What will the score be? How's this game going to turn out?
I say:
NHS-3
Mauldin-1
4-2 NW, Mauldin and Northwestern games are usually scrappy with a lot of physical play by both defenses, but Mauldin usaully gets one or two. NW defense will be key, if they can handle the speed of Mauldin they will have no problem
3-1 nw
close first half but nw opens up in the second.
you gonna be there geoff?
na gotta take care of the kids...be there on sat. for sure. casy will be there though
If Mauldin has an edge in one thing it is probably being more physical. Maybe they will use it to their advantage. And Mauldin does have a very fast forward that could slip by.
Does Mauldin play at the high school?
thanks,

I have to agree that this is not going to be a close game....
It's an upperstate championship game, it will always be much closer than anyone expects. Very scrappy, very physical..
After a tight first half, NW opens it up for a
2-3 goal margin.
GO MAULDIN! Brophy is a great coach and I've watched Mauldin play many times. They have some great players with heart. Hope they take it all the way!
i cna't imagine this will be a close game. i've heard nothing of mauldin all year and i know NW is talented. dont get me wrong mauldin could be amazing and come out with a big win here, but i doubt it.
down went irmo, down went south aiken, down went ft mill, down went hilton head....strange things can and will happen in the playoffs. will it happen to the trojans? they will win but it probably wont be a blowout unless the team that smacked farragut 10-1 shows up.
Mauldin have forwards with speed and ball control if they continue to release the ball quickly instead of hotdogging they will win this game
Mauldin beat Spring Valley earlier in the year so they must be good.
dj and sneed that played for the 87 cesa premier play up top i think for mauldin are sick ..they also have a very talented freshman in the middle that will be great someday this will be closer than most percieve.. my guess is 3-2 mauldin
The "freshman in the middle" is Michael Valencia from the cesa 90 premier team.
Don't forget about David Erhbacher in the defender position for Mauldin - One of the toughest and most tenacious players I've ever watched - Made the All State Team this year!
Yeah, all of those players are going to have to play great to give Mauldin the chance to win this game. Especially David because he holds down the defense but I think they can do it. Mauldin 2-1.
i dont see this as being close, mauldin did not impress me here on senior night even with george rushe not playing the majority of the game. their goal came off a mistake where one of our guys came up to draw them offsides and the didnt time it right. but thats just one game, could be different story tonight. but im gonna go nw 4-1
NW will WIN. No Doubt bout it. Sorry Mauldin but yall will be beaten once again by the new POWERHOUSE in the state. Should be a good game but im callin it 3-0 NW will score 2 in the second half finishin Mauldin off.
2-1 NW, enzo martinez and mitchell gullick scorers for NW. It was very physical (although the only yellow cards were given to Mauldin)...twice a Mauldin player pushed a NW player after a play was over

Northwestern and Mauldin seemed even as far as being physical goes, Mauldin just seemed dirtier. 5 yellow cards I believe, a couple for punches and pushes after the play. They seemed extremely frustrated at times. this was a great game to watch, both teams played well. Mauldin definitely proved themselves in the playoffs this season. Northwestern had two or three shots hit the post, one or two of them were 1 vs. 1 with the keeper.

Only DJ played for the CESA U18 Premier. Sneed did not make the U18 Premier Team. He did play on the U17 Premier team. He played U18 Challenge along with Erhbacher, Klas and C. Valencia. Still all are good players.
