Who will SA most likely face in the first round?
Also, there was an error in the Aiken Standard regarding this being South Aiken's first region title in AAAA soccer. The T-Breds were also region 3-AAAA champs in '96, with a 10-2 region record, 17-5 overall, and #7 ranking in the state. At the time, the region was made up of eight teams: Aiken, Airport, Brookland-Cayce, Lexington, Midland Valley (no team), North Augusta, Orangeburg Wilkinson, and South Aiken.
During that same season, North Augusta defeated SA 2-1 in the 2nd round of the playoffs and advanced to the Upper State Finals, ultimately falling to Mauldin 5-0. To this date, that is the farthest that any boys AAAA soccer team from Aiken County has ever advanced in the playoffs.
Ironically, SA won region the year before Irmo came in (96), and the year after Irmo left (03). Aiken has never won the region as a AAAA school.
