Cont. from IB of practice, you get tired of beating on each other, and this way we get to go against somebody else and see how they do.” For many of the players, it was their first experience with a joint-practice setting, he added. “They did some drills that we had never done,” Shoemaker said, “and so, they did some things we had never seen and had to do. So, it was good for us, again, to be put in (situations), because you always want to be put in game-like situations and things that you can allow your kids to work through, that are going to duplicate those game-type deals. “So, it allowed us to do that. That helped us.” Some of the competitions included one- on-one and two-on-two drills to go along with the 7-on-7 scrimmage game. “Now, all of a sudden you’re going against someone you’ve never gone against before,” Shoemaker said. “Somebody who’s a little more athletic, maybe faster or just different. “They play their coverages different. They coach their kids a little bit different in how they do things. So, it was good for our kids from the competition aspect of it. It’s always good for them to get to do that.” From the coaching perspective, from now until the Aug. 4 scrimmage game vs. Habersham Central High School, Shoemak er wants to just see his squad execute what they’ve practiced. “We’ve got to be in shape and be able to execute and mn what we run,” he said. “Obviously, offensively, I want to be able to execute and mn our plays. Then, defensively, I want to line up correctly and be able to adjust to what the other team’s doing. “Right now, I’m looking for effort and execution.” MainStreet Newspapers All-Area Boys’ Track Team All selections based on state meet times/distances/heights.

Kyle ... Cont. from IB But one thing was clear, Atlanta didn’t have just an ordinary expansion fran chise. New teams are sup posed to be terrible. Those first years are supposed to be the dark years of a fran chise before it’s built into a contender. The most recent expan sion teams in all major American sports have been losers. Orlando City SC and New York City FC, the last two MLS franchises, both had losing records in their inaugural seasons. In fact, all four previous expansion franchises (Philadelphia Union, Portland Timbers, Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact) had los ing records in their first season. All six NFL expansion teams in the post-merg er era (1970-present) had losing records in their first seasons; the Tampa Bay Buccaneers even lost their first 26 games. Every single MLB and NBA expansion franchise started their exis tence with a losing record. So even though there was reason to be enthusiastic about Adanta United’s first season, there certainly was no reason to be optimistic because brand new fran chises just aren’t any good. And yet there was. They showed an ability to score goals at any moment and with any player. They also showed off an intensity and set of skills to hang around with anyone in the MLS. A week after Atlanta’s first game, they traveled to Minnesota to play the other new team. In a game played in the snow, Atlanta won 6-1 and Josef Mar tinez scored six of them. Atlanta returned to Bobby Dodd Stadium the fol lowing weekend and dis patched of the Chicago Fire 4-1. Martinez scored two in that game to make his name known as one of the league’s best scorers. Unfortunately, Martinez went down with an inju ry while playing for the Venezuelan National team. Right before Adanta trav eled to Seadle to take on the defending MLS Cham pions, the Seatde Sound ers. Without Martinez, the Sounders were a clear favorite at home.

Atlanta then traveled to Toronto to play one of the better teams from 2016 and ended that match with a 2-2 draw. After five games, Atlanta United was 2-1-2. Not bad, not great. But April and May were not kind to Atlanta Unit ed. Following the draw in Toronto, Atlanta won only one of their following five games. That included losses to D.C. United, one of the worst teams in the MLS, and a loss to New York City FC that the team wanted to forget immediately. Kyle Funderburk is a reporter for MainStreet Newspapers.
