1ST; "unskilled and bad" are plainly stupid things to say about NHS D.
A closer look does seem to indicate that thay will be tested much more thins year. Last year they were so busy scoring goals that they rarely got a serious test. They are not going to score as much this year, IMHO. Last year they beat Dreher 8-0 this year only 4-1.
The numbers from the Irmo game seem to show a pretty good domination by IRMO: shots 5 vs 16, corners 1 vs 8, and the only goal managed by NHS was a PK. While I am sure they will still win most everything they are no longer the 800# gorillia in the room.
