It is difficult sometimes for Charleston area teams, especially small schools, to get games with quality local competition. 4A Regions have agreements with "sister" regions that their non-region games will be filled with teams from the other Region. In years past, this agreement completed the 16 game schedule. This meant that the soccer coach got to schedule his preseason games and tournaments.

From what I understand, this rule has been relaxed a bit to allow 4A teams to schedule 1-2 regular games. Please correct me if I am wrong. We have been lucky enough to play Fort Dorchester and West Ashley in the regular season in years past. We are also lucky to play James Island along with the aforementioned teams in the preseason.
