MPSA Crush recognizes the ENVY FC of Northville, Michigan, and specifically the
Northville SA ENVY 16-B Orange team and Coaches Kirk Rylance and Nicholas
Scarsella, and manager Daniel Ferrara AND Coaches Scott Bartkowiak, Patrick
Gannon, Andrew Suda, and the Novi Parks SC 15 Lightning Gold team.
MPSA Crush coach Andy Sadler suddenly passed away on October 23. Andy coached
a number of teams and over the next few days many his opposing coaches reached out
to offer condolences and support. Andy would have wanted the games to continue and
they did.
In the match pitting 2016 ASB side at the ENVY 16-B Orange team, the Northville boys
wore armbands with AS and gifted them to the Crush players after the game. Coach
Rylance met Andy the week before while he was waiting for his game on a field where
Andy was coaching. He said his club and team wanted to honor Andy because he was
a great coach and loved the sport and it was important to teach values that go beyond
the scoreboard.
Novi Parks SC 15 Lightning Gold hosted the 2015 ASB team on Sunday, they had a
moment of silence before the game to honor Andy and shared their memories about
him.
Thank you to the ENVY FC and Northville Parks SC who exemplified class,
compassion, and what soccer is all about.

What should one do after a very competitive 4 v 4 WSSL game pitting the 2017 PWG team against the 2017 ANG MPSA Crush teams?
Celebrate with pizza and popsicles! That is how Crush rolls.
Here are the teams enjoying the aforementioned pizza and popsicles, and some siblings, mugging for the camera and enjoying a reward for playing the beautiful game.
As always, thanks to our wonderful and supportive parents who rooted for both teams and celebrated their achievements on the pitch.
