curse, maybe on u. before coach f, northwestern had only been to upper state finals 1 time in school history, one time. in his 3 years there they make state finals twice and upperstate the 3rd year with 2 senior starters. he is a real coach and so is the current nw coach. curse, i hardly think so. the first year, irmo was better and the second as trojan 10 said they got screwed. this year we will see. by the way their jv the last 3 years has only lost 2 games and this years team was undefeated and only gave up 2 goals. they'll be back next year. strength of schedule what a joke! none of the players had anything to do with their schedule, they just showed up an won. in the playoffs, they went to greenwood, lexington, and mauldin and won, all on the road. who else had to do that? who else had to do that and advanced? and your answer is.....exactly, no one else. give it a rest, they are good and may be the best in the state. the final chapter will be written tonight.
