Yeah I know a few upsets and of course the "homer" call. We will see....
You've been drinking. No way Easley loses to Dorman...
Have to differ with you on several games but come out with the same final 4 and champions. Here are my predictions for the winners:
First round winners:
TL Hanna, South Aiken, Dorman, Irmo, Fort Mill, Wren, Lexington, Mauldin
Dutch Fork, James Island, Richland Northeast, West Ashley, Wando, Spring Valley, Summerville, Ridge View
Second round winners:
TL Hanna, Irmo, Fort Mill, Lexington
Dutch Fork, West Ashley, Wando, Summerville
Third round winners:
Irmo, Lexington
Dutch Fork, Wando
Upper State Champ: Lexington
Lower State Champ: Dutch Fork (Upset)
State Champions: Lexington
It sure would be good to have a girls AAAA State Champion from the Midstate for the first time since Richland Northeast in 2001.
Coach P & LF are "homers"!!!
You'll only get first round predictions out of me . . . plus PREDICTED scores.
T.L. Hanna 3-1
South Aiken 2-1
Dorman 11-0
Irmo 3-1
Fort Mill 4-0
Spartanburg 1-0
Lexington 8-0
Mauldin 3-0
Dutch Fork 7-0
James Island 2-0
Sumter 3-2
West Ashley 2-1
Wando 9-0
Spring Valley 4-0
Summerville 6-0
Ridge View 3-1
Who's been drinking?? Where do you see me picking Easley over Dorman??
Reread it, LF. Your picks are senile. Dorman over Easley? Crazy man...
Anybody remember the last time Hanna met Byrnes AT HANNA?
LF,
You have Lex winning the Upper State Championship without having to play Fort Mill or Dorman. Nice!
Here's my prediction:
1st - Fort Mill 2, Aiken 0
2nd - Fort Mill 2, Wren 1
Quarters - Fort Mill 2, Greenwood 0
Upper State - Fort Mill 3, Clover 2
State Championship - Fort Mill 1, James Island 0
FORT MILL State Champs! (with a little help from a couple of lower seeds).
A lot of people have Irmo prevailing over Dorman in the second round. That game should be a great rematch from last years State Championship.
You guys are all w----a----y off base!! No way will James Island come out of the Lower State Bracket.. I was looking at the Region Stats.If I am correct, James Island was behind Wando and Stratford..James Island's Record was 7-12 when last recorded. How can you say James Island will win when there are powerhouses like Wando in the lower state?
FutbolMadness,
I believe people are just having some fun - of course, maybe you are too!!!
Everyone is just trying to think of a way THEIR team can "win it all". Fortunately, this isn't a beauty pageant - we "judges" will have no input. The winner will be determined on field. It is a great time of the year for high school sports fans, as all of these SCHSL sports are wrapping up with their respective championships in the next couple of weeks!!!
Irmo has been picking things up a bit, but it's going to take one reaaaaaaaaly good run of form to beat the Cavs.
In my opinion, this title is Dorman's to lose. Until someone proves otherwise on the field.
Deahler, Of course I am just having fun!!! You are right, it is a GREAT time of the year for soccer fans - so much smack to be talked, so little time.....
W&E - I'll have some of what you are having. Here it is tell me how this says I am picking Easley over Dorman. Anyway, good luck this week!!
Dorman - Dorman
Easley
Now if you want to debate the Irmo over Dorman fine. I for sure picked that one.
H66 - if you notice the way I started this thread I said
Here are my girls 4A playoff predictions / "hopes"
The way I picked em Lexington would stay home for all the games. I don't really want to travel to Fort Mill and then Dorman. Do I really think it will happen that way, not really, but hey it could!
Good luck to all the teams and hopefully the best team will win
LF, I have tried to make a joke, but you refuse to play along. I was using sarcasm in declaring you clinically insane to chose Dorman over Easley. The humorous part of my post is that Dorman is a top three team and Easley is not even a top three seed in their region. Sigh...I must try harder next time.
I agree with a Lexington/Wando final. HOWEVER, I'm prediciting Wando will win 1-0. I'm also clinically insane enough to predict Stratford will beat West Ashley! Looking forward to some great soccer! Parents, play nice! :-)
Sorry H66, no way James Island gets to the final! LOL
LF,
You really need to read W&E's response to your original post more carefully.
"You've been drinking. No way Easley loses to Dorman... "
I think your old eyes are tricking you . . . he is sarcastically making fun of you for picking Dorman over Easley. This is no fun at all when you have to explain yourself - now is it!!!
05,
Read the thread from the top. My "prediction" was in response to LF taking the easy road to the state championship. I was just having a little fun with my friends from Lex.
Of coures JI is a long shot, your girls from Wando are the prohibitive favorites. Any idea if Jennifer is going to see some quality minutes with the varsity during the state playoffs?
Hurst, aside from Deahler, I think we are not appreciated nor understood. You leave Fort Mill, i'll leave T.L. Hanna, and we'll meet in the middle and take...Lower Richland to the top!
W&E,
Radio High and The Mill will both exhaust themselves in Round 1. Despite their #1 seeds, both will be extremely fortunate to advance past the second round.
I agree. We've got some bad kharma that has popped it's head again. On an unrelated note, congrats to the Lady Jackets of T.L. Hanna on their highest ranking ever at #7. It was achieved twice this year after years and years of non existance. The girls make the head coach look good...
..one of you has to make it to Upperstate, so I can heckle you on my day off!
Yeah...that'll be us next year. Until then, Hurst is your man.
Upperstate? Talk to Lex, Mauldin, Dorman and Irmo.
..there is probably enough time for me to whip-up some antagonizing pie chart posters for a Lex game..
Um yall are crazy to have Irmo over Dorman, or anyone over Dorman for that matter. Dorman already beat Irmo in a scrimmage earlier this year, and This Championship is Dorman's to win. I think they could just show up to the games, and still manage to win.
I'm afraid that I have to agree with JM. With #3 (Lexington), #5 (Mauldin), #6 (Fort Mill) and #9 (Spartanburg) all on the other side of the Upper State bracket; Dorman doesn't have to do much more than show up and they are in the Upper State finals. And, after the aforementioned (#3, #5, #6, #9) all beat up on each other, Dorman will merely mail in their ticket to Stone Stadium before they even play some "leftover" from the other side of the bracket.
Ol' "Joe Lawrence" has it made!!!
By the way JM, get your facts straight, Irmo and Dorman TIED in a scrimmage earlier this year. Dorman WON over Irmo 1-0 at the Viking Cup. Also, with a Cavalier by definition being a man (from wikipedia: noun, Cavalier - A military man serving on horse - A gay, sprightly, military man; hence, a gallant), what do the female sports teams at Dorman call themselves?
H66, Yea, I know it was a joke! That's why I put LOL on there. (and maybe get a rise from some J. I. fans ;-) ) Joking aside, Summerville will give us a run for our money. It will be a great game for soccer fans to watch. Jennifer wasn't on varsity when we played Summerville last time. I would expect Jennifer to have some quality minutes. I believe she's proven herself in the opportunities she was given to play with the varsity team. I've not seen her play against the tougher varsity competition, but am looking forward to it. Maybe we'll get to see her play on May 11, Wando vs Ft Mill? Not being that familiar with the upstate, is that such a long shot?
05,
Summerville has been under the radar all year but I still think Wando will walk through the lowerstate. As for the upperstate, there are at least six teams that could make a legitmate case for reaching the final. FM would have to beat at least three of them to get to Stone Stadium.
Good luck!
W&E - Yeah I know you were pulling my chain. I just wanted to see if you would go even further but you didn't..
I'm not that old dealer.
Hurst knows I was looking for the easy way through the playoffs, but I think we all can admit that with the exception of the first round, this is anybodys tournament.
Of course that doesn't go for Dorman because like JM said all Dorman has to do is show up and they go to the finals.
I said it very early in the season after Lexington lost to Dorman in PK's. I won't be surprised if Dorman doesn't even make it to the upperstate finals.
Now the real fun starts. Good luck to everyone...
The Lady Cavaliers....thats what we call them
Ok, I missed a few in the first round. Here's how it looks going into the second round though....
Second Round

Lexington - LEXINGTON WINS IT ALL
Wando
I'll take
#1 Byrnes over NW (Sorry Cantona!)
#2 Dorman over Irmo (Sorry Mike!)
#3 Fort Mill over S-burg (Best Wednesday Match-Up)
#4 Lex over Mauldin (Underdog, Kevin!)
#1 DF over JI
#2 Summerville over RV (Polk is a funny man)
#3 WA over RNE
#4 Wando over SV (I'm cheering for Steve on the inside)
Lexington-Mauldin has to be the best Wednesday match-up only because both of those heavyweights deserve to be in the Great 8. Unbelievable that they are meeting so early.
Spartanburg-Fort Mill should be a one-goal game. Pick 'em.
We used to have our brackets done by points seeding (2002). I know this is easier, but I wouldn't mind a trip back to the old way like AA and football does it now
W&E, you just had a tough region match-up. Very unfortunate. Shame you didn't match-up against Region 3.
No apologies needed W&E no one had us picked in the first round either. Respect has to be earned never given.
I'm living through you two now, so make me proud!
Cross your fingers.....we could easily be posting that All-Region 3 team by Thursday morning!
My second round predictions
Northwesten
Byrnes **
Dorman
Irmo **
Fort Mill **
Spartanburg
Lexington **
Mauldin
Dutch Fork **
James Island
Sumter or Richland NE (not sure of last night score)
West Ashley **
Wando **
Spring Valley
Summerville **
Ridgeview
I predict, or atleast hope there will be another streaker at a Lexington girls game like in the play offs last year. It makes for quite an interesting half time performance.
Deahler & Chico are on probation....won't happen.
LEXINGTON IS GOING ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR NO ONE CAN STOP THEM....THEY ARE A TRAIN OF PAIN!!!!!
ClimaCool, You know what they say about trains.....they often derail!
they also say if you get in the way of one it will plow right threw you. I have seen the shows on tv where trains mess up cars and anything else in their way.
Let's hope nobody blows up the bridge...
Don't really know who will survive the brackets holding FM, Sptg, Lex, and Mauldin—but I do know that whoever takes 4A will deserve it.
Good for SC soccer that 4A holds such a strong group of players, coaches and programs.
Talking with a club coach during fall state championships, and he noted that few people realize how hard it is for young people to step on the field and win when they are SUPPOSED to win. True. Hoping Wed night brings a lot of good soccer for all involved.
CRICKETS......
Not a peep out of anybody. I blame Byrnes for taking out W&E.
Where's the chatter?
Hurst is right, it's quiet, too quiet. Darn TL Hanna for ever losing, darn them!!! That said, here are my second round predictions:
Northwesten
Byrnes ---Byrnes 3-1
Dorman
Irmo ---Dorman 2-0
Fort Mill
Spartanburg--- Spartanburg 1-0 (ot)
Lexington
Mauldin--- Mauldin 2-1 PKs
Dutch Fork
James Island --- Dutch Fork 4-1
Richland NE
West Ashley--- West Ashley 2-1 (???)
Wando
Spring Valley--- Spring Valley 3-2 (Hunch)
Summerville
Ridgeview --- Summerville 1-0 (ot)
I think that spring valley is about to pull a big upset tonight over wando!! I feel it coming! Spring valley is PUMPED.. Wando is NOT beating them for the 3rd year in a row!! Just not happening!!
If Spring Valley wins tonight.......Steve is COY.
Good luck SV.
There has not been a "SHOCKING" result in the 4A playoffs so far in 2007. Any chance of one happening in the second round? I don't know, I'm not even sure which results would classify as shocking.
I would consider it "SHOCKING" if any upperstate team wins their second round match by MORE THAN 3 GOALS.
I would also consider it "SHOCKING" if all the teams that advance in upperstate are region 2 teams, and all from the lower are region 5. That would be too eerie...
Sorry, had to check the scoreboard for this.
I would also find it shocking if RNE, a team that went winless (0-6)in their region yet advanced to the playoffs by default (Region V had only 4 teams), makes it to the third round.
Hey, they beat Northwestern 3-0, it COULD happen...
Good stuff Coach R.
RNE beat Northwestern 3-0.
Northwestern beat South Aiken 1-0.
South Aiken beat Aiken 2-1.
Aiken beat Irmo 1-0.
Irmo beat Lexington 1-0.
Lexington tied Wando 0-0.
RNE's got a chance!
Northwesten
Byrnes ---NHS 1-1 NHS in pk's 3-2
Dorman
Irmo ---Dorman 3-1
Fort Mill
Spartanburg--- FM 2-1
Lexington
Mauldin--- Lexington 3-0
Dutch Fork
James Island --- JI 2-1
Richland NE
West Ashley--- going with the girls from the lowcountry! 2-1
Wando
Spring Valley--- No contest, WANDO 3-0 Go Warriors!
Summerville
Ridgeview --- Another no contest, Summerville 3-0 Roll Wave!
In return (you lowcountry folks), root for an upset victory for the SHS Knights over SV on the boys side
Good luck to all teams!
What time is that SV vs Wando match?
Boy, there are some good games being played tonight. Some real heavy weights from the upstate going head to head. Too bad that 1/2 of these good teams will be out after the second round. That just doesn't seem right. They should do some sort of a seeding process instead of per region. When you have so many good teams in the same region like region 2 it doesn't seem fair to me. Oh well....
I expect this board will be buzzing like crazy come tonight.
LF, I couldn't agree more...

Steve,
If your scenario plays out, we will have had eight different schools competing in the last four 4A girls state championship games. Incredible parity. Great for high school soccer!
so who all thinks wandos winnin it all?
You know, Steve may have something here. We played Summerville in the Viking Cup, and even though it was very early in the season, Summerville seemed to be a pretty darn good team from what I can remember. Wando may have their hands full tonight.
Really looking forward to tonight's Fort Mill-Lexington game. Last time they played (FM Invitational) Lex dominated a good bit of the game but couldn't score. FM took over midway thru the second half and had Lexington on its heels at times. Really good game and tonight should be a repeat.
No one on this board is giving Fort Mill any chance at all and its kind of interesting. The Lady Jackets are a very gritty group.....mentally and physically.
They probably don't pound lesser teams the way they should and there aren't many high profile players on the team other than Rachel and Ashleigh....but as a group they will hang and hang and hang with teams that are better on paper....simply by being tough and hardnosed.
I wouldn't want to play them this early in the playoffs, nor would I advise betting against them in a tight game.
Lexington should be favored. I've only seen them play the one time and they looked to me to be a very well coached team with some exceptional players. But.......
To be continued tonight.
Don't know how much you want to read into that first match at Manchester Meadows.
Fort Mill was playing Lex on short rest after a tough game against Lake Norman.
Lexington's best player was playing on one leg.
We'll see tonight.
We will indeed!!!!
Its raining as I type.....does a wet field benefit one team over the other?
Looks like we are going to be playing in the rain tonight. Lets hope the fields hold up and everyone comes through safe!!
BD - I don't know about anyone else on this board, but you can bet that no one on Lexington is taking FM lightly. This game is no gimme by any means. We had a tough game against Mauldin Wednesday, and I expect more of the same from FM tonight. Like I said I hope the rain / fields do not affect the game / players.
FT. Mill has an excellent team. This team has a lot more than just Ashleigh and Rachel. They are able to sub in bunches and never lose a beat. Nothing against Lexington as they are quality but Lex better bring their "A" game to beat this powerful bunch. Throw the last time they played out, this is the playoffs man! I like the Mill through the finals.
the summerville girls know they cant do it though thats the problem
Summerville/Wando match will definitely be a must see..I watched them go down to pks the last time I was there
I think Summerville will prevail tonight as well, even though I am a Wando alum. Wando just does not seem to be able to finish. In the Spring Valley game, almost all of their chances came off of crosses, with mixed results. One resulted in a PK, the other goal was after a deflection and being in the right place at the right time. They also racked up quite a few corner kicks. I didn't see anyone who could take the ball from outside the 18 and get a hard shot off on frame.
On a positive note, they seem to play very well as a team, had several beautiful passing sequences, and communicated very well on defense. It seems they lack a true finisher.
I think if Summerville can score, they will win. Although with the potential for rain who knows. Very similar to last year's game in the wet weather.
Of course FM has more than just the 2 girls!!! But its a blue collar, lunch pail type of team. Few stars.....lots of heart. The upperclassman have provided excellent leadership!!
FM has an excellent group of freshman. There are 5-6 girls that have played key roles this year and several other 9th graders queued up for bigger roles next year.

Rain can sometimes be a great equalizer. Lexington has to overcome a tough match on Wednesday and the long bus ride to Fort Mill. I haven't seen Fort Mill play this year but in years past they were an excellent coached team. Lexington has the players to win but it will be up to attitude and determination. I just wish I could be there to watch. Hurst and dealher will you provide the recap for us with other commitments.
Anybody picking Byrnes to continue the Cinderella story against Irmo?
Wando/Summerville will be a great game as it was the last time they played. Both teams will leave everything they have on the field.
I'm sure both teams hope the "flamboyant" center ref that thinks the game is all about him will be missing this time. Even the sideline refs were rolling their eyes.
Hopefully, the rain will hold out like it did last time.
I am going with the Warriors, 2-0. GO WANDOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
fos,
You'll have to get your game recap from Big Daddy, Real McCoy, Chico and LF. deahler and I will be in the Town Tavern after the match, sharing a few pints and discussing the coulda, shoulda, woulda's.
What? No WiFi in the Town Tavern !!!! Time to upgrade to an "air card" for your laptop......
You know what, I do have wireless capability. Let me call the Tavern!
My third round picks
Byrnes
Irmo**
Fort Mill**
Lexington
Dutch Fork**
West Ashley
Wando **
Summerville
im feeling the 2-0 warriors win over the green wave also soccer05!
GO WARRIORS!!
everyone will be there cheering
does anyone think the Wildcats are being underestimated?
This is one of Real McCoy's areas of expertise.....
Hurst, will WLJR be on the air tonight?

Soccerislife- I would like to see Wildcats win tonight!
D4-Any chance the fans from the Wando boys games will show?
soccer05,
Me, and everyone else in the upperstate, would like to see Summerville win tonight!
Go Green Wave!
Hurst66, Is that because you think that Summerville would be easier to beat in the finals???? I wonder....
WANDO ROCKS!!! GO WANDO
Madness,
That is correct! We are all scared to death of the Wando Machine. Y'all are on a mission!
(No disrespect to Summerville, Dutch Fork or West Ashley).
Death to Wando...may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your uniforms!
H66- Aw man, just when I thought we were buds! LOL Still want to see Ft Mill at USC on the 11th. Then the real needling can begin. We'll squash you like a bug! Good luck tonight!
Baker - the only fleas at Wando will be the ones you bring with you.
PAIN TRAIN ROLLS OVER FORT MILL 1-0!
what did i say?
wando is goin all the way
Wando 1
Summerville 0
So far, so good... 2 more BIG games to go hopefully. Another hard physical match tonight. Fort Mill came out hard and trying to intimidate Lexington, but the girls kept their cool and played just as hard.
Like I said at the beginning of this thread....
Upperstate Finals
Irmo
Lexington - Lexington
Lowerstate Finals
Dutch Fork
Wando - Wando
State Championship
Lexington - LEXINGTON WINS IT ALL
Wando
Congrats to Fort Mill on a hard played game, they never quit or gave up
Congrats to Lex on a good win. They played hard and did what needed to be done.
Glad to see some newspapers in South Carolina will cover girl's soccer. Three 4A teams from the Midlands played in quarterfinal matches last night, and not a mention in THE STATE except for the box scores the coaches submitted. If the Gamecocks aren't involved, THE STATE, doesn't think it is important.
Alas...my flea curse backfired and Wando's luck continues ;->
All kidding aside, the P&C got it right; it was a high-quality defensive struggle from start to finish. Neither team's offense could overcome the other's defense.
But even Wando fans should admit there was just a bit of luck involved in that goal, since neither the AR nor the center ref were anywhere near the end line when they made the call, eh?
Baker, You are right, there was some luck involved with that goal! That is what happens when you put a flea curse on the other team - the camels were so offended that they cursed you back!! LOL
All joking aside, Summerville put up a great fight, and Kiah is a heck of a player, of course I have also seen her play for BFA.
If you got a chance to watch Channel 5 News at 11 pm last night it replayed the goal, and it definitely was a goal. Whether the Refs were in position or not, they called it correctly.
See you next week at BFA tryouts!!!
Sincerely, Your Flea-infested Wando Fan
Hey LF,
I think you're off a bit on your predictions.....
Irmo will win their 2nd game in a row vs LEX
Dutch Fork will win a tight match vs Wando
Can't wait to see the Irmo/Dutch Fork game on Friday night!!!
Yeah, the fact that the Summerville keeper didn't make a big fuss about the call on that goal was our clue that it may have actually gone in.
Of the remaining teams, we've scrimmaged Dutch Fork, played Lexington (lost 2-1), and have now played Wando twice. But now that we're out, I have to side with the Wando fans out there and endorse their predictions to win it all. Go Low Country!
DFFAN YOU ARE CRAZY..THE PAIN TRAIN STOPS FOR NO ONE..THEY JUST CAME OFF WINS AGAINST VERY HARD TEAMS...IRMO PLAYED..DORMAN..WHOOP DE DOO..IM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING DF AND LEXINGTON PLAY FRIDAY!
My prediction ...
Lexington 2-1 Irmo (OT)
Wando 2-0 Dutch Fork
Irmo 2-1 over Lexington
Wando 3-0 over DF
Irmo 1-0 over Wando
If Byrnes drops 2 on Irmo, I think Wando will at least do the same...or to whomever they play save Lex.
Quote:

And the fact that the Summerville fans did not make a fuss either. Lucky is that it is on tape!
Irmo 2
Lex 2
After 754 minutes of regular and extended time, these two teams are still tied. In the 29th pk, Irmo takes it home by using their recent hot streak and underdog status to rob Lexington of a long overdue and much deserved championship game appearance.
DF 1
Wa 0
The 5am practices finally do the Mt. Pleasant girls in. Law abiding silver foxes play well enough, and smart enough to take the beach babes from "East of da Coopah".
I do not see how a team that was in the title game last year, returns almost all of their starting line-up, adds an All-State player to their roster, defeats last year's champions in this year's play-offs, and then puts three players on the All-State team can be considered an underdog?!?!?
...never thought of it that way. Hmmmmmmmm. Alright, Irmo in the 28th pk.
i think that lexington will win it all they'll beat irmo by 2 and then face wando at stone stadium and take home the victory!
I must say that the Wando v Summerville game was quite entertaining. It was tough pulling for the other "SHS" but a well-played game non-the-less. Anyway, since my prediction of Summerville v Lex is trashed...I'll try to do a little better with the final four.
irmo v lex ...barn burner @lex w/a golden goal in OT to give the Cats a shot at the title on Friday
wando v df...having seen wando play a few times this year and not knowing anything about df (other than they must be pretty good or lucky to get this far) I'm going with Wando 3-0 to set up a Wando v Lex final with the warriors winning it all at USC on Friday. 2-1.
(Regardless the result, congrats to all of these girls for their accomplishments thus far and good luck to all!)

Irmo 2
Lex 2
After 754 minutes of regular and extended time, these two teams are still tied. In the 29th pk, Irmo takes it home by using their recent hot streak and underdog status to rob Lexington of a long overdue and much deserved championship game appearance.
I think after 22 pk's (2 per player), if they are still deadlocked, the coaches should just duke it out for the win. In that contest, I call Mike Mauldin...all the way to STATE!! What say you?
Oooooooo...I like that format. There are a few I coaches wouldn't mind going to the 23rd minute with. I owe Gywnne Armstrong 16 losses worth of retribution
I dont know has anyone ever seen Fryland drop kick a trash can... I have... hes like a miniture ninja!!
Question? I know LHS plays IHS tonight but what about Wando. Have they played already? Sorry if this has already been discussed but I don't have time to read through everything to try and find out game times. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Irmo**
Lexington
This is a tough one to call. I think Irmo will win by 1 goal.
Dutch Fork
Wando**
Wando will win by 2 goals.
Where are Dutch Fork and Wando playing and what time?
Contrary to popular belief, Dutch Fork will play and defeat Wando tonight. The game begins at 7pm and is a home game for the Lady Silver Foxes.
Ok, I'll predict Dutch Fork beats Wando 2-1, and Irmo beats Lexington 3-2
SHRINK RAP MY ADVICE TO YOU IS NEVER BET AGAINST THE PAIN TRAIN..PAIN TRAIN ROLLS RIGHT OVER IRMO 7-1...THE LADIES ARE FEEDING THE FURNACE WITH THE YELLOW JACKETS..CHOO CHOO!!!
Only one more prediction to go. So far so good, and tonight could not have been any sweeter. For all you Lexington doubters and haters all we can say is we told you so!! Irmo was blown off the field tonight!! They were in the game for maybe the first 20 minutes and then they were holding on for dear life. Once we scored the 3rd goal it was so OVER.
Hope to see everyone out at stone field on Friday. It should be barn burner!!
State Championship
Lexington - LEXINGTON WINS IT ALL
Wando
YOURE WRONG LF...IT WAS OVER WHEN LEXINGTON WALKED ONTO THE FIELD! CHOO CHOO!
COUGH...COUGH...climaisafairweatherfan...COUGH, COUGH!!!!
LF & ClimaCool,
Apparently it was over as soon as that ref gift-wrapped that goal for you last Friday night at FM.
Hurst:
I can't believe you held your tongue on that one this long.
Why don't you tell us what you really think and get it off your chest.
Hurst:
sorry that your season was ended by an apparently better team. if you got beef, bring your candy butt on down to lexington and we'll throw down. k bye sucka
Hey! Somebody's beating ALLAN for dumbest post of the year!
Camo go back to the woods.
I just havn't heard Hurst talk about the game and his thoughts on "the goal". Do you think your keeper had possesion?
tlrcamo,
Nice to see you made it back safely from York County. Sorry that your experience at NW wasn't as much fun as your night at FM. I do admire your passion though, you and your leather-lunged classmates certainly added to the atmosphere.
true,
"The Goal". Sounds like you and some of the Lex supporters think it may have been a bit controversial. Unfortunately, outside of the Lexington goalkeeper, I probably had the worst view in the stadium. It was such a scrum that I don't recall the PA announcer even crediting the individual that knocked it in.
All I know is what I got second-hand, and I'm paraphrasing:
FM Coach (to center ref): Hey what was that? At least talk to the linesman. (Ref consults briefly with AR and then heads to center circle).
FM Coach (to AR): What's going on? What did he say?
AR: I told him your keeper had possession of the ball.
FM Coach: Great!
Center Ref: (Blows whistle).
Lexington 1, Fort Mill 0.
As I said, very hard-fought match...not a pretty match. Some brilliant moments by some of the best players on the field. Shame the field is so narrow, more room would have allowed more creative play. Congrats to the Lady Wildcats.
I might add that even though the game seemed to get out of hand at times, and I'm sure both sides thought the other side was at fault, the FM team is still problaby the best team we have faced both last year and this year.... so far. Too bad that game was not for the upperstate instead of the 3rd round. It had a lot more intensity but to beat Irmo the way we did was very sweet.
BTW: the announcements and music at FM was excellent. The best I have heard from anyone so far, and the decision to keep the fans seperated was a very smart move as well
Thanks LF. Fort Mill - Lexington is a good, healthy rivalry. Good luck at Stone Friday night. Congratulations also to Wando for being the only Girls 4A school to reach the final more than once over the past four years.
i must agree that fort mill gave us a run for our money they played well and were very physical and i agree with LF on that it probably would have been better if it was for upperstate and not 3rd round
