Soccer in the Community

Posted by ESPO In October 2009

...James and his partner, Mark Taylor, have partnered with several local organizations to bring soccer to over 500 kids who otherwise wouldn't have had the chance to discover the game. Summer and winter camps take kids from neighborhoods such as East Liberty, Homestead and Hazelwood and give them the opportunity to learn and play soccer in a safe and caring environment...

Dynamic Duo ?

From the looks of it, we'll never know...

It's no secret that the Hounds have two very explosive forwards in Randolph Jerome and Sean Bucknor. Jerome has been featured a ton so far this season, leading the team with three goals. Bucknor on the other hand has only had one start, on the road in Harrisburg while Jerome recovered from a set of bruised ribs. Will we ever see these two paired up, and if not, why? Down by two goals to Richmond last night, Jerome was subbed for Bucknor in the 78th minute. Sean went on to record a few shots and created some great scoring chances down the stretch. Why couldn't we have pulled a fullback off and kept Jerome in the game? I cannot see any backline in the USL2 being able to stop these two monsters at the same time. Also, the 4-5-1 formation is stifling, but it's also taxing on the lone forward and wingers. These guys had started their third game in six days. Richmond had played on Saturday night in Maryland. We should have utilized our depth and been the more energized team throughout the contest. Make no mistake about it, we dropped three very important points at home which could have vaulted us into 4th place. Instead, we're sitting in 8th wondering if this is the beginning of the end.

We want Bucknor to get a chance alongside of Jerome up top. Please gaffer, UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!!!
