The AAAA Upperstate championship will consist of two very good teams (Maudin - Northwestern)
What are everyones predictions and thoughts about the game? Will NW be able to make it to the State Finals for the fourth straight year or will Mauldin play as the spoiler?
I'm with you for some reason I sense a potential upset that Mauldin can bring. They are a very talented squad with great skill. Hope Northwestern doesn't overlook them but again NW is also a very talented team and if they were to win that says so much about the program for being in the Finals back to back to back years in a row and so forth.
playing on the mauldin field is a definite advantage for the mustangs. the field is narrow and really sloped on the sides. there r places without grass. the field will help but not enough. 3-1 trojans. as for the other half, irmo has too much firepower for wando. 4-2 irmo.
i think that the mavs superb coaching might just be a factor here.
I know both coaches personally and they both do an incredible job. Siatkowski was awarded Region II AAAA coach this year, so he obviously has some coaching skill. Shearn has done an amazing job coaching at CESA and did wonders with the Southside Christian team, and is also impacting Mauldin significantly. So much for always being right fool...it sucks to be ignorant doesn't it? You sound like an old man who is caught up in his old high school soccer days and can't let them go..get a life and stop insulting other coaches. Have a nice day.
Not sure what word you would use to rank above superb, but the NHS coach might be entitled to use it. A few state championships along with a pair of "National Championships" would at least make him "superb". Do not think out coaching him will be the difference in the game, and I would not pin my hopes on it.
Always Right,
I dont know where you got my name from but Joe Siatkowski is the coach for mauldin. He's doing a great job with the boys. He lets me come watch games from his bench because we are friends. I think Coach Siatkowski and Mauldin will make this a good game. Coach Dom is a great coach and will have northwestern ready play. If both teams play their best soccer this will be one of the best games in the upstate this season.
Always,

Both are great teams and have had great seasons. Both are known for having excellent programs and, especially Northwestern, producing good lads who have played at the next level. Should be a great game and I wish I was in the Greenville area tonight to watch! Mauldin has had some "awkward" or "iffy" losses this season to Christ Church and Boiling Springs, no disrespect to either squads, just saying they are not on the same par as NW. NW has great leadership in Dennis, great creativity in Alex and amazing goalscoring threats with them and Ricky. Having lost last season in the 4A Quarterfinals to Northwestern 5-0, Mauldin will be hungry for revenge and play much better. Should be a tight and close game for much of it, but NW offense is too strong and will break down that Mauldin defense.
Prediction: NW 4 - 2 Mauldin
Point well taken sG and I completely agree. Just trying to fire up the Mauldin boys so they can go out and play a good hard fought and FAIR game. Was this game moved to Wednesday night by the way?
Way to go VOR...maybe this time is the charm! Best of luck!!!
