It is with deep
sadness that we inform our club, teams, and players that we lost
one of our U-18 players in a tragic car accident. Cole Ballay
was leaving school yesterday and was involved in a car accident
and struck a tree. Cole was a very good and determined
young player on our U-18 Academy team and a fine young man.
Please keep Cole and his family in your thoughts and prayers as
his family goes through this most difficult time.

PDA
Wildcats: A Retrospective
by Elisabeth Redmond & Robert Ziegler 1/14/2007
Editor’s Note: Following is a tribute by Duke midfielder Elisabeth
Redmond to her club team, PDA Wildcats. The squad won four consecutive
Region I championships and a national title. The team members have
finished their 1st season of college soccer and are looking to a final
bite at the apple this summer when they intend to compete for the U.S.
Youth Soccer U19 National Championship, beginning with the New Jersey
State Cup. Interspersed with Ms. Redmond’s comments are quotes from
some other team members made during a TDS interview in Des Moines,
Iowa last July.
