SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Top Teams so far

Well with the season in full swing, who are some of the top teams? any surprises or dissappointments this year in 4A or SCISA?

I heard JL Mann might be pretty good.

Can't speak for the Upper State. But Lower State Class AAAA is pretty mediocre.

Which should, in theory, make Mann the big favorite come May. (Ask 2011 Irmo and 2012 Wando how that worked out.)

Mann is very good but they showed that they can have letdowns. They almost lost to a very mediocre Greenwood team that shouldnt have presented any challenges for them.

The reality is, all H.S. teams are susceptible to letdowns. The question is, what does the coach do about it? Does he empower mediocrity by selecting it and playing it, or does he address the problem immediately in training, and ultimately through playing time?

When deserving (and undeserving) kids get the same PT, governed purely by the clock, regardless of how they're playing, you set the stage for under-achievement.

I would have to say Mauldin is showing to be a bit of a disappointment, they have already lost almost all of their games.
