Wando/BE should be interesting...don't let the 4A/2A fool you, there are plenty of blue chips on both sides of that equation.

I would like to see a "real" all state team take on the defending state champs Mauldin. By "real" I mean the best players in the state even though they don't attend "the #1 or #2" soccer rich schools in each region. I think the all star from this game should be the SC Player of the year.
Huh? 
Observer, what are you saying? Fort Mill had Mauldin on the ropes in last year's upper-state final, with a team comprised of a bunch of juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Anybody with any soccer knowledge who witnessed the match will tell you that Mauldin was "fortunate" to advance.
TL Hanna gave them a game, Wando stood toe-to-toe with Mauldin in the state final. Riverside, JL Mann and Dorman can give the Lady Mavs all they want on any given day.
Am I missing something here? Is Mauldin going to hammer every opponent they play this year?

Mauldin has to play their best just to win the region, let alone make it to the state finals. There are numerous schools in the state that can beat Mauldin on any given day.
Only time will tell

ROH, I definitely agree. There should be one for each level of A. Hurst66 Fort Mill, Wando, Dorman, JL Mann, TL Hanna would have been the stated school had they won the State Championship.

Still not quite sure where you are coming from. None of the girls listed below play for Fort Mill, and if they were to play Fort Mill in an "All Star" game, these All-Stars (plus a few others from the class of 2011) would probably thrash the Lady Jackets.
.....and I would imagine they would take it to the Lady Mavs as well. (Even if the Hert/Hirt girls played for Mauldin).

Would like for a true all star team (not those who would be nominated by seniority) the best players in the state to take on the state champs, once one has been determined. (all levels of high school ball) Then pick the SC Player of the Year based on their performance in this match-up. (s)

Not all of the best players in our state make all state because they play at schools that are soccer-challenged. Many of these players have higher stats than those that actually earn the high school awards. Higher stats at a school that has 1 or 2 club players (if that) is much harder to do than at a school that has all club and several region III players. To be blunt: the best players in the state, regardless of their year in high school and where their high school team finishes should have a fair chance at being names SC Player of the Year and to the All State Team.

Mavs dad is just covering himself in case the Lady Mavericks get upset. Mauldin has 5-6 CESA premier players returning, 5-6 new CESA premier players coming in. On paper their more deep than last year. Mav's dad has already ordered another trophy case to set above his fireplace. I don't blame him. If you beat Mauldin this year you upset them...

observer,
Your logic is seriously flawed.
#1 Determining the SC HS POY on the basis of solely one game is ridiculous. Best player may not be 100% in that match.
#2 Stats are seriously misleading. It often depends on the competition you are facing, rather than the number of great players you have around you. The 10th best player in the state could pile up massive statistics playing in a weak region (in 2A). A player could also score a ton of goals in one season playing for a coach who doesn't take his foot off the pedal in lopsided matches against inferior competition.

Not really because to play in the match you would have had to earn it throughout the season. I would, also, say that based on the way the regions are set up the soccer haves typically don't have the best competition during their regular league games. What if the best player in the state plays for a high school with no other club players and a coach who is not soccer qualified? Is it fair to just give it to a player who happend to be on a good team?
