elcid, im not much a fan of 3A, 2A, or 1A i enjoy the competition of 4A as well as you do but u shouldnt make teams lower than 4A seem so crummy...alot of 3A 2A and 1A teams have good talent and u say they cant hang with "4A powerhouses"? lets c Riverside(3A) beat Irmo (THE 4A CHAMPIONS!!), Irmo beat Chapin(2A) 2-1 in a close match, Northwestern lost to Chapin(2A) (NW's only lost in the reg. season to a 2A team!), Northwestern beat A.C. Flora(3A) in a close match, SV beat West Florence(3A) in PKs, SV beat Christ Church(1A) in OT, Wando tied Bishop England(2A) in a preseason game. So it looks like it 2 me that 3A, 2A, and 1A teams can hang with the "4A powerhouses". So maybe you should reconsider ur bad opinions about teams below 4A...
