Thought I'd bring this back to the front page again since I recently got an email asking about
the lack of HS stories.
The Facebook Page is still active. You are invited to post your game scores there as a source of
current info.
I have updated my photo website to reflect my new St Louis efforts. All photos from 2008 to
present are still available for purchase at the new address http://soccerstl.smugmug.com/
After six plus years of coverage, it's time for this boy to bid you goodbye. I'm moving to St

I'm in discussions with several individuals and a few organizations about the possibility of
continuing my efforts here to create 'soccer junkies' as Jeremy Alumbaugh described it a few years
ago.
