RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 The Eagles have a core group of some very talented members who have been playing together for several years (both within the program and in regional travel circuits). Don't be deceived by their record -- they beat Lord Botetourt (the #3 seed in the region) in the Blue Ridge District tournament just last week. sixcat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is that I have quite a bit of inside information when it comes to SR based on my involvement with a travel club that most of those guys played with. I have directly coached or managed 9 of this year's starters (great kids and families all). This is arguably the very best team that Staunton River has ever fielded -- and in terms of talent it may be the high water mark there for a long time. They will be the underdog heading into the next round, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them knock off Cave Spring. The development of travel soccer in this area has really benefited the local high school teams. Pretty much all players in the area between Radford and Lynchburg (and Lexington and Martinsville/Danville running somewhat north to south) have access to good year-round competition now. Congrats to Abingdon on a superb season and continued prayers for healing. sixcat and Hokie777 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
