If they don't make it maybe we can use give them a trial or at least as practice bodies.

 

Dude, I HAD forgotten C Brown until just now. Thanks a lot!

 

Here's a report about the 18 that are left, mentioning this Castano fellow from Provo High:

The 16-year-old Castano hails from Provo, Utah, and has now made the trek twice in two weeks. A midfielder by trade, Castano said he felt relatively confident at his ability to perform now that he made it past the first round.
"I was thinking maybe I could do this, maybe I can't," Castano said. "I did all I could. I gave my best. I played how I knew how to play. I played my soccer and thought I had a chance. I feel pretty confident. I'm just hoping whatever God wants to do with this but I think I can do this."
Castano, a student at Provo High School, said there may be a family vacation in store if he makes it to the next round. He said he was excited about the possibility of visiting a southern California beach.
For now, though, he said he felt appreciative to have made it this far.
"I'm here today and I'm very thankful," Castano said. "All of this will be worth it. All of the expenses, the times I couldn't sleep because I was doing other things that I had to do to get ready to come here, it all will be worth it."
