Mav Dad: Yes they split with Spartanburg, loss in early season and win in playoffs. Loss to Dorman pre-season, win in playoffs, both non-region games. No doubt Mauldin has the edge in experience, FMHS is very young, like you said much like Mauldin last year. They have lots of sophmores and freshmen playing keys roles, and heck only one senior on the team!
I agree the game could go either way, FMHS will have to keep it low scoring to win because it does not sound like they are likely to keep up in a shooting match with Mauldin. Hopefully will be a fun one to watch!
Good luck!
