Thanks Fozziewozzie.
Tualatin HS has given us a couple of good ones, huh? Kaylie Barton and Natalie Budge. I was surprised by Natalie's statistics. I thought she had an "average" career at UP...BUT BOY...did her numbers prove me wrong! I was "pleasantly" surprised! Next to Tiffeny, she's become one of the best representatives for local talent to don a Pilot uniform! Good for her! Bravo!
We might see a another T-Wolve become a Pilot for 2009, eh? I went to see Courtney Verloo play again. This time it was one of the playoff games verus Clackamas. I only was there for the first half though. It was also the same night of the LMU game...(and Senior night). But, at least I got a chance to (preview?) the future...and then watch a great bunch of seniors finish out their careers at UP! That's a pretty complete day for a Pilot fan, huh?
Unfortunately, I didn't see enough of the game to gauge her performance and report anything significant. I did learn that Clackamas had ended Tualatin's defense of its State Championship! I didn't study the HS bracket very hard....but I definitely would have set some time aside if Tualatin and Courtney....advanced to play Lincoln and Kendall!! That would've been a markee game to watch, huh?
I remember reading about Christine's recruiting story too! Geezer had reminded me of a tidbit that Coach Dorrance had offered her a full scholarship if she went to UNC...something he rarely does. We're so lucky. I think in that same article Christine talked about accepting and making a visit to Nebraska. I don't know....I think Christine wears Purple a lot better than Red or Carolina Blue...Yuk!
GO PILOTS!!!

Well, actually, I think she looks pretty good in red now playing for Canada.

i believe the highest recruit the pilots ever signed was kylie bartion. parade magazine rated her #2 in her class behind a gal from either yakima or the tri-cities areas, i cant remember other then she was from the state of washington.
kylie was from tualitan an was best friends w/vanessa talbot from lake oswego who also came to u of p. the two of them together were such a joy to watch, a contrast in styles but perfectly complimetry to each other.

1000 Views!

1000 views - I'm guessing this is an all-time high. Any one care to answer me and become the 50th post? I'm sure that's a record, too. 
(Trivial today? Yeah, but what the heck. I need a distraction or two today! I feel more butterflies creeping in. I fear by gametime I may be in the hospital having my stomach pumped.)

FANatic, I'll oblige...
50th post! I hear you on the distractions needed, the Men's game couldn't have come at better time, I was having withdrawls. I need to go play some mud football today to make it the next 12 hours... although 12 hours from now we will be in the 32nd minute and be up 5-nil... I can dream right

geezer,
in ur link to tinurl, it mentions that verloo plays at fc portland for her club team. let's see, there are two tualitan alum who have played/play for u of p an she plays for clive's academy in club soccer. if she is all that is being hyped, how can she not come to u of p. an a 4.0 gpa? that's what we recruit here. soccer players an intelligent students.
by the way, anyone notice in the article about lisa sari in oregonian in the last week or so it mentioned that lisa had just been to chicago on a recruiting trip? hmmm, chicago. isnt that notre dame territory?

Well if she was looking at players in Illinois, I'd keep an eye on these players on the U-16 pool:
Oliver, Emily GK 5-7 02/07/92 Flossmoor, Ill. Windy City Pride / Homewood Flossmoore HS
Oyster, Megan D 5-7 09/03/92 Naperville, Ill. Windy City Pride / Scullen MS
Quon, Rachel D 5-2 05/21/91 Lake Forest, Ill. Eclipse Select / Lake Forest HS
Rodriguez, Brianne M 5-4 03/03/91 Aurora, Ill. Eclipse Select / Waubonsie Valley
Maybe do a little research, too.
We recruit soccer players and intelligent students, but I think they do that at Stanford and a couple other places, too.
I think part of the issue is educating recruits as to the UP culture. Garrett was quoted on TV that UP isn't for everyone.
Can they play , or are they willing to play, soccer like you saw Saturday night?

A little news on Halley Kreminski--It seems she's rounding out her athletic skills by playing in the back court on her high school team this winter.
She was a Basketball all star as a soph, but didn't play last year to concentrate on soccer. Looks like now that she's sure of her soccer path, she's going to give it another go in basketball.
