17th Annual Golf Outing Recap: For the Cause

Posted: Sunday, May 04, 2008 at 10:23

The rolling hills of Juniata Golf Club and Spa hosted an overflow crowd of over 130 golfers and various illuminaries at the 17th Annual Golf outing benefitting North Soccer Alumni. 

The outing allows North Soccer Alums and friends of North Soccer to informally gather to spin some tales of yester year, reunite with friends they haven't seen in a while and of course to raise funds to benefit North Soccer.

The Alumnia Association thanks those who not only participated, but contributed For the Cause. 

Please start marking your calendars for next years outing in early Spring 2009.

It is never too late to contribute, all contributions help the program.

Our next official event is the Alumni Game which will be held in either September or early October.  Unofficially, we will gather at the Falcon Fun in the Sun, scheduled for sometime in early August in Wildwood.

Another note, North plays Wildwood Catholic over Labor Day, at Maxwell Field in Wildwood, NJ.  Game date is September 6th.

 

 

New Alignment for Upcoming Season

For the upcoming 2008, the PCL is formally joining the PIAA. In order to compete on a fair basis, the soccer coaches of the PCL decided in the Fall of 2007 to realign the divisional structure according to PIAA guidelines.

The new divisions will be as follows. The playoffs are also adjusted but there still will only be one champion for the PCL in 2008.

Red Division:

Archbiship Ryan
Cardinal O'Hara
Father Judge
LaSalle
Monsignor Bonner
North Catholic
Roman Catholic
St. Joe's Prep

Blue Division:

Archbishop Carroll
Archbishop Wood
Bishop McDevitt
Cardinal Dougherty
Conwell Egan
Kennedy Kenrick
Lansdale Catholic (new member 2008)
Neumann-Goretti
West Catholic

The playoff structure is as follows:

1. The top 6 teams from the Red Division make the playoffs and the top 2 teams from the Blue make the playoffs.
2. First round is within division. In the Red, it will be 1 vs. 6, 2 vs. 5, 3 vs. 4.
3. The four remaining teams will be re-seeded. Tie-breakers will be broken by total points accumulated in the season.
4. The two remaining teams will play for championship.
5. As of now, the champion would move on to play the Public League champion for the Division 12 title and move on to the PIAA Regional playoffs in the AAA category.
6. The first place team in the regular season in the Blue Division will move on to play the Public League champion in the AA bracket of PIAA and the winner moving on to the PIAA Regional playoffs.

NCSA Hall of Fame


 

Recap:  Inaugural Class 2008 Induction

 

On March 30, 2008, the inaugural class of North Catholic Soccer Alumni, Inc. was officially inducted before an overflow crowd at Ramono's Caterers.  Emceed by Mr. Paul Moore of Blackthorne fame, the illustrious group provided the facts on how North Soccer influenced the meteoric rise of soccer in the City of Philadelphia, the Tri-state area and the Country.  This, of course, is balanced by the impact of North Catholic on the inductees as gentlemen, husbands, fathers and finally soccer legends.

This does not cease our mission.  The NCSA's mission is to proudly support its Alumni and their accomplishments together with supporting the continuing efforts of North Catholic Soccer.  Our mission can only be successful with your help.  Join the Cause by filling out the Alumni Form located on the right side of this page.
