Pick 6 Contest Results
There were lots of entries this year. And with all of the semi-final favorite teams advancing to the finals you would expect that there would be a lot of people with a chance of getting all six picks correct.

But only one person submitted a perfect entry. That person was Nate Nicholas of UMS Wright. It didn’t hurt that Nate picked his own team to win the 4A Boys championship since that was the pick that tripped up a lot of the contestants who came close.

Here are the Pick 6 Contest results: 

Winner – Nate Nicholas (Perfect Pick 6 out of 6)

Getting 5 out of 6 picks: (9 People)

Andy Kuklinski, Scotty Jackson, Eddie Holmes, Michael M, Arnold Mooney, Sam Collins, Tim Ashcom, Katahya Eppenger, and Larry K. Mitchell.

42 People got 4 out of 6 picks right. They are:

Jim Reeves, Tim Campbell, R. Holcombe, Jonathan Barlow, Reagan Rhone, Al Kirschbaum, Buddy Wilson, John Davis, Jeff Luna, Lee Hunt, Rick Keller, Michael Yarchak, Penny Smith, Susan Ball, Steve Van Horn, Dale Lee, Jack E. Shea, Jim Strain, Todd Wood, David Cienfuegos, Marvin Chou, Todd Dunn, Steve Buchthal, Ken Hudson, Dennis Sherrin, Ken Gamble, Zach Kosanda, Susan Bunn, Andrew Brower, Michael Ridgeway, Dennis Arnold, beeves, Patrick Gadilhe, Whit Box, Brad Carwile, Jeff Jones, Bill Ray, Christopher Malone, Landon, Pat Johnston, Tom Konantz, and Amaad Rana.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Alabama High School Soccer Coaches Association is to foster the game of high school soccer and to provide high school soccer coaches and student athletes the best opportunities for success and to give those student athletes and coaches a voice in the Alabama High School Athletic Association. 

Vision
To promote high school soccer while supporting the highest possible level of soccer in Alabama.

Organizing Committee
(listed alphabetically) – Joe Carter, Mike Fricke, Ken Gamble, Mac Matthews, Steve Morisani, Mike Pline, and Joe Webb.  The first meeting of the Alabama High School Soccer Coaches Association was Saturday January 5th in Prattville, Alabama. Prattville was chosen for its central location. A place and date for future meetings will be announced soon.

Membership
Open to all high school coaches.  We need a small membership fee.  This will help cover the costs of the website and start-up costs and should be small and probably cover a two year period initially.  $20 is the initial suggested amount.

Future Issues

  • Provide and serve notice of coaching education opportunities for Alabama High School coaches.
  • Put on coaching clinics and licensing courses for high school coaches.
  • Work with AHSAA to provide the fairest possible playoff format.
  • Work with the NSCAA (largest coaching organization in US).
  • Provide an annual spring meeting for the association. 
  • Membership – allow all coaches to join?
  • Organizational meeting – when, where, etc.
  • Become involved with AHSADCA and help with the annual North vs. South All-star game held in conjunction with All-star Week.
  • Help coordinate the weekly High School Soccer Coaches Poll in conjunction with Eurosport Scoreboard.
  • Provide a website as a means of communication and education among Alabama's high school soccer coaches. Include a place where coaches can request games and provide votes on current issues.
  • Help select an all-District, All-South (and North), or All State team.
  • Providing end-of-season Awards and Acknowledgements Banquet with annual Alabama Mr. & Mrs. Soccer awards. Also recognize coaches and referees of the year awards.
  • Recommend re-writing the tie-breaker rules for the state playoffs for clarification
  • Other Issues

Possible Goals:
  • Host a coaching clinic for high school coaches in conjunction with the AHSAA High School Final Four in Huntsville allowing  professional development credit for coaches while also allowing viewing of Final Four games.
  • Lobby for membership-sponsored changes to our sport within the framework of the AHSAA. 
  • Provide a single voice for soccer within AHSAA and provide experience and guidance in soccer related issues.
  • "Grow" the sport in ALL areas of Alabama with special interest in those rural areas where soccer growth has lagged.
  • Provide an Alabama Soccer Hall of Fame with recognition for outstanding coaches, players, officials, and contributors.
  • Host a membership meeting in conjunction with the annual NSCAA national convention.
  • Vote and select a "Team of the Week" each week during the season.
  • Other goals to be added.
