It's May. Lets start talking about what really matters. Who's going to win state?

My personal predictions are that Irmo and Wando will again meet in the finals. Although, it's a far more difficult road to the championship this year. Teams like JL Mann and Mauldin in the Upper State, and Lexington and Fort Dorchester in Lower State all have a likely chance of pulling an upset. With that said, I think we can all agree that it'll be a far more interesting and competitive post season than past years.

In part because of a larger number of competitive programs, and in part because your Big Two aren't exactly on the boil right now.
Time to turn up the heat.

I don't think Lexington has a chance on pulling an upset, saw them play earlier in the year and didn't impress me one bit.

Barcelona...is it possible for you to ever say anything positive about a program? I just randomly checked about 5 of your posts, and the only program you gave props to was NW.....this is my shocked face(yes, sarcasm...I know it is hard to tell on this board sometimes)

I think everyone can say that this year could really get interesting in the playoffs. The two teams that should be playing each other on paper would be Irmo and Wando, but I don't know if either are going to make it to the finals if they don't both step it up. It is hard for me to figure on how BE beat Wando with the sheer talent that Wando has this year. Irmo getting beat by Lexington was interesting too...but the last time they met before that, Irmo only beat them 1-0.

I think there are 4 or 5 teams right now that have the ability to win state, it all depends on their desire to win. If you have a player or two with an off game, you better have someone step up to fill the gap...if not, you may be going home, no matter which team you are this year.

Mr. Gray I am not sure why you say the two teams that should be playing on paper are Irmo and Wando when JL Mann is ranked ahead of Irmo and also has lost one less game. Mann has scored 73 goals and given up 17 while Irmo has scored 72 and given up 18. So I don't really think this has anything to do with who is better on paper because they are pretty even if anything maybe even Mann has the slight advantage.I do though agree with you in saying that this year is truly up for grabs whoever is more hungry and makes the least amount of mistakes is going to win it.

Why are you only discussing 4A teams when teams from other divisions have consistently competed with and beaten even the best of 4A. Someone mentioned BE over Wando and Eastside beat Mann so the top two 4A teams lost to a 2A and 3A team-how about some respect for the other divisions

@Lvrpul, not to sound like a as*hole, but if you look above, 4A STATE PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS, I sure hope people talk only about that subject since it's the thread title.

But I think DF is flying under the radar, if you look, they are 5th in 4A and the goal thing is 69 Scored, 19 Against so the JL Mann vs DF will be good but lower state will be Wando. Upper state......?????

James, Barcelona10 by looking through his post history is either a Northwestern player, recent graduated player, or an adult from there with poor grammatical and sentence structure skills.
It would be very sad to be that negative towards everyone like that all the time. Best of luck to Barcelona10 in the future. By the way who won Region III AAAA this year?

Here is what I see as of now:

Greenwood vs.Brynes or Dorman
Northwestern vs. Laurens
JL Mann vs. TL Hanna
Dutch Fork vs. Rock Hill
Clover vs. Brynes or Dorman
Wren vs. Riverside
Irmo vs. Spartanburg
Mauldin vs. Easley

S. Aiken vs. Spring Valley
James Island vs. S. Florence
Fort Dorchester vs. N. Augusta
Carolina Forest vs. W. Ashley
Wando vs. Lugoff-Elgin
Lexington vs. Summerville
W. Florence vs. Blythewood
Ashley Ridge vs. Aiken

Some good possible matchups:
Mann vs Dutch Fork and Greenwood vs. winner
Irmo vs. Mauldin
S. Aiken Wando in possible 3rd clash

Irmo has tougher road than Wando and will be hard pressed I feel to reach finals.
