Just thought that this might be a pretty good game nobody is talking about since everyone is posting like crazy about NW vs. Irmo.
Think Eastside wins with a late goal
EHS 2
SA 1
Ill take the clubbers 3-2
even without their best player(s) eastside will certainly win, i have seen south aiken too often this season to know that they can not compete for 80 minutes with eastside full squad but maybe now they can for 50 or 60
Just ping it around there haulse!
hOW IS THE WEATHER IN cOLUMBIA? rAINY IN THE uPSTATE
it is a good day for football, that all you need to know
Eastside is goin to walk away with a big win vs South Akien
Eastside 3
South Akien 0
I like this thread better...
Watching this game was like watching JV teams play. I was really surprised.
hands down worst state game ever. But whats the 411 on the player that got hurt from eastside. Is he ok?
A much different team without the Miguel player. How is the fallen Eastside player? Where was the EMS?
Congrats to Coach Waters and the boys!
Interesting game yesterday. I expected to see more flair from Eastside but I guess them missing their best player really told the tale. I thought #17 for South Aiken was the difference in the match. He's a great target and gave EHS fits all day. The goalkeeper for SAHS impressed me too. He's short, but quite a battler. I know South Aiken entered the year pretty highly ranked and had some close decisions during the season, but to lose only once (on PKs) just shows you how solid they were up and down the lineup. Congrats T-Breds! ASC 2-1 CESA.
I thought eastside would win this game for sure.
Just goes to show what a determined group of young men can do.
Thought SA's goalie was excellent. When i first saw him i figured EHS would have a field day but he played very well and proved me wrong.
Also agree that #17 for SA gave EHS some trouble.
Thought Valikones #7 for EHS played very well and will do well at the next level.
EHS should have a field day
i was very unimpressed by them, van pelt is all you have to worry about he a target man, and just that dont let him turn and frustrate 12 and 4 in the middle that all you had to do
their gk was not quality either, dreher and airport both lost in ot 4-3 to this team
this was a very poor state game on a very down 3A year, the quality was such a step up in the 4A game
i hope the upper and lower state teams that represent in the state championship are better in 2010
Props to SA! Taking care of business for the lower state for the first time(correct me if I'm wrong). This was an excellent soccer game. Pinging it around doesn't always work.

South Aiken's only lose this year was in pk's to Airport. Before yesterday's championship game OT games were played against Aiken and Dreher.
Please before you quote the great Zola read what I said dont just aimlessly quote something soccer63
yes i said "Dreher and Airport both lost in ot 4-3 to this team"
look at what i said, i never said dreher and airport beat them, but that at sa stadium they lost in ot
With two teams with records of Dreher 5-13 and Airport 14-10
i would have thought that 9th best team in the country would be able to have their way with sa, but i was wrong
stick to what ever you do in aiken like ride horses or go see the big show at a wwe event, dont quote me and misinterpret what i wrote and try to rephrase it

You stated Dreher and Airport both lost in ot to South Aiken - That is not a correct statement - South Aiken won OT games against Aiken and Dreher but lost in PK's to Airport - nobody tried to aimlessly quote anything.
I have been following Eastside soccer for the past 10 years and even though we had some down years early on and a turnstile of coaches (thanks EHS administration), I don't think I've ever been as disappointed as I was Saturday in Columbia.
The team that fought so hard all year just didn't come to play for whatever reason. Good job by South Aiken for having that affect but I think the heart of the Eagles was ripped out of their chests earlier in the week when Miguel Teos was red carded for an arguably weak call. Was it boots up? I guess so in the referee's eyes. However, it wasn't malicious and there was absolutely no intent to injure anyone. Without the "Maestro" in the middle we looked like a shell of ourselves this weekend. I'm not saying Eastside didn't play hard. Heck, they had to since we were another man short for getting another red card and had to play overtime. That's soccer!
Congratulations to South Aiken on the title. Congrats to Eastside on a fantastic year!
