Lucas Rodriguez Signs with Missouri Comets of the MISL

S&E Entertainment client Lucas Rodriguez has signed a contract to play professional indoor soccer with the Missouri Comets of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL).

The Comets are a new expansion team in the MISL, based in Kansas City Missouri. The Comets will be the sixth team in the MISL, joining Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Monterrey (Mexico) and Rockford, Ill.

The original Kansas City Comets also played in the MISL and took the metro area by storm in the early 1980s. Hope are that the new team will rekindle the love affair a city had with a team that featured players like Enzo DiPede, Gino Schiraldi and Kim Roentved. The new Missouri Comets will play 12 home games at the Events Center beginning Nov. 12, and will celebrate the past history of the Comets while bringing a new, up-to-date team to its new home in Independence.”

Chase Harrison Signs with the Columbus Crew


“Days after goalkeeper William Hesmer fractured his shoulder in the Crew's season finale, the Columbus Crew announced on Tuesday the signing of goalkeeper Chase Harrison to a short-term contract.

The 26-year-old stopper will remain with the club through the duration of the playoffs and will serve as a backup to Andy Gruenebaum, who is set to start in goal against the Colorado Rapids on Thursday (9 p.m. ET; TV: ESPN2, ESPN Deportes).

Harrison, a graduate of Virginia Tech, was drafted No. 26 overall in the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft by Real Salt Lake. Though he never saw the field with RSL, he has traveled throughout the lower divisions extensively, most notably appearing for the Harrisburg City Islanders, the Rochester Rhinos and the Portland Timbers.

He was most recently called up by D.C. United to understudy Troy Perkins in DC's league match against Toronto FC on Sept. 9”

Mike Ambersley Interviewed by Floodplain Footy

S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley was recently interviewed by A.C. St. Louis supporters group The Floodplain Footy.


Read the full interview here: Floodplain Footy


A few excerpts from the article:


"The inaugural season for AC St.Louis is over now and the team definitely had it’s ups and downs on the field and off. There were a few bright spots for the team, that’s for sure,  and one of them was Forward Mike Ambersley. Mike recorded the teams first hat trick, was named the USSF Div II Player of the Month for July and ended the season among the division leaders in goals scored with 9, a personal best for his professional career. He was also awarded the St.Louligan 2010 Offensive Player of The Year Award, which was presented by us here at the Floodplain Footy."


"FPF: Besides your hat trick, what was the highlight of the season?
MA: I would have to say advancing to the third round and having the opportunity to play the Galaxy in the Open Cup was pretty special for our team."

Mike Ambersley Wins Supporter's Offensive Player of the Year

S&E Entertainment client Mike Ambersley has been honored by the A.C. St. Louis supporters group, the St. Louligans as their Offensive Player of the Year.


"If you missed the last game, you missed the first annual St. Louligan awards. Over the course of the last several home games we took an unscientific poll at the tailgate parties and elected our players of the year. We decided that the players had given so much to us over the course of the season that we wanted to reward a few of them. So, even though it was "fan appreciation" day at AB Soccer Park- we decided to celebrate our special day by appreciating our team. A few of us talked online and worked to get some sponsors to pay for the awards and we made a few phone calls to get on the program. Without further ado, I present our award winners."


"Offensive player of the year was a near unanimous decision. Mike Ambersley embodied the offense and killer instinct of our first year. He won a special place in our hearts early this season when he scored a killer goal in Portland and mocked their crowd with a little Lumberjack dance of his own. That's how the St. Louligans like it. Great to score, but even better to taunt your victims. Floodplain Footy's Steve Rusnack and Nik Cameron presented Mike with the award. "
