Striker and Shearer: didn't Aiken beat both S. Aiken and Irmo? Why aren't they included in your top 10? Also Shearer, I have played Emerald this year, and seen them play other games, and unless they drastically improved in the last 8 weeks, I can't imagine them being ranked ahead of Northwestern or Ridge View, or even in the top ten for that matter. They are a very strong 2A team, but do you think they could even beat any of the four teams you have in the #10 spot? I wouldn't bet on it.

Shearer, are you sure that Wando should be at #1? They are like Socastee, and have a weak schedule. They won't really play anyone until the playoffs. I don't disagree that they are a top 5 team. And I see that you left Aiken off of the top 10, any reason for this? I am not an Aiken fan, but they deserve to be up there. Here is the list that I would have....

1) Irmo
2) Wando
3) Aiken
4) Riverside
5) Summerville
6) Hilton Head
7) South Aiken
8) BE
9) Dutch Fork
10) Daniel

The only reason that I put Irmo on top is because they have really stepped it up lately, and I just don't believe that there is a team that can stop them right now. If they played Aiken now, I would say that they would beat them 3-1. But then again, everyone can have a bad game every now and then. Hopefully Irmo had that bad game for the year against Aiken.

You all have valid points. I put Emerald in there b/c the have won 11 staright and deserve some credit. They man-handled Greenwood last night who is leading their respective region.

Aiken is hoe hum. If the play they should be inthe top ten. BUT Dreher jumped up and bit them the other night.

I give Wando the edge here due to the number of upper classmen they have. Irmo is a GREAT team BUT lack of QUALITY upper classmen will hurt them come playoff time.Another reason I like Emerald. I might be wrong there but all those teams after 5 could swap out.

Riverside could very well be the best team in SC! The main thing that bothers me about them is their finishing abilities.

Just my humble opinion.

Aiken has not played enough games; only half as many as other teams. Loss to Dreher hurt them in rankings. They need to win out to be considered a top team. Emerald does not play anyone at all.
Northwestern is hot now and if they win out, will be my favorite for 4 A state champ because they have so many seniors.

good point. They have a "wild card" in their GK!!!!!

"They need to win out to be considered a top team"

Ha. Not sure what all you fags have against Aiken, but we've done enough already to prove we're a "top team". That's fine, though. No one expected anything from us last year either.

Noone expected anything from Aiken last year and again they failed to make it to the state finals. Aiken is a team that always has the talent to get far in the playoffs but never finishes strong enough to be considered a powerhouse.
