Great game...refs weren't real sharp either way

4/8

Bluffton 11 vs. N. Charleston 0

I had the pleasure of going to the Irmo/Chapin game tonight, and let me say that this was one of the most exciting, intense matches I have witnessed in a while. Both teams played with extreme effort, and the game atmosphere was just fun to be a part of. Anyways for a brief synopsis of the game, from my eyes:

1st Half:
The first half was controlled primarily by Irmo. They did a great job of possessing the ball and created a ton of goal-scoring opportunities; however, they were unable to capitalize. Kyle McEwan had an absolute laser of a shot that must have gone about 8 inches too high. Chapin played solid defensively for the most part, although they did give up too many deep throws and corners. Yet the emotion was there on both sides.
Score at the half: Irmo 0 Chapin 0

2nd Half:
Very different feel to the game in this half. Chapin got their act together and did a very good job of controlling the midfield. They generated a few good chances yet really couldn't get a clean strike on the ball. Irmo's defense played better than I have seen them play all year, by a long shot. Joey DeMare was almost completely neutralized by #3 (Hubbard?). He was on him tight the entire match, really did a good job. The half was very back and forth, emotions running very high, so there were a few cards going back and forth. There was one moment where a brawl almost broke out after Jugal Dalal (Irmo) got seemingly tackled by David Slaughter.
Irmo capitalized finally at the 78' minute mark. On a quick counter attack, McEwan received the ball near midfield, carried it for about ten yards and slid it through to a streaking Taylor Varney. Varney got behind the defense, and touched the ball around Greg DeMare and tucked it in. The rest of the game was basically Irmo holding the ball in the corner trying to run out the clock. A Chapin player, can't remember who at the moment, did receive a red card in the final minute for a pretty malicious tackle.
Final Score: Irmo 1 Chapin 0

Overall, a great rivalry game with tremendous heart and effort displayed by both teams. Good luck to both teams the rest of the season.

Spring Valley over Lower Richland 12 (maybe 13) - 0

These are difficult games to watch. SV certainly did what it could to keep the score down. LR played hard the entire game and with a lot of class. There may have been a total of three or four fouls called in the entire game. To not get frustrated and start whacking people is a credit to the players and their coaches. Kudos to LR for getting out there, playing fairly and playing hard. They kept their heads up and should be proud of themselves.

ARE YOU SERIOUS????

Thats ridiculous....

Maybe teams should be put in divisions by their win/loss records and distance to one another..Just because a school is not 4A size does not mean they can't year in and out play at that level..Pinewood and B.E. have no problem fielding strong teams..I am sure the players,parents and coaches would appreciate more competitive games and maybe scores like that would be less frequent

thats a great idea

Yea agreed

so now we can relegate schools ala EPL? Cool.

the only problem with that idea is that it cannot be done across the boards. and knowing the high school league, soccer won't get to be special.

why not? Let the cream rise to the top..It might stop some of these silly scores where no one really wins

The SCHSL can't even understand how ties work, how in the world are they going to keep up with an EPL format?? Personally, i think it's an awesome idea, but the MLS doesnt even do it, so by the time we get that, refs will get assessed on every performance...........right, and gas is going back under 2 dollars in the future

divisions should be made up by caliber of teams...not by how many students attend a school..I guess I could by into the size of school if every student came out for soccer..

make up game from March

Hillcrest Boiling Springs match out of control, refs could not bring it back once it was out of their control. Had to eject one Hillcrest player and card the coach later after his kid shoved a player from the rear. Whistle and cards work better if they are done before the game is out of control. 2 - 3 as High Flyer said.

Great job by the officials. Couple missed calls, some good no calls, but overall they were pretty invisible.

19-0?

are these kind of scores necessary?
you would think that emerald's coach would use a game like that to let unexperienced players play/work on posession, etc. instead of unnecessarily running the score up

Pendleton 1
Westside 5

Was a 1-1 game, then 2-1 at the half. Westside pulled away in the 2nd half.

I have him at 37 goals, 8 assists.

Ok thanks coach!

Emerald had to make up for choking out in the Palmetto Cup!!!

Spartanburg 1 @ Greenwood 3

The stats...which could be wrong, said that one player for emerald had 3 goals and everyone else who scored had 2 or less. So maybe they WERE letting the youngsters play and Newberry is just not good at all

Forfeit. They also forfeited to Wando. So I had my AD try to call and see if they were going to forfeit against us. He called and emailed all week and never spoke to anyone or had anyone reply. Last night they just don't show up at JI. Officials are there, teams are there, food is cooked and in the concession stand. No call from them. Nothing.

Palmetto 9 - Ware Shoals 1
Thursday, April 10, 6:00 PM at Ware Shoals

Goals: Palmetto - #1 Ignacio (3), #100 Henderson (2), #6 Jones, #11 Whiten, #17 Bertran, #19 Herrmann
Ware Shoals: #7 (Penalty Kick)

Assists: Palmetto - #14 Roberts, #17 Bertran

Ware Shoals plays on a very small time (old U-10 field) which caused some difficulty to the Palmetto players in the beginning. Too long of crosses, Too hard touches, and Too bunched up to set up offense. Also, Palmetto was down three players due to conflict in Track and Field schedule and the other players did not come ready to play, thinking that Ware Shoals would roll over. Give WS credit, they played hard and were in the match for about 20 minutes of the first half. Add that to an official who seemed intent on helping the lesser team with every whistle he blew (often and always against the favored team), it added up to a half time score of 3-1.

The second half was much different. With subbing younger players who seemed as if they were more than ready to play and play with intensity. And with the now "whistle-happy" official on the opposite end of the field away from the Mustang offense, Palmetto ran away with the match - scoring 6 unanswered goals in the period and winning with a final score of 9-1.

Perhaps this was a wake-up call for the Mustangs in the first half. They certainly can play with anyone as seen in their matches this year, but at times seem to play up or down to their competition when it is not quite as good.

Look for the Mustangs to make some noise in the playoffs this year!

That's about right for O-W. If they're not going to value the sport, then don't offer it.

There should be some type of punishment rule for a team that just does not show up. Maybe a large fine. I can see having to cancel but to not call at all is just poor sportmanship on their part.

It should be more about professionalism in running an athletics program than about valuing an individual sport, at any rate.

I agree it should be more about professionalism. That is very unprofessional, not to call or respond to calls. That program needs to get a kick in the butt or just drop it period!

(S. Effingham forfeited prior to kick-off.)

S. Effinham did not forfeit prior to kickoff. They called in morning to say they had playoff game and could not make game. Begs to question, why would you schedule a game if there is a chance you may be in PLAYOFFS?
