PPH:
Player like Khalid Hersi. The former Lewiston High star made a splash as the first player from Maine to be signed by the Hearts, earning his spot in a tryout camp. He appeared in front of his hometown fans in the inaugural game, played at Lewiston High but had not played since. Hersi shined in the opening minutes, four times beating defenders in the middle of the field with quick moves and sending long forward passes--to the left, center and right--to create dangerous opportunities. He played 60 minutes, coming out in a mass of substitutions when Portland put most of its regular starters in after Halifax tied it 1-1 on a Tavio Ciccarelli goal. "It was a great opportunity, a great time to showcase myself," said Hersi, who looked comfortable from his first positive touch. "It was a great opportunity, to be honest. I’ll take this any day. It was a great game. Of course it has value. That performance just plays a big impact on me and the way I’m going to look at things."
