All "tainted" except for the two that did not have a coach present...Hillcrest and Fort Mill. They made it on their own........ unless they too fall into the other large subset of the list... the CESA connection.

Again, the coaches present at the meeting voted for the players that they were most familiar with. Hillcrest as a member of Region 2 and Fort Mill as a member of Region 3 HAD representation at the meeting.
The biggest problem is that the coaches most familiar with the Columbia girls simply didn't bother to show up. This is a very sad statement when they were local and the out of town coaches made the effort on behalf of their regions.
