West Florence 10 Hartsville 0

I really wish Region VI would provide these girls with a challenge. These blowouts doesn't do anything in prepartion for the playoffs or the development of the girls.

If you play in a weak region then schedule harder out of region matches. Myrtle Beach, Waccamaw, Spring Valley are all quality sides and participation in the airport tournament will help, but all out of region games should probably be scheduled with the intent of playing playoff caliber teams.

I agree....our region at Barnwell is not very tough...therefore I try to schedule my out of conference games against teams that are ranked in 2A or 3A...I want my team to get some competition so that they are prepared for the playoffs...you can't do anything about your region but you can do something about the out of conference

4/20: Hanahana v. Coastal Christian 9-0
4/21: Hanahan v. Burke 4-0

Both wins!!!!

This makes us 8-3-0

Rock Hill dominates field of play but not scoreboard.

Lancaster 1
Rock Hill 0

Beaufort lost to Summerville in PK's on 4/20

4/21 Beaufort 1, Ft Dorchester 0

Beaufort has a record this season of 8-2-0 after ending their season last year 6-11-0

Beaufort has wins over James Island, Stratford and Ft Dorchester and took Summerville to PK's.

I'm curious as to what's different this year. Anyone know?

Coach Chass: I told you how coaches love those track stars playing soccer. Just imagine if she was a soccer player that happened to be a track star.

That's the scary part, though...she's that fast AND she's got skills.

That's great news for girls soccer.

Hilton Head High 2
Hilton Head Prep 1

A very good soccer match. Very well played from end to end. As good as I have seen Hilton Head Prep play all season.

Was that HHI/HHP game played today or last night?

I'm in Hilton Head right now! Very upset if I missed it!!!!

At James Island:

JI 5
Berkeley 0

Apparently left our game on the bus when we got off...played the first half flatter than burnt pancakes. JI had a flat-out track star who broke away for three goals before we figured out which end of the field we were defending.

So who is going to develop this "budding superstar"? Who is bidding for her services? CESA, SCUFC, CUFC, SSC, MPSC, DIYSA, Bridge FA, Cainhoy?

Somebody......reach out to this young lady. With so many potential suitors, this young lady should not have to pay a dime!

Taylor Sanders played for me on a U17 team at James Island last fall.

I apologize for leaving out JI.

Apparently you have done a great job with her.

Congrats!

Lady Raiders still struggling to find the net more often after creating many excellent opportunities, hitting the crossbar, post and shooting right at the keeper.

Nation Ford 5
York 2

Hillcrest vs Byrnes??? Anyone?

ROH,
I'm not losing my touch, there are a lot of teams who fail to update their schedules. Before I hit the road, I checked the HHIHS schedule posted on this site and there was no evidence of a match being played yesterday afternoon. I would have loved to have seen that game.

offsides,
Speaking of updating schedules, there is no report on the Gaffney-Clover game played earlier this week. Can you give us a report on that one? I heard that yellow cards and PK's were being handed out like candy at The Reservation.

per speaking to Byrnes High School athletic department secretary:

Byrnes defeated Hillcrest in PKs on Wednesday night. She was unsure of the final score, but confirmed that Byrnes won the game.

Anyone have a recap???

NA 1
DF 0

DF 2
Irmo 1

Irmo 6
Aiken 1

NA 3
Aiken 2

Judging from the first three scores, you would think the distance between North Augusta and Aiken would be wider.

Region V 4A is very competitive. Throw Lexington and White Knoll into the mix and anybody can beat anybody. Fun to watch.

Wando/BE article in Post & Courier

http://charleston.net/news/2009/apr/23/warriors_take_back_control79762/

Awesome play by all Wando players last night. BE has a great team, but Wando's bench is deep, fast, strong and incredibly fit. Wando was able to wear down the BE defense and capitalized with solid,strong goals. Great game to watch.

Sounds like 2 wins to me is it not.

IDK! :P making a comment about how it should matter how much NA beat Aiken by.. it's still a win.

Well, I tought this might be the only bump in Wando's road to an undefeated season. BE has always given Wando a hard time, but they breezed through. Playing in a weak region and scheduling two very average NC high schools should mean an undefeated regular season. Other teams to look at as we complete the regular season:

Mauldin - get past Sptbg tomorrow night and they should not lose again.

Dutch Fork - hiccuped last night, but will have no trouble until the finale against Irmo.

Hanna - tough one at Wren tomorrow and Riverside next week.

Wren - beaten by Sptbg last night and could lose three more: Hanna, Dorman, J.L. Mann

Others to watch:
Irmo - no trouble until game vs DF
Dorman - Tough matches at Wren and Sptbg
Spartanburg - Mauldin tomorrow and Dorman in season finale

Hurst, I think this was a game that was scheduled just this week as a gap filler because both teams had games that were cancelled for various reasons earlier in the season. I honestly didn't find out about it till about 2:00.

It might have been a very costly game for Hilton Head High though as Senior All-State Forward Abby Fennessey went down with an apparent knee injury in the second half. Hopefully she will be alright as the season winds down.

Are you insinuating Wando plays an easy schedule to remain undefeated???

Define "average NC high schools".

Wando also played TL Hanna, BE, Waccamaw, Greenbrier, GA and Parkview, GA (the best team I've seen all year). Wando participates in the Viking Cup playing the best teams in the state. Coach's cannot control region play, and Coach Champ does an excellent job scheduling competitive games outside their region.

Quote:

Mauldin 5
Boiling Springs 0

It took Mauldin some time to figure out the novel BS defense with all 10 players sprinting upfield most times Mauldin had the ball.

Goals; Boswell; Withey; Brennan; Caroline Smith; Taylor
Assists; Boswell; Brennan; Withey;

I'm pretty sure that Wando played two Georgia teams. I know Parkview was ranked #1 preseason in 5A Georgia ball, but I don't know what Greenbrier's ranking is or was. Wando won both games.

The NC games haven't even been played yet.

Hillcrest 1
Byrnes 1

Byrnes wins in PKs 3-2

Parkview (GA) is a monster....great win for Wando.

TC Roberson (NC) is an excellent team, but I don't think they are as good this year as they were last year (not Wando's fault).

I don't think Wando ducks anyone.

Quote:

Hillcrest 1
Byrnes 1

Byrnes wins in PKs 3-2

so does this set the four teams from R2 in the playoffs?

I took a quick look and here is what we have:

Byrnes is 3-4 in region and has Dorman, Mauldin, and Boiling Springs left. Assuming no upsets it is reasonable to assume they finish 4-6.

Hillcrest is 2-4 and has Dorman, Mauldin twice, and Spartanburg left.

Although still possible, it will take an incredible effort by Hillcrest to move past Byrnes for that final spot.

But wouldn't it be a great story if they did!

Let me say I have followed and have supported Wando for a lot of years, dating back to the Coach Ferguson years.

What I meant was that with the remaining weak region schedule(yes no fault of Wando, just region they are assigned to - I agree) and that the two NC schools are average this year. TC Roberson and Coach Wilcher are not as good as years past (I believe he coached in the national HS All-Star game a few years ago here in Charleston).

The win over Parkview was big. I know their history. Year in and year out, not only one of the strongest teams in GA (with their share of state championships), but in the Southeast. Solidly beating BE gives the East Cooper bragging rights to Wando.

Is Wando good enough to repeat? They are a VERY good side, but have they played, game in and game out, as tough a schedule as some of the other top teams in SC? Where in the state tournament will they face a comparable team? Lower state finals? or state finals?

Two questions for someone to answer:
1. has any 4-A girls team gone unbeaten in winning a state championship?
2. Has any girls 4-A team won three conesecutive state titles?

Mr. Hurst:

You hold legendary status in our household, right behind the almost accurate prognostications of Ryan Roseberry and the twins, CJ and DJ. When you answer the phone after three rings, its service. When you answer it after two rings, its good service. When you answer it after one ring, it is excellent service, but...

When you answer it before it rings......I would have expected you to sense that Hilton Head was playing or smell it as you drove down or something...With the title "Legend" comes responsibility.....

Here you go, knock yourself out...

http://www.schsl.org/2007/pf%2007%20Soccer%20Girls.pdf

It looks like the answer to your two questions is no.

CJ,

No need to knock myself out, been hit hard in the head enough once or twice . . .

Thanks!

Greenville 9 vs. Berea 0
Goals: McNair (2), Robinson, Phillips, Brown (2), Bedoya, Jernigan, Sanchez
Assists: Davis, Muse, Sanchez, Waters, Wessel, Lewis
Shutout: Brown, Hunt, Lewis

Happy to see that our heavy mix of JV-players, non-starters and others in most unusual positions were still able to play well together. Kudos to Berea who keep losing every game with a high margin, but are still having a good time on the pitch. GREAT attitude!

Final Score

DF wins over White Knoll on PK's 3-2

DF down 2-0 with 15 minutes to go in the game. Came back to tie 2-2, then thru both OT's. 4-3 pks
Physical play on both sides. A few yellow cards handed out.
Great job by DF keeper Katie Nesbitt in PK's to stop two White Knoll PK's.

Eastside 1
JL Mann 0

A good win for one of the most respected coaches in SC! I got the chance to meet the dad of the Moore sisters this weekend...who scored the goal for Eastside?

I think it was DF 4-3 in pks DF keeper with one save and each team hit the post. This info came from a DF parent.

Gilbert 1
Barnwell 0

I hate it when you double the amount of shots and come away with nothing to show. (and a couple of questionable offsides).

Great game on both sides...great intensity!!

Congratulations Andy, that's a great win. JL Mann is a very good team, having a fantastic season.

Need the following scores updated on the scoreboard for Region 3 4A:

4/21 - Clover vs. Gaffney
4/22 - York vs. Clover
4/23 - Northwestern vs. Gaffney

York may now have the inside track for the fourth seed???

Northwestern 0
Gaffney 1

Very hard fought match. Lots of Yellow cards for the Gaffney side. We kept most of the possession and shots on frame, just could not finish. Game ended with an altercation between two players resulting in Red cards handed out. Up next Fort Mill on Monday....

Eastide over J. L. Mann: Nice result for one of the best, nicest guys around, Coach Andy Robinson, and the Eastside girls. Don't be fooled by their record. They listen to their coach and they play his system which wins States.

And, my prediction is that Mann goes undefeated for the rest of the year and wins State in AAA.

Hey OutsidetheBox,

Wando's 1995 girls team finished the season 20-0 and won the state championship. They also won all three games in the Viking Cup but at that time it was just an exhibition and no winner was crowned.

So yes, it has happened before, to a Scott Ferguson coached team no less!

From the Greenville News:

4/22 Riverside 6, Chapman 0

4/23:
Greenville Tech 10, Carolina 0
Shannon Forest 3, Gaston Day 0

Greenville Girls:

Another team with a solid system and great coach. They will make a run in the playoffs.

Good game at Wren tonight at 7:00.

TL Hanna 6-0 in region

vs

Wren- who only has one lose, to TL Hanna in penalty shots.

Pretty much for the region championship.

One loss in region or one loss for the season?

I think Sparty got 'em once.

Region, and Hobo is being polite with his phrasing of this as "pretty much" for the region title. No other teams in the region can statistically win the region title at this point.

This is a BIG game for both teams, and great for Region I! To have two teams in the top 5 in the AAAA girls polls is a first!

There's also the little fact of facing the #3 or #4 seed from Region II in the first round, and getting home field advantage at least through the 2nd round. Both programs are having great seasons, and are looking to lay claim to a "slightly" (NOTHING is easy when you face a Region II team in the 1st round) smoother path in the playoffs.

I wonder if either Wren or Sparty showed their hand in their potential play-off preview match?

SOUTHDISE CHRISTIAN 3 WOODRUFF 1

Goals: Rita Walsh, BLS (43rd min), Margaret Fawcett, Ham (68th min), Sammi Osman, BLS (82nd min)

Excellent game. BLS really controlled the tempo for most of the game. Extremely hot weather left both teams worn out by game's end. Beautiful OT goal by Osman in the first OT period. Both teams played hard and stepped it up late in the game. Proud of my defense for shutting down Hammond's attack most of the night and keep a very good Sarah Spector out of the game. Midfield played great and maintained possession. Nail-biter!

@ Memorial Stadium

Airport 2:0 Dreher

0-0 at the half. 1st goal for Airport on a what looked like (to Dreher contingent, anyway) an obvious offsides break - away. 2nd goal on a corner after the ball was kicked out of Dreher keepers hands. Bottom line even without the sour grapes: another frustrating, discouraging loss for Dreher.

I have always had respect for Coach Morris but can't say I have any respect for some of the Airport players and their actions during the game or ANY of the Airport players that participated in the 'rub it in your face' cheer after the game.

South Aiken 3 Swansea 1
Congrats to South Aiken on wrapping up the region championship.

Blue Ridge Women's Varsity 2, Greenville Tech Charter 0

Greenwood 1
Westside 0 Pks

Greenwood won 9-8 in Pks on the 9th shooter. First time Westside has ever held Greenwood scoreless. First time Westside has ever taken Greenwood to overtime or PKs in the program's history.

Shots - Westside 23, Greenwood 7
Corners - Westside 2, Greenwood 2
Records - Westside 10-6 (3-4) / Greenwood 5-6 (4-3)

These two teams meet again on May 6th to determine the 3rd and 4th seed in Region I. The first tie-breaker is head to head goals, the second is goals against in the region. To date, Greenwood has allowed 2 fewer goals in region play. Greenwood still has (Hanna, Easley, and Westside), Westside still has (Laurens, Hanna, and Greenwood). The 4th seed most likely gets Mauldin first round, the 3rd seed earns a trip to Dorman. What a gift!

Blythewood 3
Rock Hill 0

The cheer was "how did we win, the devil made us do it" which is exactly the same cheer Airport received when Dreher won in previous years. There was no bad sportmanship, and no goal was kicked out of the keepers hands. I have the upmost respect for Coach Morris also and I know inappropriate behavior from players would not be tolerated.

Quote:

Mauldin 4
Spartanburg 1

Mauldin dominated with some great passing in the first half but did not create many chances and found themselves one goal down at half time from a great solo effort by Long the Spartanburg center forward. Mauldin's Young scored from a header off a low corner kick just after the break. Mauldin goals followed from Smith, Simpson and Brennan.
Mauldin 8-0 in the region.

Goals: Spartanburg Long
Mauldin: Young; Smith; Simpson; Brennan.
Assists: Nelson; Carter; Schaidle; Boswell.

That is what I thought. I have personally witnessed Dreher do the same cheer after winning a game against Airport and other teams numerous times.... I guess some people have short memories.

Dreher's mascot is the Blue Devil, hence the cheer "the devil made us do it" after EVERY victory for at least the past 5 years that I'm aware of. For the Airport Eagles to throw that cheer back at them on their home field, in my opinion, is to be mocking them and is 'rubbing their faces in it'. Not to mention Dreher has not even won a game in the region, has only scored 1 goal in 8 games in the region, and only has 2 wins the whole season, both against the same team.

Live and Learn,

A cheer is a cheer, doesn't matter how it originated. How is it acceptable for Dreher to do this cheer after a win, while others cant? I am sure they (Dreher) have beaten many teams while those teams were having bad seasons and they felt like Dreher was "rubbing it in their face". Your argument has no merit!!!! Have you ever heard of the sayings "your reap what you sow" or "what comes around goes around" or "everything is on a wheel"

Dreher is young and has had several injuries, they will be ok and will be back doing the "Devils work" before you know it.... and I am sure that they will let the opponents know why the did it!!!

good luck to Dreher and coach K...

Coach K coaches the Blue Devils?

Cool.

Hurst

My only problem with the style is that many of us that see alot of SCISA soccer think that Ashley Hall has the athletes to compete at a high level in SCISA. I have thought that for years now. But it seems to the observer that they are content to "lose close". I just don't think that it is fair to the kids to chalk up a loss before the game ever starts.

As an aside, if the "result" that my coach wanted to acheive in any sport was a close loss, I would not play for that coach.

Me too! After all the soccer of the last two weeks I went fishing yesterday. I had a pretty good day considering the heat. I caught a couple of huge catfish on chicken livers and a bunch of shell crackers.

I love bobber fishing...you can snooze between bites!

Was promised many times the trip...but you never came through. That's the real reason I poured Kerosene in the 4x4.

hey ROH,still on the JL WILSON bandwagon?Surprise,surprise!How about a prediction for the Blue Ridge vs. Riverside game for the region 3 championship? Should be a good one. Best of luck on an already successful season.
