Not sure I agree, in one sense.
If I recall the bracket correctly, Wando plays L-E first. Then, the winner of Lexington (loss) and Summerville (OT win). There would then be the possibility of a third-round match with AR (OT loss). In other words, 2 of the 3 teams they've lost to are in their 8-team pod.

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.
How many teams can say they beat Irmo and Wando this year? Or any year? Lexington can and did this year. Sure Wando was down their Academy players, but a win is a win. But will agree they often look bad.
Speaking of Lex v. Summerville, rumor is that Joe Amon will be back to play in playoffs. Is this true? How can this be with the transfer rules?
Score is Silver, Art is Gold!

Joe Amon has been playing all season, far as I know.

Anyone who has seen wando play knows they will mkae it to state , what happens there is a mystery, last year wando pulled of an amazing upset , this year who knows what could happen. JL Mann is also a very dangerous team (calloway Jones, Rider,Watson) , as well as Fort D witht the likes of Lameroux Eads and Bauknight. yet its safe to say all of wando and irmos losses (apart from palmetto cup final where wando was clearly the better team) they controlled the game and simply didnt put away numerous chances.

Wouldn't surprise me if NEITHER Irmo nor Wando made it. Not to say they won't, or shouldn't. I just know how hard it is to get there, and how many ways there are to fall short. The best team doesn't necessarily win. The team that dodges 5 straight bullets wins. In other words, the best team for the next 2 weeks.
Period.

You're assuming a bit too much. Your last sentence does describe the Wando-Lexington game. However, I watched two of Irmo's losses. Understandably exhausted with the quick turnaround in the Palmetto Cup, they didn't control their game with Norman North. And IMO they didn't control their second game with Lexington. In that one, both teams had some good chances, and only Lexington put one away.
All that said, an inspired, fresh Irmo team could go a long way in the playoffs.

Irmo is dangerous. They have a handful of playmakers, an excellent long-throw specialist, and enough big bodies to create havoc. I don't attach any particular significance to the Palmetto Cup, given some unique circumstances that won't be duplicated in the state playoffs. Same can be said for Wando, by the way. They parlayed a huge roster into a comparatively fresh side for Game 5 (in 4 days) in the Cup. The schedule is much more measured, and forgiving, in the playoffs.
