2006 WPIAL AAA Boys Soccer Finals Set

Peters Township Indians (19-2-1) and Bethel Park Black Hawks (16-4-1) will be kicking for WPIAL AAA gold on Super Soccer on Saturday, November 4th at 8:00pm at Elizabeth Forward High School.  While the Indians are appearing in their third championship game in 4 years, this marks Bethel Park's first appearance in the 'ship.

Bethel Park and Peters Township were supposed to play a non-section game the final week of the regular season.

"We usually play Peters every year," Bethel Park coach Tom Galietta said. "I know Rob, [Eldridge] their head coach, very well and he knows me very well and it's a good rivalry. It's nice to be playing them in the WPIAL final. We cancelled with them a couple weeks ago because we both had difficult section matches that week.

"We had Lebo and they had [Upper] St. Clair. The [tournament] committee was meeting that night, so that game would have no bearing on the playoff pairings.

"Robbie called me and said he hoped we'd see each other later in the playoffs. For it to work out this way, if you want to call this destiny, so be it."

Fwd: Urgent: Field Closures

U8 Coaches:

See Pete's email below.

Peterswood Soccer Complex and Old Grasshopper fields will be closed to practices this week, but will be open (weather permitting) on the weekend on Nov 4 & 5 for any GH, U8, U11/12 games that need to be made up or are already on the regular game schedule.

Subject: Urgent: Field Closures

Commissioners,
 
The heavy rains the last half of our Fall season and heavy usage at all fields has taken its toll on our field conditions.  Simply put, they are worn, muddy, spongy and sorely needing a break from use. 
 
Elm Grove & Rees.  During the past week, the PTP&R Maintenance staff strafed and strip seeded Elm Grove and Rees Park fields.  Also, PTSA volunteers spot sodded heavy use areas at Elm Grove and Rees Park this Sunday morning.  Consequently, to give those fields a good start for the Spring season, Elm Grove and Rees Park fields will be closed the remainder of the Fall season (no practices and no games). 
 
Peterswood Soccer Complex and Old Grasshopper.  Due to heavy use and sparse turf at Peterswood Soccer Complex, our adopt-a-field volunteers chose not to spot sod there as there are simply too many bare areas to cover.  PTSA expects that the PTP&R Maintenance Department and PTSA's adopt-a-field volunteers will be doing additional work on that field soon.  Consequently, Peterswood Soccer Complex and Old Grasshopper fields will be closed to practices this week, but will be open (weather permitting) on the weekend on Nov 4 & 5 for any GH, U8, U11/12 games that need to be made up or are already on the regular game schedule.  Note that all goals have been pulled to the edge of the field area at Peterswood Soccer Complex and all GH goals have been put in storage, so any rescheduled games there will require additional field setup. 
 
Rees Outfield.  A temporary U10 field has been lined on the Rees baseball outfield ... it is not to be used for practices this week, but will be available for games on Nov 4 ... any U10 coaches desiring to makeup any games on that field must contact Chuck Harrison to schedule a match which will be allocated on a first come / first served basis.
 
With the clocks being set back an hour, darkness will have prevented most convenient practice times this week even if the fields were open.  Also, with temperatures over the next week forecast to be with lows in the 30s and 40s, it is expected that most coaches, players and parents would prefer to have their seasons end this weekend.  Please request all your coaches to take the player ages and cold temperatures into consideration as they consider whether to schedule make-up games, or not.  Note that our fields were kept open for every game weekend and I believe some teams played the full 8 game schedule and most have played at least 7 games.
 
On behalf of the Field Director and field volunteers, I thank you in advance for honoring our field closures this week.  The PTSA Coaches' hotline will be updated accordingly, but please forward this message to all your coaches so we can ensure compliance.
 
Thanks.

Field Conditions & Last Day of Games

U8 Boys Coaches:

I know the fields are open on this last rainy day of the fall session. However, if you want, due to the weather, feel free to reschedule your game (see U8 home page for details) to next weekend (rescheduling for the week days won't work due to DST).

Also, if you play today, please use your best judgement. If the fields are very wet, and there are puddles, and player safety is an issue, then please cancel your game.

I'm leaving it up to you guys to make a good judgement call.

Thanks.

--Tony Belfiore
