The Upper State winner will come from Chapin, Riverside and JL Mann. I watched the Greenville/Mann game last night dodging the thunderstorms which Mann won in OT after playing very poorly for most of the game and being down 2-0 late in the first half. This was the first time I had seen Mann play and while they definitely have the talent to win the State, they are very inconistent and many of their players make too many mistakes. Their Center back intentionally ran over one of the Greenville players in the box which led to a penalty kick goal. Mann is very athletic however and still found a way to win. I have seen Riverside play 3 times and am very impressed with how hard they play and how well they are coached. I have not seen Chapin but am familiar with Joey Demare and would expect they will be very competitive. My pick is Riverside because of their consistency
