Totally agree -
I think that these teams are much stronger than they are given credit for being.
Carolina has beaten everyone they have played including a pre-season ranked Broome and a 4-A school (T-R) and a 3-A school (Berea). They play great defensively and score when opportunity given.
Palmetto is young and strong and hustle! They start 3 FR (goalie is a FR), 2 SO, 5 JR, and only 1 SR. They have beaten two pre-season ranked teams (Pendleton and Broome).
I think it will take a few more games to get people to realize you don't just stick with the same "powerhouse" teams every year without consideration to others. I am not sure how teams are evaluated and ranked, but I don't know that anyone is looking at these two.
Watch out for both of these teams in 2-A playoffs. Coach Larkin (Carolina) and Semach (Palmetto) are doing a great job building programs for the future.
