Yes..

I was under the impression that the GA-SC Bulls was a combination of the old Aiken Club(sc), North Augusta(sc), and Columbia County (ga). I could be way wrong (would not be the 1st time) but I thought that is how the GA-SC part of the name came to be.

I believe you are correct. I looked up the record of the SC U18 Girls in the SC challenge league and they were about in the middle of the pack. So I made a few calls to see how they were able to win the first round game. It seems there roster was increased to 18 before the deadline and several of the players this pasted Saturday played for other Bulls teams during the season. Still it was a competitive game (1 - 0) with both teams having opportunities to score. Looks as if the new SC Bulls club is trying to make an impact in the state cup and not the challenge league.

The deadline works for most clubs..If you have a 17 team that does not make first rounds but another 17 or 18 team does..Why would you not move players?

A team that does not make it to state can have some capable players on the roster..I am not talking half the team..I would imagine also that there might be some beat up teams right now after league play and could use some help with injuries..If you have a chance to pad your squad for state..why would you not do that? If the game goes your way then don't play them..Not many have mutiple teams so it's probably just an advantage for larger clubs..Strength in numbers!!

and yes you are correct on the roster question..

u17 and up can roster 22 but only dress 18 for games.

Could a South Carolina team roster a kid from a North Carolina team that has already finished state cup?

no. you can only play (be rostered) for 1 state cup a year under usysa.
