That would be my guess too. Too bad it can't work out. I think it would spice things up to have AT LEAST those two schools in A and have their own Championship.
I too would love to "spice things up". There is a perfect way to do it. A tournament of Champions at the end of the season.
The team that HHP played from Wisconsin, Waukesha Catholic Memorial, is ranked #1 in the smallest division, but they have a tournament of champions to decide the overall state championship and WCM has won it two years in a row.
I think a four team tournament with the AAAA, AAA, AA/A and SCISA AAA champs would be outstanding soccer. Draw the semifinal matchups out of a hat and then let them play it out.
It would be a huge money maker.

SCISA sports fan - Unfortunately that is not permissible via SCHSL rules. Teams cannot play additional games after the playoffs/championship are played.

Yes. That doesn't mean I am going to quit screaming about it from every rooftop. 
Another one of SCHSL's wonderful guidelines that is in the best interest of everyone involved.

I don't mean to dwell on Woodruff (I grew up there, taught there 18 years, coached the first girls team, coached with Fernando with the boys and girls team, and have a wife coaching the JV and assisting the varsity—and my daughter played there 4 years), but I will confirm two things:
Casey Black is a CESA-premiere player and and outstanding player/young lady. Top freshman possibly, one of the best players period in the state.
Woodruff more than ten years ago had no girls program and almost no boys playing club. When I started coaching the boys, I promoted the need for year-round playing. Fernando has made the same request for the boys and now the girls. Now WHS girls have most of their players playing at some level of club in the fall (most in Spartanburg)—for the record.
I consider this a huge commitment from the community for quality high school girls soccer.

Just looked at the "Big 4" from Region 2. No match between Spartanburg, Byrnes, Dorman, or Mauldin has been determined by more than 1 goal. Amazing! I think these four rival the "Big Three" of long ago when West Ashley, Wando, and James Island terrorized the lower state.

Although Summerville was not in the same region, they were the fouth member of the "Lowerstate Big 4" back then.
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

OK. How many teams can say that they lost 9 games, and EVERY SINGLE TEAM THAT BEAT THEM:
1. Is ranked in the top 15 in their class.
2. Won in the first round of the playoffs.
.....Riverside 10-0
.....J.L. Mann 5-0
.....Eastside 8-0
.....Wade Hampton 3-1
.....North Augusta 2-1
.....Blythewood in playoffs 2-0
3. Has an exceptional chance to win in the second round except for Riverside/Eastside who play each other.
Good job, Blue Ridge Lady Tigers!

We can and we actually beat a few ranked teams. You all are ranked and we are not. You all did not even beat a ranked opponent. Also, we have a better goal differential... ...just saying. Interesting. Don't get me wrong-great job with your program. I think I made the god's of scsoccer mad with forfeiting to Airport. I did the best thing for my group and the time frame. I am sorry scsoccer, I throw myself on the mercy of the forum. See ya'll in club.
