, finishes up its non-conference slate of games when it hosts Francis Marion on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 2 p.m.

SYL ODP National Camp Selections
Players to compete in elite identification camp for U.S. National Team Programs and Colleges

TAMPA – United Soccer Leagues announced today the final selections for the Super Y-League’s ODP National Camps to be held at the Cocoa Expo Center in Cocoa, Florida in January and February of 2008. Selections from the 2007 season were made from the identification system by the Super Y-League National ODP Scouting Staff. The selection process was then finalized by the ODP Staff Coaches, and assembled by the USL office.

“The SYL ODP National Camps have been a significant resource to U.S. National Team Staff Coaches,” said USL ODP Coordinator, Sean Trask. They provide opportunities for elite players to be identified by some of the top college and university programs in the country.”

Several changes were made to improve the Super Y-League ODP selection process in 2006, ensuring elite players are well represented at the national camp. Allotted roster spots now vary from division to division in order to proportionally match the number of players. This change affords the larger divisions, with larger pools of players, a greater number of selections. Smaller divisions were downsized to strengthen the quality of their representatives. These same concepts were utilized again during the Super Y-League ODP selection process in 2007.

U.S. National Team Staff will be in attendance at this year’s Super Y-League ODP National Camps beginning in January and February of 2008 in Cocoa, Florida, for further identification of players.

The age range pairing system will be the same as last year to continue accommodating U.S. National Team Staff. The ODP National Camps will be broken down into four age groups based on birth year.

“The Super Y-League prides itself on having the most progressive ODP system,” said Trask. “If it is easier for the national team staff to identify players when they are paired in a certain way, then we are obviously going to make that change. In addition to the U.S. National Team identification, players also receive the opportunities from the collegiate system.”

The dates and locations of the camps are currently being finalized and will be announced soon. Notification to the individual players will take place over the course of the next few days via letters and automated phone messages.

Please join us in congratulating Travis Foster on being selected for the Super Y League ODP National Camp, and John Kurija and Alex Shinsky as alternates. The SYL ODP Camps provide opportunities for elite players to be identified by some of the top college and university programs in the country.  This is a great honor for the boys, and a wonderful opportunity.

Super Nova Alum Lauren Conner Leads Offensively for Davidson

Lauren is having a great sophomore season at Davidson so far.  She is starting at right outside mid or center mid, depending upon opposition's defense.  She is second on the team in scoring, has been recognized twice by the Southern Conference for her play and has two game-winning goals.  This past weekend, she had a goal and an assist in Davidson's 2-1 defeat of Vanderbilt (a perennial NCAA D-1 tournament qualifier) and Davidson's 3-0 shutout of previously unbeaten LSU.  LSU was coming off a 2-2 tie of 4th ranked Texas!  That really opened some eyes about the quality of Davidson women's soccer. Here is a link to the LSU game notes and box score.

Super Nova Alum Bobby Warshaw Scores First Collegiate Goal!

STANFORD, Calif. - Behind two goals within the first 14 minutes of the game, the Stanford men's soccer team cruised to its first victory of the 2007 season, blanking the Penn Quakers, 2-0, Sunday afternoon at Laird Q. Cagan Stadium.

Freshman Bobby Warshaw (Mechanicsburg, PA) scored his first collegiate goal Sunday while Scott Bolkan (Salem, OR) added his second of the year to cap the Cardinal scoring. Senior goalkeeper Andrew Kartunen (San Juan Capistrano, CA) made five saves in the contest to preserve his first shutout of the season.

The Cardinal will once again split its games on the road and at home next weekend, heading south to take on local rival No. 3 Santa Clara on Friday at 7 p.m. before returning home to host the San Francisco Dons Sunday night at 7 p.m.

Stanford got Sunday's contest off to a roaring start, as an early rush in the fourth minute saw senior forward Dan Shapiro (New Haven, CT) almost get one by Quakers keeper Drew Healy. But just a minute and a half later, the Cardinal broke through, as Penn's clearance attempt of a Stanford corner kick went right to Warshaw, who deposited a blast from the top of the box past Healy and into the top corner of the net for the match's opening score.

The Cardinal continued to apply pressure, and eight minutes later the effort paid off. Healy's save on a shot from Brant Bishop (Parkville, MO) went out past the goal line, giving Stanford a corner kick, which Michael Strickland (Davis, CA) placed perfectly into the box for Bolkan to cleanly head off the bottom of the crossbar and past the line for the 2-0 lead.

At this point, the Stanford defense took over, putting on a clinic as the back line allowed the Quakers only one shot over the first 45 minutes.

Stanford had more chances to pad its lead in the second half, but bad luck and some good net play from Healy prevented them from finding the back of the net. Strickland got a shot off in the 51st minute that beat Healy but richocheted off of the far post, and shots by Warshaw, Bishop, and a header from Tom Montgomery (Bakersfield, CA) were all thwarted by point-blank saves from Healy.

Despite Penn having the edge in second-half shots by a 9-7 margin, Kartunen and the Cardinal defense refused to yield, denying the Quakers any major chances and preserving the team's first shutout of 2007.

Super Nova's Chase Miller Attending US Club Soccer's National Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida

CHICAGO — U.S. Soccer’s Under-17 Residency Program’s fall semester kicked off this week as more than 40 players resumed training at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla. The Residency pool is made of players born in 1990, 1991, 1992 and one player born in 1993.

Of the players in Residency, 26 are beginning their first semester of training under U.S. Under-17 Men’s National Team head coach John Hackworth, with 25 of those born in 1992. Those players born in 1992 or later will be working toward the next FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which will be held in 2009 in Nigeria. Of the 14 players born in 1991, four were a part of the most recent edition of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in South Korea.

A total of 22 players will be returning to the Residency Program for at least their second semester, including 10 players born in 1990 that will finish up their high school education this semester while training with the team.

“We looked long and hard, and we feel that we have brought in a new group of players who will complement those who are starting their second year,” said Hackworth. “These are players we can help develop and who hopefully have success in both this age group, and far beyond this program.”

The 48 players live on campus at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., and train daily under the guidance of Hackworth and assistant coaches Keith Fulk, Raul Diaz Arce, Tim Mulqueen and Brian Maisonneuve. The players train at IMG in the morning and attend classes at Edison Academy in the afternoon.

Started in 1999, the U.S. Soccer Residency Program has become a symbol of U.S. Soccer’s dedication to producing development opportunities for players and the success of the Youth National Teams. With the successes of the U.S. Under-17 MNT during the first few years, the number of players invited into the full-time Residency Program was doubled from 20 to 40, adding 10 additional players in both fall semesters of 2002 and 2003. U.S. Soccer has been able to increase the number of players enrolled in the program to provide greater opportunities for young players and increase its investment in player development. With 40 players in Residency, the program is able to field two full teams that train together during the week, and get the chance to compete against club, college and international teams on the weekends.

"The residency program has given our players an excellent opportunity to grow and move up the ladder in the world of soccer and become professionals in Major League Soccer, some of the biggest clubs in Europe and even make an impact on the full U.S. Men's National Team,” said Hackworth. “We will look to continue this progress here in Bradenton by providing the players with an environment where they can prosper as individual players and gel as a team, crucial elements that have allowed for a positive move forward for all of our men's national team programs."

Since its inception, about 200 players have been through the full-time Residency Program, and more than 70 of those players have moved on to Major League Soccer, or the professional leagues in Europe. Thirteen players have also registered at least one cap with the full MNT: Freddy Adu, DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Michael Bradley, Bobby Convey, Landon Donovan, Eddie Gaven, Eddie Johnson, Chad Marshall, Oguchi Onyewu, Heath Pearce, Santino Quaranta and Jonathan Spector. Beasley and Donovan both started in the 2002 FIFA World Cup as 20-year-olds, and were joined by Convey, Onyewu and Johnson in 2006.

In its first year of existence, the U.S. Soccer Residency Program enrolled 20 of the elite players in the country to train together in Bradenton and produced instant success as the Under-17s qualified for the FIFA Under-17 World Championship in New Zealand in November of 1999. On the world stage, the American teenagers rose to the occasion, winning their group and advancing to the semifinals before being ousted in a penalty shootout. The fourth-place finish tied for the best showing by a U.S. Men’s Youth National Team in a major international competition. Also, U.S. stars Donovan and Beasley were awarded the Gold and Silver Balls, respectively, as the top two players in the entire tournament.

After struggling in the “Group of Death” two years later, the U.S. rebounded with back-to-back fifth place finishes in the following two FIFA U-17 World Championships in 2003 and 2005. In the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, the U.S. went undefeated in group play to win their group for just the third time in 11 appearances, and the first time since 1999. With expansion of the tournament to 24 teams in 2007, the U.S. advanced to the Round of 16 before being ousted by Germany.

Lauren scored the winning goal in OT for Davidson

DAVIDSON, N.C. –– Sophomore Lauren Conner (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) gathered in a loose ball in the box in the 95th minute of overtime and kicked it into an open net to carry the Wildcat women's soccer team to a 1-0 overtime victory against visiting High Point on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Stadium. Davidson earned its first win of the season to move to 1-1 overall, while the Panthers dropped to 0-2.

After playing 90 minutes of scoreless soccer, Davidson came out in overtime with an aggressive approach that paid off in the 95th minute.

Freshman Amanda Flink (Richardson, Texas) assisted in setting up Conner's game-winner when she sent a low pass to the 18-yard box where the Panther defense and goalie Marisa Abbott misplayed the loose ball. Abbott made a diving stab at it, only to lose it, which allowed Conner to gather in the ball and she found herself all alone in front of an empty net where she punched it through for her first-career collegiate goal.

Both goalies on each side were exceptional between the posts in the first two periods, coming up with some key saves throughout the game.

Wildcat senior goalie Bevin English (Charleston, S.C.) made a key save in the first two minutes of the second half when the Panther's Jen Evans got a pass in the goalie box, squared around and fired a shot that was first deflected and then saved by English. The senior closed out the game with six saves, five of them in the second half, out of High Point's 11 total shots taken.

Abbott was equally as effective, stopping three great looks by the Wildcats. Sophomore Kyri Bye-Nagel (Hanau, Germany) peppered the goal twice, only to find Abbott there to save each shot for High Point. In the first half, Bye-Nagel broke free from the defense, racing down the left side and fired a shot directly at goal, but Abbott caught to come up with the save.

Then in the 54th minute of the second half, Bye-Nagel worked the ball down the right side of the field and got in the box, where she kicked one to the near side, but Abbott again shifted over in time to deflect the shot and keep the score set at zeroes.

Davidson closed out the contest with 10 shots, six of them on goal, and had six corner kicks to High Point's five.

The Wildcats head out to the state of Colorado for the first time in program history for their next two games. They will first play at Air Force on Sept. 7 at 6:30 (EST) and finish up their trip out west at Colorado College on the 9th at 1 p.m. (EST). Two years ago, Davidson and Colorado College played to a 2-2 tie at Alumni Stadium

Scoring Summary
95:17 DAV Lauren Conner (1) (Amanda Flink)

NOTES: Bye-Nagel leads the team with five shots, four of them on goal through the first two games ... Davidson improved to 7-1 all-time against High Point ... the Wildcats are 3-1 in home openers under head coach Greg Ashton ... three yellow cards were administered in the game.

Super-20 Finals to Begin Thursday
Spotlight on the Mid Atlantic at the North American Finals

TAMPA – The second installment of United Soccer Leagues Super-20 North American Finals is set to kick off this Thursday, August 2 from Seacoast United’s soccer complex in Epping, New Hampshire. The 24 team league finals is expected to draw a few thousand participants, spectators, scouts and coaches to the pristine, forest encircled pitches to crown a U20 national champion for both the women’s and men’s Super-20 League.

“The fields were resurfaced today and they will be freshly painted tomorrow,” said Seacoast United President Paul Willis. “Looking over the field for the women’s finals, I am delighted to see the expanded side of the women’s bracket. USL has put together a very strong field of competition, a great improvement over last season already. This should be a very tough event to win on both the men’s and women’s side.”

Each team with equally distributed talent, the toughest region in the Super-20 League is arguably the Mid Atlantic Division, who represented three of the four finalists from a year ago: Red Bull New York, Parsippany SC and the Washington Freedom.

This season the mighty Mid Atlantic men’s division increased its own qualification standards by adding the likes of PDA (8-0-0), Beachside (6-2-1), FC Delco (4-3-2) and QuickStrike FC (3-3-3). The women followed suit on a lesser scale adding QuickStrike (7-2-1). The strength of the region lies in the population of the area but with its melting pot qualities, no one state has distanced itself from another: Pennsylvania (3), New Jersey (2), New York (1), and Maryland/DC (1). On the women’s side: New Jersey (2), Maryland/DC (2) and New York (1).

One of the newcomers to the tournament from the region is Pennsylvania’s SuperNova FC. They open tournament play Thursday against Midwest Champion, the Kalamazoo Kingdom. The match is set to kick off at noon.

“The real strength of this team is its versatility,” said Nikolic. “Numerous guys are able to play multiple positions. This being a short season, various commitments that these guys have over the summer play a role in our team strengths. The ability to move around all the pieces of this puzzle and still put a strong squad on the field is a blessing.”

But when the 2007 Super-20 League season opened for SuperNova, a trip to the second annual North American Finals appeared to be a lofty goal. A roster comprised of rising college sophomores, incoming college freshmen and rising high school seniors, SuperNova U20’s were truly a blend of talent over three age groups.

SuperNova FC is operated under the leadership of Niki Nikolic, who founded the club in 1994. Since the club’s inception, Niki has coached hundreds of boys and girls, with over 100 of them getting scholarships to play collegiate soccer. He is supported by a staff of coaches including former professional and collegiate players that have his same passion for teaching the game. As a club, SuperNova has supported the USL’s Super Y-League since inception. They have also enjoyed the high level of competition it affords.

The Super-20 men’s season started out with a loss and a tie in the tough Mid-Atlantic Group B. Many of the SuperNova’s mainstay players were missing from action due to high school graduation ceremonies and related events. After that, the squad rattled off wins in six of their last seven matches, including a tough home victory against a scrappy FC Delco team. Three of those six victories were shutouts.

The team is anchored in the midfield by the leadership of JT Noone and Colin Zizzi. The goal is patrolled by Will Byrne as well as Shayne Currin-Hayes. Defensively, SuperNova deploys a combination of experienced leadership in Max Villwock and Vince Salvitico, with the energy of Ed Stene, Austin Luskin and Jeremy Taylor, as well as the youthful craftiness of U17’s Max Shinsky and Cameron Wyllie. Supplementing Noone and Zizzi in the midfield are the skillful Tyler Solis, Eric Detzel and Jordan Berg, as well as support from some of the aforementioned defensive members of the squad. At forward, SuperNova mostly looks to the combination of Andrew Welker and Matt Sheibley to apply the pressure to opposing defenses.

Of the 16 players planning to make the trip to New Hampshire for the North American Finals, 14 will be eligible to play in next year’s Super-20 League season.

“Looks like we may be seeing a lot more of this squad in the future,” added Nikolic.

Super Nova's Lauren Alwine... U-17 Women's National Team Continue Undefeated

From the U.S. Soccer Communications Center -- July 23, 2007
U.S. U-17 WNT PICKS UP TWO BIG WINS IN EUROPE: The U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team notched two impressive wins on a recent tour of Europe, defeating Denmark’s U-19 Women’s National Team, 3-0, on July 12 in Frankfurt, Germany, followed by a 4-0 win over England’s U-19s on July 14 in London. Both of the USA’s opponents were getting ready for the UEFA U-19 Women’s Championships being held July 18-29 in Iceland. Against the Danes, the USA was the aggressor from the beginning and the young Americans opened the scoring through Danielle Brunache in the 34th minute on a long shot that she stuck in the right corner. Christine Nairn made it 2-0 in the 61st minute, taking advantage of a poor clearance to slot from home inside the penalty area. Tiffany McCarty, who leads the U-17s in scoring this year with six goals, finished the game off with a goal in the 60th minute, scoring off an assist from Casey Short. Against England, the USA actually chased the ball for most of the game, but the forwards capitalized on their chances as Katy Frierson scored twice. Short and Lauren Alwine added the other goals. Frierson’s first goal came after a short corner kick and she hammered a shot into the upper corner. Short scored her goal in the 23rd minute as she blocked an England clearance into the net. Frierson added her second five minutes before halftime with a deft chip over the goalkeeper and Alwine accounted for the final margin in the 72nd minute, once again off a miscue by England in the back, as she won the ball from the goalkeeper and tapped it around her into the open net. The U.S. U-17s are undefeated thus far in 2007 with a 7-0-0 record.

A Meaningful Version of 'Soccer Dad'
By Jim Paglia

Dear Soccer Dad:

As a past PTA president, I learned that "Dear Parent" sometimes is code for "Mom." This article is for any parent, but fathers most of all.

Thirty-five percent of all children born in Illinois have no father listed on their birth certificate. Forty percent of the children in Illinois are in a home without an adult male presence. ABC News polled prison inmates showing that race, gender, education and poverty were not common denominators among criminals, but 85 percent of the inmates claim father absence. The statistics in most states are not much better, and some are worse.

Father absence may be the single greatest factor in the decline of American society. There are two kinds of absentee fathers in soccer: The ones who do not attend, and those who come in person, but not in spirit.

Some dads do immeasurable harm by not being in their children's lives. Others do equal harm by being involved the wrong way. Our children do not need us to be their trainer, motivator, agent-in-waiting, or play-by-play announcer during games.

As fathers, we can be a collective force for change at our children's games, and openly choose to set a better example. We can apply peer pressure, and insist there is no place in the game for parents living over-vicariously. We can be examples of men our children and the father-absent kids deserve.

If your child were exposed to an unsafe, harmful environment would you make your presence known, assert your fatherly authority, and protect your children as only fathers can? It is time we choose to do it in soccer.

The expression "Soccer Mom" has become a cliché. Sadly, some moms can be obnoxious spectators, too. Often, they learn that behavior observing men. Imagine the good that would come from being a highly visible and meaningful version of "Soccer Dad?" As the past president of the Illinois Fatherhood Initiative, I know there is no greater force in a child's life than a father.

Last year, I saw a father berate his 13-year-old son with comments like, "I didn't drive all this way to watch some freaking ballerina. Get your butt involved in the game!" His son's actions reflected the pain and humiliation of each screaming insult. His body literally jerked with each hurtful word. A second father joined the chorus and directed criticism toward his own son and the team in general. The entire team was playing with fear and embarrassment.

I spoke directly to the two dads in a calm, quiet manner and said I did not want my son exposed to that kind of verbal abuse. If they persisted, we would leave for the balance of the tournament. I moved my seat away from these two dads. After the game, I wrote an "open letter" to the coach, director of coaching and the parents asking for better touchline conduct.

Four things resulted:

1. The director of coaching supported my position in a letter to the parents.

2. The two fathers declared they were attending future games in silent protest.

3. At the next game, I sat apart from the other parents. Within minutes, all but the two dads moved their seats around me.

4. My son told me how proud he was of me.

Let's act like the men and fathers we are, setting the example our child and other father-absent children need. Our children should see men acting respectfully toward other people including coaches, officials, opponents and other parents. They need to see us responding to both victory and defeat with dignity and composure as responsible fathers.

Jim Paglia is a nationally recognized brand strategist who lives outside Chicago. He has an extensive background in soccer ranging from the NASL, to NCAA Division I, to World Cup 1994, and 30 years of club administration and coaching.

Alex Shinsky Continues His Bid for National Team Spot

CARSON, CALIFORNIA - U15 BNT head coach Jim Barlow has good things to say about the new cycle of players under his direction here this week. Barlow said this batch of 1993 birth year players, who played a trio of matches against area club teams here Tuesday night, have shown some notable qualities on the field.

Tuesday night matches bring mixed results
Three games Tuesday night at HDC allowed the coaching staff to watch the group play against some older club teams from the area, and the results were a bit mixed. The group of 45 was divided into 3 teams, on a somewhat tiered basis with modifications. (see lineups below)

The 1st group had a difficult evening and lost 5-1 to Real So Cal’s rising U16 team. The Southern Californians put a lot of pressure on the U.S. goal and might have scored even a few more goals. The U.S. team did manage to sustain some good possession, especially in the 2nd half, but didn’t generate too many good chances. They did get a nice goal however on a bullet header from Dominic Bonilla on a good cross from Joaquin Del Rosario.

The other 2 groups, more evenly divided, earned a win and a draw. The team playing the Real So Cal Blue team scored a pair of nice goals in the 2nd half, with Henry Rios and Nat Eggleston doing the honors. But Real got one back by beating the offside trap, and then capitalized on a miscue in the back for an equalizer to make it 2-2. A breakaway put a Real forward in 1v1 with goalkeeper Jacob Wagmeister in the final minutes, and when the forward was rounding the U.S. goalkeeper in the area, Wagmeister brought him down for a penalty. Had the proceedings been something other than this type of friendly the New Jersey GK would surely have been sent off, but having kindly been given the opportunity to stay in the game, Wagmeister made a diving save of the PK and the match ended at 2-2. Defenders Tim Parker, Walker Zimmerman and midfielder Nat Eggleston were solid for this group.

The other group, who actually played 1st, put on a very impressive display of heart and fight against a talented FC Barcelona team that appeared to include a number of 91s.

Amilcar Oliveros nearly put FCB up early with a good move and hard shot, but Will Whiddon was on hand to make the save. A bit later, a lax backpass from FCB was intercepted by the U15s’ McAmos Paye, who had his first shot partially stopped by the keeper, but followed it diligently and knocked it home to put the Nats up 1-0.

FCB’s Pablito Cruz, a ’91 and surefire Residency candidate, showed good work on the ball before having his shot blocked at the last instant by Andrew Wenger. Cruz wasn’t to be denied however and a minute later exhibited great close control in weaving through a few defenders before firing a shot home to make it 1-1.

After a few minutes of play in midfield, FCB again gifted the U.S. a goal with a slack backpass. This time is was Jon Tovar who intercepted the ball and the Southern Californian cleverly moved to the middle of the field and a little bit away from goal before uncorking a screamer that found the back of the net for a 2-1 U.S. lead.

When Barcelona looked they would equalize again shortly afterward, York, PA defender Joe Shinsky stepped in with a cool-as-can-be tackle in the area to dispossess the offensive player and preserve his team’s lead. Shinsky was excellent again all evening, winning tackles and doing a good job with distribution after gaining possession.

FCB continued to create chances and on one occasion Whiddon was forced to make a fingertip save to put the ball over the bar. On another, McAmos Paye showed an ability to work on defense and clear the danger.

But the Triangle (NC) United standout was most valuable in the offensive end. The diminutive Paye has a big bag of tricks, and unlike some who have picked up a move or 2, he actually knows when and how to use them in a way that helps his team in a match situation.

Of course none of this stopped FCB from continuing to cause the U.S. team problems. One such foray saw a good run and cross into the 6-yard box from the left side, but U.S. left back Scott Thomsen rushed in with a timely clearance the save the U.S. lead.

Shortly afterward, the U.S. created a goalscoring opportunity and capitalized. Jon Tovar fed a pass to Kevin Pahl, who played a very nice ball for Jack Coleman. The Oklahoman provided a great finish from a wide angle and the U.S. took a 3-1 lead. FCB put a player in 1v1 against Whiddon, and while the offside flag went up, nobody noticed it before the California goalkeeper made a strong save on the shot, and the teams went to the break.

In the 2nd half, the superior size and speed of FCB became more evident, and Jesus Gonzalez made it 3-2 with a weaving run and strike. But with fatigue setting in, the U.S. side showed the type of heart and spirit befitting the national team jersey. Kevin Pahl made a vital tackle when FCB’s Shawhin Berenji made a good dribbling run into the area. Jack Coleman bravely went down to block a shot after a good FCB passing move, and goalkeeper Whiddon even took a kick to the head as he bravely rushed out to stop a breakaway and what surely would have been an FCB tying goal in the final minutes. The heroics were not in vain and the U.S. team hung on for a 3-2 win.

“We knew they were faster and a lot stronger than us, so we just wanted to use our smarts and try to contain them and make them mess up before we step in for the ball. We had to try and read the play and think ahead of them,” Paye, whose family moved to the U.S. from Liberia, said. “If you can play simple and calm down you play a better and you can outsmart a team."

Paye, a devotee of Brazilian soccer, said his considerable skills are a product of persistence and passion.

“I spend a lot of time doing training with my coach and if I don’t have training I’ll still find somewhere to play,” he said. “I’m hoping I’m doing good and I want to keep working because I really want to do well and I love the game.”

Defensive juggernaut Shinsky cited team defending principles with helping his team win Tuesday, and said family and friends were a big help in developing his own abilities on the defensive side of the ball.

“You try to get into space and get men on the ball because they are a lot faster and bigger than us, so we tried to double down and get more men around the ball,” he said. “When I was younger I used to play with older kids so I got used to going in hard on tackles, and my brother played defense so I learned a lot from him.”

Shinsky, who plays club soccer for SuperNova out of Harrisburg, PA, said the camp’s intensity is to his liking.

“It’s a lot more intense than previous camps and I’m enjoying it,” he said. “It’s a great challenge.”

The U15 squad will play 3 more matches against area teams Thursday evening. The camp closes following a pair of matches Saturday.

Meet Chase Miller, Named to National Pool

Chase, who lives in Duncannon (perry County) and attends Susquenita H.S., started playing serious soccer when he was about 12 years old, with a local club team called Hawk Rock and still plays with them throughout the Spring season in order to prepare for the High School season. he tells us, "the U19 team is basically our high school team."

When asked how he ended up playing Center Back, he replied "I don't really know why. I guess it's due to always playing 1 on 1 vs my cousin (Anthony Kapp) over the summers of my early teen years at my gram's house. It was a lot of fun playing against him, and he had very good foot skills, so it was always a challenge to get the ball from him, which I liked. And honestly, I wouldn't rather play in any other positions."

"At center back, you see the whole field, you can conduct the field and take charge. i also occasionally get the opportunity to get forward and join the attack, which, according to my coaches, I do a little bit too often, so it's important to choose the right times to get forward."

Chase started playing ODP at age 13, having heard about it from his teammates. "I tried out, nervous and excited, but I found out that I had made the state team. I then made it through the regional pool and eventually to the national pool, all in the same year that I tried out."

Chase found out he was chosen for the national pool while at the regional camp at Rider College. At first he was surprised to learn he made the regional pool. Then he was called into the gym and told that he made it to the national pool camp in Massachussetts, at the Middlesex Prep School.

"I will remember that day," Case recalled. "The smile wouldn't go away from my face, it was unbelievable that i had made both the regional and national pool in the same day. All the hard work that I had endured had finally paid off. I didn't have to worry about anything. There was no stress, no worries. I had made the national pool, and I was determined to stay there."

Despite his success, Chase feels the need to improve his speed. "As a young kid, I was very slow, but I could always kick the ball farther than most of the other kids my age."

He also sees the need to improve his ability to win 50/50 balls, and not getting beat one on one.

Chase cites coach Nicki Nicolic for his improvement he has made. "He made me the player I am today."

"When I first joined Super Nova," Case goes on, "I was pretty big, with not much skill, but a lot of courage and determination. Nicki kept after me and helped me progress to where I am now, so I have much to thank him for.

Chase also believes his cousin, Anthony Kapp, had a hand at getting him to his current level. "Before I was serious about soccer, I was a multi-athlete, playing many different sports. However, Anthony persuaded me into playing only soccer...We played everyday over the summer doing anything from juggling to PK's to one on one, you name it, we did it."

"I've pretty much been playing up a couple years," Chase believes this has made him tougher and stronger. "This forced me to play like them."

Chase looks to improve his touch on the ball. "I need to get better with the ball - trapping, first touch, dribbling - these are key elements needed to play soccer."

He also recognizes the need to develop a better sense of where all the other players are. "this is a key, because if you lose track of a player, when in the back, you'll usually get punished for it."

While at a camp in Carson, CA at the Home Depot Center, coach Jim Barlow got on his case about taking too many unnecessary touches. Coach Barlow taught him that by taking so many touches, good options for passes would close down often leaving him in a panic with the ball because there weren't any open options. "Playing fast at this high level is so important."

Chase hopes to play professionally, perhaps in Europe. "This has been a dream of mine for a while now, and I hope it turns into reality for me."

Because all of the players on the National team are pretty much the same physically, it prevents people from going one on one all the time, focusing them to play as a team as well as having "a smart soccer brain," Chase said. "When playing, you must know who and where your options are, what would be a good decision with the ball."

He finds the National team to be fun. "All of the kids get along well and the soccer is superb as well. This makes the trip enjoyable and memorable. When the soccer is going well and everyone is having a good time, the trips are great."

Chase's parents asked us to mention, "We're really proud of all he has done in the past two years and can't thank EPYSA, the State, Regional and national ODP programs for making these opportunities available.

Super Nova U-13 Girls help a family in need!

This fall, the U-13 girls and their families sold candles as a fund-raiser. This has become an annual event for the team, using the proceeds to “spread cheer” to a charitable cause and have a Holiday celebration for the team. Last year, the girls made small gifts and visited the Ronald McDonald House in Hershey – a housing facility for families of children with cancer, while their children are being treated at the Medical Center. This year, the situation of a needy family in our area was presented to our girls. The breadwinner of the family had just lost his job. The family has a 13 year old daughter and a 3 year old little boy. The family is without heat in the house and struggling to feed the family. Another group of people provided the family with some gifts for the children and a tank of heating oil to heat their house. The Super Nova girls donated food items and purchased 7 bags of grocery items, including a turkey for their Holiday meal. The family was overwhelmed and grateful. The grandmother of the family mentioned to me (regarding the 13 year old girl), “In past years, she was in a situation to help needy families, now she is on the receiving end of this. Your girls have truly blessed their family.”

The girls concluded their Holiday celebration with a family party at the Rodriguez home at Milton Hershey schools. The girls sang carols, exchanged bags of cookies, made ski hats, were entertained with a “season in review” slide show and ended with a girls’ sleepover.
The girls look forward to another great year of soccer, beginning with their Indoor State Cup competition on January 6th! Good luck U-13 girls!
