There is a vast gap between AA and AAA soccer. Not only in the girls but in the boys. But it is an even greater gap in the girls.
As far as AA girls goes, Beaufort Academy is probably the favorite right now. They already have a win over a ranked Porter Gaud squad.
As far as AAA girls goes, Pinewood is definitely the favorite. They have wins over all of the top 5 schools including 3-1 at Cardinal Newman and 6-2 over Hilton Head Prep early in the season. We will get to learn more next week as Pinewood has to travel to Hilton Head Prep for the rematch.
Even though Hilton Head Prep is quite a bit down from the last few seasons, they are still the three-time defending state champions and will be a very tough out come playoff time as they might have the best player in SCISA in sophomore midfielder Kathleen Blum. She was last years AAA player of the year.
The top four teams seem to be ahead of everyone else with Pinewood on top, followed by Cardinal Newman, Hilton Head Christian and Hilton Head Prep in any order.
