Why did the Bridge teams choose not to play Fall State Cup?

I'm speculating.

These 2 teams played up a year for the increased competition during the fall season. A team/player can only play in 1 state cup for the year. So, they are going to most likely play at age in the spring. Given the results from playing up, the chances are they will be looking for state titles and RIII spots. However, with the dynamics of the academy program on the boys team, it will be interesting to see how that unfolds.

Bridge 93 were among three girls' teams that played up to U15 in league play but did not play U15 state cup. The other 2 are Columbia United Elite 93 and CESA Premier 93. I suspect you will see all 3 of these teams in the U14 Challenge Cup in May. Bridge and CUFC qualified for the R3PL this spring. CESA played U15 R3PL in the fall. I wonder if they will play in the U14 R3PL as well.

It would also be interesting to see how many of those Final Four teams are R3PL teams and how many of those come from CESA and CUFC. I would suspect most all of them do.



On the girls' side, 7 of the 16 final four teams played R3PL. 5 are CESA and 2 are CUFC.

Interesting breakdown of the clubs with teams in the final four:

CESA - 12
CUFC - 8
Bridge - 3
FSCG - 2
LCSC - 2
CUSC - 1
CFC - 1




I think you missed 3 teams in the final 4. There should be 32. Here's what I got:
CESA - 12
Columbia United - 8
BridgeFA - 3
Lexington - 2
Foothills - 2
Discoveries - 1
Mt Pleasant- 1
Charleston United - 1
Carolina FC - 1
North Augusta - 1

...it's pretty clear that there are two dominant clubs in the state....



I think Bridge still has to be considered among the top clubs in the state. The fact that no boys' U16-U18 Bridge teams are in the final 4 was to be expected considering their membership in the USSF Academy. But if by "in the state" you mean "in SCYSA", I would agree with you.
