Wow, We Beat Hutch, that was pretty mean, thanks for apologizing though. Derby Football gets enough recognition in this town so let us praise our soccer team for doing so well, okay? We don’t get our game tapes played during lunch at the high school like you guys do. I have to say the students at Derby should be proud of how well all their teams are doing - cross country, volleyball and golf included along with soccer and football. You guys have some great athletes at the high school.

Weird, Rose Hill had half there JV playing in that game along with a guy who didn’t even play soccer?

One player can help out a team. Sometimes all you need is that extra scoring threat. Or that extra defender. The Derby coach has got to hate himself for letting a talent like Austin Walls get away. He could have easily been the difference maker. Just like they shouldn’t have ever kicked Alex J. off the team. You can’t say Walls wouldn’t have helped out that team. You can’t say he wouldn’t have been just as dominate at Derby. The coach was just to dumb to give him the chance…

Funny thing is, we won’t ever really know which team is better. The two won’t ever really play eachother so it doesn’t matter. Both teams are very, very good. But this is Kansas High School soccer…not a huge deal. Lets talk about something that matters to more than just a few fairies, and soccer moms. High School Football is back in Derby. Its bringing this town together, and you are tearing it apart.

I would also like to say that Rose Hill better be ready for when we scrimmage them at seasons end. We will have a full team there, and there will be no excuses.

First off I want to take my hat off to the Rose Hill soccer team. Way to climb up from the pits and make a name for yourself. Honestly I wish Mr. Walls never made the transition there, but life happens and obviously we have been doing something right with the core players we have right now. We could all play the “what if game” all we like but it makes no sense to dwell on it. Heck I am one of the biggest Kansas City Chiefs fans you will ever meet and I know how the “what if” game goes. Whats done is done, build a bridge and get over it.

Next, I am going to defend Austin Steadman. The kid has lit up opposing teams with his TEAM skills. I can’t think of many other people that are as TEAM oriented as he is this year. IF you think that you know him from past seasons, you haven’t wittnessed much yet.

Now for the game… Both teams that took the field thursday night had a lot going for them. We finally played a team that took that glory from us, life happens. I am not worried about it much because our team battled, and at times were inches away from victory. No matter the opponent we always seem to be in it no matter how much talent the other team has. Thats why I am so excited for the postseason… I know whoever we play, it will be a good game. Hopefully with a little luck and consistency in intensity our team will be wearing rings and seasons end.

I didn’t say Steadman was the only reason Derby is successful this year, I have watched Derby soccer for 12 years and this by far is the best TEAM play I have seen in those 12 years and that is why they are so successful as a whole. They don’t point fingers, they don’t play the blame game and break down constantly, they all maintain their composure pretty well and should be proud of themselves for the great competitive games they have been involved in. I say we stop talking about any ONE player in particular and talk about the TEAM as a whole. I’m sorry, I have to defend any Derby individual players when I feel like they are being personally attacked. A lot of the blogs out here are absolutely crazy sometimes.

No joke even as a derby fan i get tired of hearing about austin steadman all the time. sure he is a great player but u guys make it sound like he is the only reason derby is having any success this year. austin said it himself they are playing terrific TEAM defense and there mids are playing outstanding.
