Kyle Newsome will return as a 4 year starter. As well, the keeper (not sure of his name) will be back. Both Huff brothers should have great years with the younger Huff stepping up quite a bit in the midfield (at least that is where he should be playing). Justin Aeh returns also with a ton of experie...

Minford generally has girls teams at the U14 level I believe. You might want to contact Dave Munion to find out more.

You got it NDC... Noose. I haven't seen Lewis play since he was in high school, but I do remember playing with him at a camp I helped work during the spring a few years ago. He was quite good for as young as he was, but I don't remember him being anything special. However, that was like 4 years ago....

I do love you FalconFan.

As the great hymn says...onward Falcon soldiers!

easy Rx...seeing as there is sooooo much conversation going on in this forum lol.

Don't take the internet too seriously it's all in fun:)

Goodness man, I was a middie most of the time. Usually on one of the wings. I was the handsome one with the good hair Not the annoying kid from Gallia County haha.

I played my high school ball in Scioto county, but now I've been relegated to IM Soccer in Illinois

Hey NDC, I think I might have played a little club soccer with you. With the great Kevin Peacock.

FalconFan,

You are a true gentleman who has the strength of more than one small child

Remember...if you're at sleep away camp, never trust the quiet girl with "a little something extra going on"

You are completely right. Waverly had quit using the boomball style while Purpero was in school, and Minford had stopped relying on it while Price was at the helm. I think Burg's success last year was partly due to their regression from the boomball formula. Wes Lyons was a lot of why they stayed aw...

It's incredibly difficult for a team from rural southern ohio to make the state soccer tournament. Competing with Cincinnati teams and private schools always hurts them. Also, the lack of club and competitive winter opportunities hurts players. I believe that Valley is the only team from Scioto Coun...

Burgboy,

Coach Boll is the second longest active coach in the state of Ohio. Not many more coaches have coached longer than that.

Burgboy, you said Boll hasn't coached as long as some people in the state...WHAT???? Coach Boll has been coaching Burg since the beginning of their team in 1986. That seems like a long time to me. As well, the OHSAA lists him as having 300 wins by 2006, quite impressive. What you may be referring to...

I completely agree that Coach Boll is the best coach in the SOC. I do believe that there is another great SOC coach not coaching at the moment who rivals Boll. Its sad to me that Mark Price isn't coaching at Minford.

I would doubt that open field has started yet. The snow just melted

Open fields will probably start toward the beginning of May. I know that Coach Boll at Wheelersburg is quite involved in the track program so I'm sure he'll be waiting a bit.

Please, please, please edit the end of that last comment. That is incredibly offensive. Lets keep the talk on the SOC.

I haven't heard a lot about the SOC 1. I'm much more familiar with 2, does anyone have any information?

I can't imagine that Evan's dad and brother have let him not play soccer. I'm not sure if he played club soccer, but I heard he was planning to. Evan's got a lot of natural skill, but you definitely do have to keep working on things to keep it up.

My pick for player of the year would have to go to Evan Price. His help last year could have easily helped Minford win an SOC and District Championship. Freshman of the year will come from Waverly

Waverly may be young but they've got just as much experience as most kids playing in the league right now. These kids have been playing club ball and indoor for years. I know many of the players on other SOC teams have been playing for club teams and indoor soccer, but these Waverly kids have done a...

I don't think it's such a given for Burg to be the SOC champs. It'll be a tight race between Burg, Waverly, and Minford. Whoever has the most new players step up will be the SOC champion. Personally I think it will be Waverly, but I'd love to see Minford win the league.
