Both are great teams and have had great seasons. Both are known for having excellent programs and, especially Northwestern, producing good lads who have played at the next level. Should be a great game and I wish I was in the Greenville area tonight to watch! Mauldin has had some "awkward" or "iffy" losses this season to Christ Church and Boiling Springs, no disrespect to either squads, just saying they are not on the same par as NW. NW has great leadership in Dennis, great creativity in Alex and amazing goalscoring threats with them and Ricky. Having lost last season in the 4A Quarterfinals to Northwestern 5-0, Mauldin will be hungry for revenge and play much better. Should be a tight and close game for much of it, but NW offense is too strong and will break down that Mauldin defense.
Prediction: NW 4 - 2 Mauldin
