It looks like Greer girls folded their team. They forfeited against Wade Hampton last night and don’t plan on playing Blue Ridge. It’s sad to see a team collapse like this, but losing most every game by 7 to 17 goals, you can see why the girls got discouraged. This begs the question, what can we do to help teams like Greer progress to a competitive level?

Greer has several club players as I understand who are not playing on the girls team. Thats one thing that would help. The other problem is our region which is brutal. Next year, Greer moves into a region without Eastside, J.L. Mann and Riverside. That should help considerably.

The Greer girls are great kids. Nice as they can be. The had early injuries and they never stopped. I think they got down below 11 for the Wade Hampton game and that was it. Remember, up until their last game they had a hypothical chance to get in the playoffs. My daughter is friends with almost all of them even though they are our biggest rival, and they were chatting and talking right after the game. They went out together Saturday night.

They have a fine school, wonderful young ladies who play soccer, and they'll regroup and be fine in my opinion.

They won't even get out of the upstate. Mauldin only graduates two seniors this year.




I don't think Mauldin will be the one to be worried about. Dorman seems to be in a class above the rest.

From Wednesday 4/16:
Blue Ridge 12-0 over Greer. No wonder ROH never posted this score!




Aren't you the boys coach? The guy who left the girls to coach the boys? Man, 6-8 isn't bad but you picked a bad year to leave!

Dale,
Dorman and Mauldin have played 180 minutes of soccer against each other this season. The only thing separating them is PK's. I don't think they are in a class by themselves.

ms,

Dorman is undefeated in region play. Mauldin has 3 losses. Lot more than pk's separating them.

Two of those loses were on PK's to Dorman and the other a one goal loss Spartanburg. Mauldin is getting stronger and will be a force in the play-offs. If both teams go far enough they will face each other again.

R O H,

1... According to the 2008-2010 realignment info at http://www.schsl.org/2007/Realignment%202008-10.htm Blue Ridge, Greer and Union County move to Region III-AAA along WITH Riverside. Is there other info available that shows Riverside not playing next year in the same region as Greer?

2... Did Greer have 11 for the match this week with Blue Ridge? Do you know if the forfeitures of their final two matches (Blue Ridge and Wade Hampton) are due to injuries and insufficient numbers rather than just avoiding the challenge of the final two matches? I share mav soccer's concern for finding ways to help Greer become more competitive, but Greer has never seemed to be a team that measured the odds of winning to determine whether or not to step onto the pitch.
