9 am, though? Really gang?

Nice introductory article overall about Ballard FC. Perhaps the most interesting new tidbit is that the Sounders are apparently tracking Stas:

> The unquestioned star of the team is a 22-year-old forward named Stas Korzeniowski, who is going to be a senior at Penn this year and is coming off an 11-goal, seven-assist campaign for the Quakers in 2022. He scored 19 goals during the entire USL2 campaign, including six in the playoffs. He didn’t win the Golden Boot, which is awarded on regular-season goals, but he did lead the league in goals across all competitions. Among his playoff goals were a hat trick in the Western Conference final and a goal in the National Final, a game he played much of with a bandaged head before being ejected late. He’s listed at 6-foot-4 and 194 pounds, so he has some attractive physical attributes. The Sounders have definitely been watching him, even if there are still some questions about how his skillset will translate to the pro level.

Up the Bridges!
