    AC St. Louis:
    Luke Kreamalmeyer
    Chad Becker
    Jack Traynor
    Steve Ralston
    (briefly)
    Mike Ambersley
    Tim Velten
    Zach Bauer


    And another that's considered a local by
    the large Bosnian community: Elvir Kafedzic

    So we had 6-8 depending on who you count as a local. I would consider it 6.

    Elvir's lived in St. Louis since 1999, when he was 18. I'd count him as local.

    There's also AC's coach, Dale Schilly, who'd never coached in the pro ranks before but finished with a respectable 5-8-7 record in league games in his first season.

    Miami FC had a few local guys this past year:

    Stefan Jerome
    Steven Cabas

    Head Coach Daryl Shore went to High School about 20 minutes from Lockhart Stadium.

    Brian Shriver and J.P. Rodrigues are from the Tampa area.

    Only hometown player we have left is Caleb Norkus. He's barely a member at this point though. His wife (who sings the national anthem most games) gets on the field more than he does.

    One interesting point is that we could have had so many more.

    We will next season.

    With Schilly coaching...I'd wager he gets mostly local players.
