SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer 2007 Best HS Teams

Well I saw that they we're discussing it in the Girl's forum so I decided to ask about the boy's side:

4A
Dutch Fork
Northwestern
Spring Valley

3A
Riverside
Greenville


Would like to see everyone else's thoughts...

Daniel is always a contender in 3A as long as Seth Kulesekara (sp?) is on the field.

I've heard DF is young this year. They do have a solid keeper, but do they really have any one to help Danny Cates on the field?

how would people rank SCISA teams this year?

Dutch Fork is in no way young. yes they have exceptional goal keeping but they have a core group of seniors such as Ryan Martin, Carey Hite, Michael Sullivan, Stephen Shuford, Robbie Birnie, Brian Wedell (if healthy)and Jason McCabe in goal that have all been playing together since they were 11 at CSC (now CUFC). There are several other seniors but these are the seniors who contribute the most. If Dutch Fork cannot put together a championship caliber season this year, it could be a while before the oppurtunity presents itself again.

Thanks for that clarification, I had no idea how DF was truly going to be, everything I heard about them was that they were young, and that Danny Cates is overrated. I've heard that Cates is a great player, but i've never really seen him play very well. Im sure he is a great player or else he wouldn't have made it to the All-American standard.

In numerical order

4A
1 Wando
2 SV
3 Northwestern
4 Lexington
5 Mauldin/Irmo/Fort Mill

3A

1 Riverside
2 Daniel
3 BC
4 Dreher
5 Greenville

2A

1 BE
2 Emerald
3 Wahalla

1A

1 Christ Church
2 AM
3 Lincoln

SCISA

1 Pinewood as usual

Finkle:
In the lower state it will be PP and PG, and I'll go with PP.

As I've heard someone very close to one of the upper state teams say, they are going to really be fighting to win the region to avoid PP until the championship game. With that said, CN and Hammond will battle for the region, and BL, HH and WH will battle for the other 2 playoff spots.

Top 5:
Pinewood
Cardinal Newman
Hammond
Porter Gaud
Ben Lippen

the beasts from the North, as in Northwestern, will be back. they have one or 2 good players returning and their jv gave up one goal last year,that's right, 1 goal. if i remember correctly they are still the champs until someone takes away their crown. they may start slow but will be there at the end. 5 of their starters come from the dsc u-16 state champions. they will be solid and will score goals in bunches. ft mill will also be in the hunt as they have a solid nucleus returning and the yellow jackets will be hungry.

What about 3A teams and 2A teams...whos returning talent?
