Belligerent,

You are right that having Charlotte to the north is a "draw" for the competitive player. It works for the girls but doesn't work for the boys after U-14 (HS conflict). However, how far does Bridge FA have to spread it's wings before it takes in eight 4A high schools? In a year or two, York County will have seven 4A high schools. Lancaster (4A) is another 30 minutes down Hwy 521. Smack in between Fort Mill and Lancaster is Indian Land, currently a 1A school but ready to explode. The Indian Land school district borders one of the most desireable areas of South Charlotte and they are building houses like crazy. Does this provide enough "quantity" with which to create "quality"? (Is it big enough????)

Also, you are telling swim that Mt. Pleasant's competitive program is dead.....what happenend? Didn't they have an incredibly successful girls team a few years back (I believe they are mostly juniors in college now)? Has that ship sailed for the last time?

Biggest EGO in SC is right in s'ville.

The last two well known, successful girls teams from Mt. P were the (Lady) Ice and the Fury. The girls from the Ice were mostly members of Wando's state championship team in 2004 and are now indeed juniors in college (the team featured Kelly McGinty from CofC, Lou Hudson from Clemson and CofC, Greta Hewitt of Newberry, and others who decided against playing in college). The Fury girls are either seniors in college or just graduated last year.

The Impulse (year younger than Ice) was mildly successful with a bunch of state finalist placings and decent records in Premier League, but never placed first or made it to regionals. I'm not sure about beyond them, but the end of Ice's reign heralded the success of Greenville Futbol Club's U18G team (that at points played both Lindsey and Hailey Beam, I believe) and the Impulse lost players to Andy Grist's Carolina Girls U17 team (featuring Danielle Jordan of CofC, now a sophomore?).

At any rate, those are the last truly successful MPSC girls team that I've heard of or from and all three (Impulse, Ice, and Fury) were originally Hungryneck Soccer Club teams. Any others from younger teams and you have to ask someone else.

Thanks kitten. I couldn't remember the Ice's name. A few years back Mt. Pleasant had another strong girls team, they would be U-15 (HS freshmen) right now. They must have split up....where are those girls at now?

swimmer2....OUCH!!!

They'd be what, 91 or 92?

I can't find even a coach's listing on the MPSC website for either girls' team (or an 89 or 90 girls, for that matter)...I guess there either weren't enough girls or there were, but they all went to play for Bridge or the whole team did. I mostly know all the coaches listed for MPSC and I don't see any missing at the moment.

Anyone else know more than this?

A majority of them played U15 with the Bridge last season. One of the Hilton Head girls from that team played for CESA this past season. The old MPSC team was the Conquest.

Ah, thanks!

On the girl's side - MPSC had U17 team in RIII Premier League that had a rough season and did not win a game or score a goal in league play. I believe they lost some players to CESA during the season.

The Conquest won back to back state championships at U12 and U13 if I am not mistaken and I believe most of them are now with Bridge.

So what are the options for girls in Mt. Pleasant? From scanning Hotstat et, al it seems like there are only one or two challenge-level girls teams in the entire club.

92 and 93 Bridge teams are loaded with Mt Pleasant girls....so start with the 94 and 95 teams..those would be your next groups to watch
