Spartanburg shouldn't be #3 and Clover shouldn't be unranked. These teams are evenly matched. Spartanburg has benefited the most of any AAAA team from the realignment. Were they still in Region II, they would be unranked.
The following should shed some light on their #3 ranking, the 4-0 loss to Mauldin in pre-season, the loss to Riverside, the loss to Woodruff, and the 2nd Mauldin match that wasn't played on March 22.
This far into the season Spartanburg shouldn't be ranked 3rd in the state after losing 4-0 to a Mauldin team that is SOMEHOW ranked lower than them.

"Spartanburg shouldn't be #3 and Clover shouldn't be unranked."
I stand by my previous post.
Don't think this was the game of the week, though.

The game was for first place in the region standings. It involved the #3 team in the state against a very good (apparently under-rated) opponent.
Not too many games this week had more on the line.

Hurst,
On paper it was a doozy, I'll give you that.
Except for the fact that no one could argue that Spartanburg deserved a #3 ranking unless they had humiliated Clover last night, but they didn't. Spartanburg lost. The loss should rightfully drop Spartanburg from the top 10. The loss should help Clover get ranked in the top 15 again.
The loss actually weakens the region, which in turn makes the game LESS meaningful.
