in my opinion the new rankings will look somthing like this:
1. Northwestern
2. Lexington
3. Dutch Fork
4. Wando
5. Irmo
6. Spring Valley
7. Dorman
8. West Ashley
9. Mauldin
10. Summerville
Those are my top 10 after that it is most likely a flip of the coin, with some teams not playing and others loosing two games it is hard to say what the rankings will do that far down.
id say dutch fork should be in front of lexington. spring valley in front of irmo, and finally dorman should be behind mauldin.
I think Summerville will have a hard time this year. From what I saw at The Carolina Classic they were the smallest team out there. Lexington, Wando, and Spring Valley will all be strong this year. It should make for a fun and competitive year in 4A.
I would have put Dutch Fork in front of lexington if it weren't for the 5-1 loss. Spring Valley has issues on and off the field to deal with, but if they can get it together they have the talent to be a very good team.
Was that the Summerville Varsity at the Carolina Classic or Summerville JV?
Is that an insult to Pinewood? We should have won that game. We will be ready for the Palmetto Cup.
It was not meant to be an insult towards PP, but if that was your Varsity team playing Summerville I guess you could take it that way.
can anyone tell me how good dutch fork looks..and their strong players
Hey, maybe the all american they have is good.
all-american,almost anywhere
4 df i think he plays CB
oh thanks.....does anyone know lexington's athletic website? id like to look at their roster.
you can google it. just type in lexington wildcats and you find:
www.lexingtonwildcats.com
hmm Lexington's Osbourn is only a junior? thats good for next year. Is the other keeper any good? Looks like a overall strong team!
Captain of State Club championship team.
Region III ODP player
Adidas ESP Academy participant
All Sate selection 06, etc.
RNE, apparently other people are not in agreemenet with your analysis, maybe you can elaborate???
I wont deny hes a good player but I mean shouldnt he have done something against us last year. I had to guard him and he did absolutely nothing against us, and all of those programs and things you mention are political you just got to know the right people. HEs good but not All American caliber.
Did DF win or did RNE win?
If DF won then he did his job by taking RNE's best defender out of the game
Danny Cates was injured for most of last season, and if i'm not mistaken he scored against yall last season. One more thing, Danny Cates played forward last season for Dutch Fork, his natural position is center back, that's where he plays on the ODP team. Before you go bragging you shut him down, take into account all the facts first.
He was at center mid cuz thats where I play, we played them twice I was injured the second and he scored so before you start saying anything take into account all the facts first.
what were the scores when yall played them last year? Just wondering.
Congradulations to White Knoll for beating up on a bunch of 2A schools and get moved into the top 15 in 4A
yea its tough to beat teams like mid carolina and batesburg leesville
White Knoll boys soccer = Clemson mens basketball???
Maybe, but atleast clemson stayed ranked for awhile, made things interesting for the first part of the season. I doubt White Knoll can do that.
Clemson shouldn't even be brought up because they are unworthy of being mentioned when talking about sports.
i hope thats not coming from a carolina fan because if it is then go look at the records from over the years. wasnt clemson soccer ranked number one in the nation for a lot of this past soccer season. you're right they dont belong on a soccer forum
rne needs to be quiet unless he's an all-american as well he has no right to be bashing cates, the kid is pure quality so man just let it go and do something productive with your time

only a gamecock fan could be such a sore loser..losing to clemson like the way yall did was such a shame
dont bash on whiteknoll .. they are an underdog team every year and they deserve to get some credit for their hard work on the field.
When white knoll beats someone in the top 15 of 4A then maybe they will be given some consideration until then beating up on 2A schools is child's play. White Knoll is a definate pretender at this point of the season.
Credit as in they are beating up on 2A schools? Well congradulations you beat up on 2A schools.
So you are saying that if RNe would have beat Cardinal Newman and South Aiken we would be ranked???????
since we are unferdogs every year and we beat 2 4a teams a private school????????
White Knoll was put on a roller coaster ride before the season even started. I am just glad they have kept their focus.
read my post unferrated kid and try to comprehend what i am saying. i know its tough because i spelled my words right.
Yes white knoll has a daunting schedule ahead of them lets see
Clover (tough)
B&L (again)
Barnwell
B&L (for a third time)
Tough!
kick_ball white knoll plays lexington too .. thats gonna be a tough one for the wildcats.. esp since there defense sucks
Hey real talk this isn't comedy hour. Think about what you are saying come on.
Amazing first post there (real talk) do some research first then come back
yea real talk
please think b4 u post if your post associates you with a team or group.
exuding arrogance isnt the greatest thing
Post deleted by (real talk)
wow
and you play 4 who
lex's results speak for themselves, o unless you consider the forwards that play for wando and spring valley to be no good
real talk real talk its a shame that you have to look like an idiot in front of everybody. youre obviously a pissed off victim to the wildcats stellar and forceful defense. first off jason young is incredibly talented and can take any 5 star foward out of the game man to man when asked. second jess maki and graham howard might be small but they have made some of the best turnovers and stops ive ever seen. they are consistent every game and are a monumentous force to get past. drew howell is a big man and im not sure what game youve watched but he always gets the ball out under pressure. real talk you have not done your research and just talk out of anger... so just dont post any more until you finish your time out
real talk im glad u are smart and can make knowledgable un-biased observations
guys i was just makin a friendly observation ... trying to get some ppl to argue
woa jason young is decent but nothing special he didn't even start for his club team so you might want to get your facts straight, he can't shut down northwestern's attackers or any other good forward
It is true Jason Younge did not start for his club team, in fact at some points Jess Maki and Kevin Orzech did not start for their club team as well.
I was told at the time Maki was rehabing a knee injured at Disney w no play for a couple weeks. Not good enough to start? If that's the kind of garbage in the deleted post I'm glad I missed it.
that is correct, Jess was rehabing from a knee injury (i think MCL sprain) he got at Disney, and that limited his club playing time through out the entire club season. Kevin actually played outside left back for CUFC instead of his normal outside mid or striker position

he shut them down last year in the playoff game against northwestern.. their fowards barely got any shots on goal or really anything going. the only way northwestern scored was on a lucky ball bouncing off a northwestern players head on a throw in
Maximus..
Lexington can't have it both ways..if the set piece against Wando in Mt.P was a great goal then the throw that was the game winner for NW last year was too.
IMOP both were well executed plays.
Who_me..... I agree with your statement.
Futball..
I went back and read the old thread related to the Lex/NW game last year. (about page 25 or so on main index) At the time I thought it was one of the best contests I had seen in a long time, primarily because of the way Lexington attacked defensively in the midfield, not giving Enzo or Kropp any time to build anything. Enzo was amazing that night, but I admit that I am a defensive minded guy, and I was impressed with how well Lex executed. I think that anyone who wasn't at that game and wants to comment about either of these two teams in relation to each other would be well served to go back and read the comments from both sides.
Danie cates is there all american but i think he is over rated he did a good job against irmo but irmos sophmore leo macufsice but the crap out off him to set up kyle huberds goal might i say a nother sophmore to beat df
wow buddy a lucky header bouncing off of someones head. the "lucky kid" who scored was scoring like that all season it was hardly lucky. besides we got the rings on our fingers. this year is a new year so stop talking bout bs from last year tyranius
White Knoll proved my point for me last night. Losing 1-0 to a ben lippen team that lost 8-0 to an ok irmo squad. this could be an indication of how they do not come close to matching up with the elite in 4A.
last night RNE played Dutch Fork, DF won 3-0 they played well. We had our chances but couldnt finish but they refused to shake our hands after the game very unsportmanlike...and I stick with my opinion Danny Cates is solid but over rated
RNEsoccer19,
RNE is probaqbly the dirtiest team DF has faced. As for unsportsmanlike, after the foul by your player 5 minutes before the end that should have been a straight red, the coaches felt like there might be problems with any kind of interaction with your team. You had all of 3 chances the entire night. No one, including you should have an opinion about anyone on DF. You are not qualified. I believe you must have been the one sitting on your rear on one of the few times Danny went on a run up top. You looked pretty silly sitting on your rear while he dribbled by you. Maybe you and your boys should learn to play just a little before you bust other people. Good luck with your year, I am sure you might win another couple of games.
RCates, Act like an adult and keep your mouth shut. I understand that you area Danny Cates' father but get over yourself! It isn't worth looking like a fool arguing with an adolescent...
Plus if you want to rip on people....try this. When the SC ODP beats our IL ODP squad I will be impressed.... so there!
(note the sarcasm, I don't want to get blasted for injecting sarcasm into this forum)
...and might I interject that of the two, the adolescent had by far the more mature and sportsmanlike post. Just an outside observation from someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight.
I support mr. cates here all the way. i have friends on df and every single one of them i have talked to said rne was pathetically dirty. DF worked the ball around RNE embarrassing them and after frustration set in rne didnt even try to play but just hacked. some of the df players said that was the first time they had second thoughts about going into a challenge due to their safety. For the record i hope RNE now shuts up, you got handled by the first good team you've played this year. go get better instead of wasting your time posting on a message board.
Irmo is up to #2 in the state, for all the negative speculation about them this is very interesting. It seems that Phil Savitz is doing another wonder job with his team.
