score?

7-1 AM

ouch

that is ridiculous

Anyone still think that lowerstate is just as competitive as upperstate? I didn't think so

Are still blabbing DCA...

bamberg got wasted.

upstate competitive?

Eastside 6, Daniel 0

the upper state bracket was so bad all the tough games were in the 1st 2 rounds.

it is what it is.

I agree the upstate is weak in all divisions. There are probably less than 5 good teams in the entire upstate. As for Eastside they arte a good team and could compete with the good teams from any state.

I'm talking about 1A not any other divisions.

Yeah and every other divisions upper-state championship games were close except for the 3A one. And the 1A game in the lower state was a blowout too so i dont see how the upper-state brackets are that terrible.

so all we have to do is breakup Wando, west ashley and James Island so instead of the high schools and 6000 students, we'll have 10 schools of 600 each.

go for it.

2a upperstate is much more competitive than 2A lowerstate

DCA - My assumption is that you think because AM won their Lower State Championship game against Bamberg 7 - 1 then all the Lower State 1A teams (except AM) must be weak. Let's move that logic to a couple of other teams. Since CC defeated Buford by a score of 3 - 0, and GSSM defeated Buford by a score of 3 - 0, then CC and GSSM must be pretty even. And since CC has beaten all the other upstate 1A teams, (and AM - wait that causes circular logic - skip that part) and Bamberg beat GSSM, then all the upstate teams must be weak. I sense a flaw in the logic.

That's why we play the games!

Yeah, don't bother with DCA.. The kid is lost. All he ever talks about is how his team is gonna beat CC (never happened) and how the lower state is so terrible. AM would take SCS down as well.

I saw AM play yesterday and they're a decent team, but there's no doubt that we could've beaten them. Not 10 out of 10 times but we could beat them. Coach Cady, give me a break man, that's the worst illustration I've ever heard. Your school sucks at soccer and so does everyone in the lowerstate of 1A except AM. Your second best team got beat 7-1. That's awful!

^ This kid is definately gonna get worked one day for his mouth. Better hope your a senior this year, cause if not someone from lower state just might take you out!

ouch...

dca u talk soo much smack it makes u look and sound stupid....u have no right to say a team sucks....all u are is a shoulda coulda soccer player,all yr iv herd u say "we shoulda beat" them or "we coulda beat them"...well u didnt so get over it, stop talkin,get ready 4 next yr and get da job done so we dont have to hear u say "we shoulda and we coulda" nex yr

One more comment like that and you will be banned from posting.

who will be banned the DCA guy or the dz person

haha, what was that DCA.....Trust me, you don't want none!

we would beat AM any day, at least we scored on them, you guys didnt even score. i sense a flaw in someones logic.

hahahahahahahahaha.......

Someone's feelings are gonna get hurt in a little bit...or maybe someone will get banned

magnet has no right to be saying they are better than us, did they score on CC, NO. did we score on CC, YES. that is all the logic you need to know, it only makes sense that we would beet AM.

Ok, "that is all the logic you need to know, it only makes sense that we would beet AM."... "beet"? What are you going to do? turn us into vegetables, THEN maybe you would have a chance of "beet"ing us? Seriously. You also lost to CC 1-0, but at ya'll lost twice in regulation. We lost both times in post regulation. Just because you scored once on them means nothing. There are three situations for how the 2-1 game could have turned out, and none of them make it justifiable that you could beat us.
A) CC up 2-0, subs in weaker players, SCS pops one in, 2-1
B) CC up 1-0, SCS scores one, making it 1-1, or 0-0, tied up. Just the same as us. But our defense was strong enough to push them into overtime, ya'll lost in regulation.
C) Same as B) except SCS scores first, CC scores second, same situation

Therefore SCSkeep, its is YOU who has faulty logic. If you want me to go into latin fallacies I can, but I have a feeling you wouldn't understand them.
You could even put it this way. In your two games against CC, you played 160 minutes. We were able to push them into 200.
Let the field tell the story.

you still never scored on them during regulation, we did. you guys scored in OT PK's and lost. we would beat you.

You're arguing that your offense can beat our offense. But if you knew how to play soccer, the offense has to beat the DEFENSE to score. Our defense was strong enough to push them into OT. They scored 3 regulation goals on you, you scored 1 regulation goal on them. They scored 0 regulation goals on us. If our defense can stop 3 goals in regulation that ya'll allowed, I'm sure we can stop anything you could bring.

yes, they scored three, but how many did you score; oh yes you scored ZERO!!! even if we didnt score we would beat you in OT. we would score on your defense.

If in regulation, we tied CC, twice, doesn't that mean that in regulation this year we were equal? and CC outscored you 3-1 this year. Therefore, by the law of syllogism, we would outscore you 3-1... But I doubt you know what "syllogism" means.

I was always taught that it didn't really matter cause the seasons over? So why dont yall just go ahead and hit each other or something to settle it

SCSkeeper-
Your posts are so funny. You have no idea if you would beat AMHS. Your assumptions are false b/c you failed to score on CCES on at least one occasion. It is true that we were unable to score on CCES, but anyone who suggests that we did not have chances was not at either game. Both of our games versus CCES were even. They had chances but so did we. How about us hitting the cross bar inside 20 seconds or twice hitting the side netting or the two world class saves the CCES GK made-- one of those was in OT. That was only the state final game. Give me some highlights from your games. Oh wait, none of you highlights came in the state finals though. So give me some of those regular season highlights.

I think you are just frustrated at your inability to beat CCES, and your only outlet is to trash AMHS. We can look at each of our games and realistically see how we could have won both games. However, we cannot comment on any of your games b/c we never saw you play, but on the other hand, you have no right to say anything about us b/c you never saw us play. The only way to settle this is to play. You guys come to us in 2006 and we'll come to you in 2007.

Why don't you try SCISA?

the voice of reason - actually although SCSKEEPER's posts may seem a bit absurd at times, he has some very valid points in which I shall, at this time, reiterate so that you might be able to understand them a bit better. First off, you make a very good opint in your intorduction of your previous post when you point out your lack of ability to score on CC. THank you for pointing that out, because it is in fact very true. SCSKEEPER opinted out that we did score on them. In order to beat a team goals are needed to score. yes we lost, but we did partial the work to getting our win...you guys did not however. With no goals you cannot win a game, in case ya weren't aware of that. Obviously you guys have some sort of solid team in order to hang with them, as well as us, as seen in our scores in the games we played. Your continual repetition of your STATE game is quite humorous, for there is little to no competition in the lowerstate. Congrats - you defeated Bamberg, GSSM, and whoever else is down there, who have little to no significance in 1a soccer, bc they aren't anything special. So, you guys made it to the state finals, WOO HOO!!!! job well done, if you consider that something to brag about. I dare you to play upperstate teams, mainly us in the reg. season, and CC and we'll see where you stand. You are also right in your comment that you can make no comments about our games for you did not attend our games. We had many chances against them as well, and hit the cross bar several times, and the US game did not go our way (with 2 minutes left in the game). Also might I point out to you that 2 of our starters (a striker, and myself) were out in the majority of that game due to injuries. However, SCSKEEPER has you on one point. He HAS seen you play, in the state game. He was there, and he can judge your teams skill, because he observed it first hand. He can make assumptions, unlike you, for he witnessed your amazing, well earned state game, in which you failed to score against CC. Ya gotta score to win man, and for y'all, I guess it just wasn't happenin. Maybe the freshman on our team that DID score on them could run a soccer camp or somethin for your strikers?? just a thought

May I settle this?

Neither of the two teams in question beat Christ Church. Therefore this post is over. Blackville-Hilda rules all.

Having played AM twice this season, and SSC 3 times this season i am able to say that AM is a much better team than is SSC. AM would win 9 of 10 games against SSC.

Also, even though we (CC) had a majority of the play both games against AM they were able to be dangerous and had chances to win the game. Never, not a single moment against SSC was I ever worried that we would not win the game. SSC is the ranked 3rd for a reason.

The only reason im on here is to look at the North/South rosters, AM and SSC listen to the guy who posted previously, the season is over-who cares now.

Just want to add that yes SSC did score on us this season, but if you look back we shutout SSC for the previous 10 times we played yall, i guess once every 10 games or so you get lucky and get a goal

Fletcher, ure gay. Please respond to my comment about how much better than you I would be at soccer if I had've stuck with it. The only thing that you have over me is experience and you know it. Everyone on your team plays soccer, we have like 8 guys that never even played soccer untill high school and we can still hang with you. You aren't all ure cracked up to be. Eastside would take your buttholes and turn them inside out. And I was at the AM game and they are not that good. Our good players are better than they're good players but they're mediocre players are
better than our mediocre players, so it would be a good game and could go either way. Anyways, I'm kinda tired of running around this little circle, constantly argueing with you. I really don't feel like wasting my time on rich d1ckhead little pricks like you. You won, good job, your not that great...other teams would kill you, its kinda sad a team with players who are new to the game can almost beat you. Come to think of it, its really sad...so basically you're not good...and I'm tired and am going to bed. Breeya

Ali, the argument that you scored a goal on them means nothing. We beat Mid-Carolina 11-2, and Hanahan 6-0, but anyone would easily say that Hanahan was by far the better team. Just because you slipped one in means nothing.

haha, dave i'm just messin around

fletcher you are good yes, and you are going to play soccer in college, but so am I. and i am only a junior. how can you say you were never worried, we score 5 min after you scored and then hit the crossbar a few times in the second half, true you did to, but we had you guys scared for a little bit. your coach got so scared he wizzed in his pants after we scored. yes your shot was nice but the goal by our freshman was so much nicer than yours. and we would beat AM, WE SCORED!!!

SCS, get it through your head. You're comparing your offense to our offense, when you should really compare your offense to our defense. WHO CARES if you have a slightly better offense than we do? (But I'm not saying you actually do) What good does it do if you can't get it past the defense? Offense sells tickets, defense wins games. And who cares if a goal is nicer than another. Style doesn't matter! A goal is a goal, no matter how it's scored. If its a bullet from 40 yards out or a slow roller that barely makes it in the net. Or what about this example. We beat Hanahan twice (6-0, 4-0), and Waccamaw twice (3-2, and 4-1). Based on those scores, YOUR LOGIC would assume that Waccamaw would easily win because "they scored." But if you saw, Hanahan won 4-1. Now if you use this as an analogy, where CC is us, Waccamaw is SSC, and Hanahan is AM, I think you get the drift. You cannot say, ya'll WOULD beat us when you have not played us. Why don't you come down and play us next year, and we'll go up and play you in 07?

Once again, SSC is talking about the "shoulda, coulda, woulda's again." You guys are a bunch of clowns. Let it go. If you guys think your so good, then get your coach or ad to call AM or vice-versa and play next year. It's that simple. Talking trash on here does nothing but make people like me laugh at how mad you guys get (VERY FUNNY!!!)

SSC, go ahead and hang it up cause you guys won't beat CC!!! Check back into reality.

DCA, are you gay??? You post some comments that are out their sometimes and seem to have some gay tendencies to them. If so, congrats. Your gay pride day was last week.

funny striker you know when the gay pride day was. Kinda sad actually, and the post that was banned was a joke...get a clue. 2fast4u, get this through your head...you can't win a game without scoring...YOU CANNOT WIN NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR DEFENSE IS UNLESS YOU SCORE!!!!. Its so simple, how do you not see that. Your defense was not good enough to stop CC...yes, good enough to take them to Pks and OT, but still not good enough in OT, AND your offense was not good enough to score to even have a chance at winning. Our defense let 2 slip by, but their defense let us slip one by too. They didn't however let any slip by in your game, therefore you had no chance at winning with NO goals... gosh, such simple concepts...do you not understand.

that was one of my friends. But anyways, I hate all of you and this is a mute point so lets drop it.

It's "moot" DCA. Why don't you guys have a poll on a new thread? That would be interesting. Go ahead and put my vote in for AM.

Massey power ratings should be out soon, and that will not please you guys from SSC.

AM talk to your coach, we would be more than happy to come to your place and beat you. or you can come to our place and we would beat you, that simple.

I'd like to say something on behalf of Bamberg's Soccer Team, I'm a player here. This year, 2005 we were the ONLY, "True" public school left in 1a. Now all of you who are with Southside Christian, Academic Magnet, and Christ Church who say we suck, etc......you can shove it alright. I know that yall recruit and you have a very diverse selection of Good Players. It's easy for yall private/publice school boys to put together a good team and kick butt. Then to say that boys who are at public schools suck, just because they aren't as good as you yuppie private boys! Like I said earlier, shove it.

We're a public school that doesn't recruit (Academic Magnet)

i go to Southside Christian and we do not recruit. the only 1A school that recruits is Christ Church, and that is why they keep winning the state championship every year.

Recruit is a strong and mis-informed word. Teams like AM, CC, and SCS don't recruit but are able to take people outside of their region unlike 1A teams. Though they don't recruit some kids might go their b/c of a certain sport that might not get near as much recognition as their previous school. This could help out with scholarships,etc... Not saying they do that by any means, but there is that option. That's the truth and its plain and simple.

CC does recruit, i am sure of that. they have tried to recruit people from our school.

I'm not going to say that they shouldn't be playing with public schools, because you don't hear any complaints when they're getting beat during football season... People start complaining when they know they will never again have the chance to win.

I say all of the teams just go in a back alley and bring knifes and chains guns and beat the crap outa each other, and whoever loses must be forced to be a private school...and the remaining one will be state champion for the rest of their days

Yes, we are able to take people outside of our attendance area, but how about this for our pitch.....

First, we are not a private school like Christ Church and BE. This is a common misconception. Therefore, the "scholarship" money argument has no basis with us. For the most part, our students have to provide their own transportation.

Second, I do not see our academic requirements at any of the other schools who are recruiting. Here is our recruiting pitch... come to Magnet where you are not only expected to maintain high athletic standards but you are also required to present a senior thesis and pass or you do not graduate. On top of that, you are required to take at least 4 AP classes your senior year. Also, after each year, the school is able to re-examine your benefit to the school. Each student is essentially on a one year contract with the school. If you do not perform to their academic requirements, then you are dismissed from the school and sent to your home school.

Oh yeah, and there are the Algebra 1 and BSAP requirements to even get into Magnet. If after hearing all of that, anyone wants to accuse us of recruiting, you are more than welcome to do so but if the above pitch sounds good to you, then you are more than welcome to leave your home school and come to us.

Coach H --

I've long wondered what the rationale was for allowing BE to compete against public 2A schools. I understand the student enrollment argument, but if ever there was a school that called out to be 3A in soccer, it has to be BE. Injustices abound in life and this is yours to carry. Felicitations to AM for their high level of academic achievement, their excellent soccer programs and their public school affiliation.

Hey VOR, dont forget 90 hours community service, and we're not allowed to fail any English class!

2fast4u - Did you mean English class?

Owned!!!

Oh, I dreadfully regret not capitalizing "English"

Voice of reason,
I understand where you are coming from. I only said that you guys have the option. I was referring more to the CC, BE, SCS. Even though you guys can have people from outside your area, you are a Magnet high school. Your schedule alone is hard enough. If your good at soccer and are that smart then I say go for it but I know that your school doesn't focus on sports and more so academics. The Magnet schools are some of the best schools in the state right under the Gov. School.

Bamberg beat Governors School in the playoffs. We scored in the first 2 minutes.

kind of late to be talking about scores from a game that happened a month ago. way to be on top of things AN21489!!!

I said that because "Striker 33" said --"The Magnet schools are some of the best schools in the state right under the Gov. School."" I meant Bamberg was prob. better than Gov. School and we're public.

AN21489, As one that likes to beat a dead horse, let me just say that Striker 33 was probably talking about the Gov. School being better Academically, not soccer wise. I took his reference to the schedule to mean class schedules not soccer game schedules. Magnet schools and the GSSM have a much more rigorous class schedule than most public schools. Featuring such joys as science labs that don't get over until 5:00 PM and language labs that start after supper.
Just my take on Striker 33's comments.
