SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer TOP TEN (Statewide)

sokerfan02, what you say is very true-you cannot judge a team until you have watched them play several games.

OK time for another week's rankings statewide:
1.Irmo ( Just cause they were there last week. almost lost their #1 ranking because of weak schedule)
2.Socastee (just cause they are undefeated, but played weak teams; almost fell in rankings)
3.Dutch Fork (Beat Spring Valley, only loss is to Irmo)
4. South Aiken (big jump, but they played and beat quality teams)
5. Greenville (probably best team in state at end of season, but could not move up with loss to Daniel)
6. Wando (beat weak teams, like Irmo, but a win v. Greenville makes up for a lot)
7. Northwestern (only loss to Irmo, but did not beat Spartanburg badly)
8. Daniel (big win v. Greenville)
9. Bishop England (big drop cause they did not kill a weak Cardinal Newman team)
10. Spring Valley (Has 2 losses v. tough schedule; only lost to #2 Socastee 1-0.)

Are you saying that TL Hanna, Dutch Fork, and Northwestern are weak teams? I know that you may be referring to just last week, but Irmo has beaten every SC team they have faced, and the three aforementioned teams are among the best in the state, of which Irmo has beaten.

Of all of the teams mentioned, Irmo has the toughest schedule hands down. Dutch Fork also plays a very tought schedule. Looking at Socastee's schedule, they should not have a problem with any of those teams, their schedule is very weak.

No, there are defintely not weak, and Irmo kept their #1 ranking. I was only saying that Irmo had a weak schedule last week and others moved up in rankings with tougher schedule..

Why is Cardinal Newman considered a weak team?

I saw the second half of the BE-CN game, BE did very well on set plays, I think 3 of the 4 goals were scored off of them but moving the ball around the field was not as pretty as in the past.
CN field is really small does not let any one move around on it.
I guess the question is why is CN a weak team?
thanks

yea, why do you think cardinal newman is considered a weak team?

Just my opinion....but CN only beat RE(a very weak team) 1-0 in a scrimmage. Who else did they scrimmage? Not much else right now to go on, but maybe you will win some games and become an average to good team.

we were missing quite a few starters, especially in the midfield, as they were still playing basketball

South Aiken only beat RNE 1-0 to. Why are they ranked 4th. Don't get me wrong CN is not the strongest team but we can compete with big schools and not get destroyed.
