Macalester Pre-Season Approaches

Determined Scots will be descending on Macalester's campus in just a few weeks time to prepare for the upcoming season in the MIAC. Expectations are high as the Scots will look to repeat as conference champs and more importantly will look to make a deep run into the NCAA tournament. In what some may see as a shocker, Coach Ian Barker was able to keep budding stars, Jonathan Dachenhaus, Ian HC, and the Mercurial Doddy, from being lured overseas by the likes of Tottenham, Mito Hollyhock, and Dutch giants Ajax. One of the more exciting developments for the upcoming season is the new headband rule that the team decided upon. For every game the Macalester Scots will wear either a blue or orange headband, that includes coach Ian Barker. This may come as a surprise to some of you but what most people don't know is that headbands let you jump twice as high, run twice as fast, and have the killer instinct of a great white shark. Yes, it is shocking but you better believe it and you better get ready for a crazy season in the MIAC.

Ian Henderson-Charnow to Mito HollyHock?

Could Henderson-Charnow be heading to J.League 2 side Mito HollyHock?

Ian Henderson-Charnow, 18, of Brooklyn, NY, may be on trial in the land of the ninjas. This past fall, Ian Henderson-Charnow impressed the soccer world with his attacking flair and hard-nosed tackles in his freshman season at Macalester College. "I identified this freshman, and I said that he could be making an impact with the first team sooner rather than later," said Macalester coach Ian Barker. Jonathan Dachenhaus, fellow team mate at Mac, is rumored to have created the opportunity for the highly-touted centre midfielder. Dachenhaus, who has been training with Tottenham Hotspur FC talked highly of the low in stature Henderson-Charnow to coach Harry Redknapp, who has connections with the ambitious Japanese side. The trans-Pacific move might be good for Henderson. His diminutive stature will integrate well with the Hollyhock side. What's next for Mac? Rumor has it that centre forward Eric Dodd of Iowa has been looked at by Polish side Legia Warsaw.....

Jonathan Dachenhaus to Spurs?

From the dirty south to the upper midwest Jonathan Dachenhaus has taken the country by storm. A solid season for the Macalester Scots may have been enough to catch the eye of Harry Redknapp. When asked about his young left back, Macalester head coach Ian Barker said, "I wish that muppet the best of luck across the pond, I just hope Liverpool doesn't thrash him to badly." Jonathan's only comment was to give the credit for his recent success to his teammate Eric "The Mercurial Doddy". "He just brings out the best in me, that happens when you play with people who are better than you", were Jonathan's exact words.
