I think Fort Mill vs Riverside for an upper state championship would be pretty sweet. From experience, the best part of moving down or up is meeting the new coaches and visiting high schools you've never been to. Lots of fun and excitement in meeting new people and places

I think I read where Nation Ford had a graduating class of 261 this year and Fort Mill was a tad over 300. Can't believe either are 4A. My graduating class in HS was over 800!!!

Well given the shift from AAAA to AAA Fort Mill will be a target for every AAA they face anyway. Everyone will want to "measure" themselfs against a former AAAA team. Playing with target on your chest can give you an edge too! (oh do not think Nation Ford will not have tat same target too!)
I know what NFHS has coming up through the ranks too! They will also be a contender in the coming years. The club girls in the pipeline for them have all played with the FMHS girls for years and the group coming up over the next few years reflect the increasing impact of good club play in the area!

No doubt, the chance to play in new places will be a great adventure for the girls! As for playing Riverside in the up state Well if the numbers hold it does not seem likely, but you never know. Right now I think the girls want another shot at Mauldin becasue to e the best you have to beat the best, and this year it was Mauldin and until someone knocks them off they will be "the champs" and everyone wants to beat the champ.

Chief,
We aren't "dropping down" to 3A, more like, moving across.
Riverside, Eastside, South Aiken, JL Mann, Hilton Head, etc. are as good as any teams in 4A.
Should be interesting.
Riverside is a 4A team. They just happen to play 3A. They have a bigger student body than half the 4A team. How they stay 3A I don't know.

On the 2007 135-day enrollment list, Riverside was #47 which is in the top 48 and would normally be AAAA. But for some reason, it appears #58 Nation Ford was put in AAAA for 2008-2010 instead of Riverside. Anyone know why?

The two schools petitioned and we're granted. Travel were the stated reasons. At #47, that would not make them "...have a bigger student body than half the 4A team". Only one 4A team would they be larger than in that case.

Travel? That trip from Riverside to Mauldin, or Riverside to Hillcrest, must be a killer!  Check out a map and look at the trek from York to Lugoff-Elgin.  "Hey Dale......uh, you can't get there from here." 
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
