Looks like a crowd is assembling in the parking lot. Couple of tailgating tents around. Pitch is holding up well. They have taken the lines out a couple of yards either way. Chance for Eastside as I'm typing.

Upper State in A boys is quite strong and Lower State quite weak. The three private schools in Greenville will always compete for that championship.
Aside from the talent gap in the Eastside-HHI girls match I think all the other games were fairly even and could have gone either way. Wando girls were impressive as well but struggled in the final third.
Match upcoming with plenty of story lines if you even look at high school soccer. Coach Savitz with a chance to go out on top in his final game against a school he will be coaching players from next year. Irmo Lexington Round 3.

Lower State just seems dominant this year. So much for the Upstate mystique.



Don't forget that Fort Mill went from 3a to 4a this year.

Last year the boys were state champs at 3a and the year before the girls were upper state champs. So that is quite a bit of talent dropping off from the upper state 3a teams.

As for 4a: Wando is competing against teams half its size so it winning should not be a surprise.

And the real question is this: if you rank the top 10 boy and girl teams in the state how many are upper and how many are lower?

I think the 'mystique' is based more on the fact that the upper state has a LOT of high quality teams as opposed to them being able to win the whole thing.

Look at the 3rd round of the playoffs:
One the upper side you had the 2,3,4 and 8th ranked teams. And NAFO is only ranked 8th because it lost the 4th and 7th team two times each.

On the lower you had 5, 6, 9, 11th ranked team.

I think it is safe to say that the upper is much stronger overall even if the south is winning the championships.

Just a quick thanks for the updates. For those of us unable to watch in person or on TV, it's been nice to have a play by play.

MT4ME,

Just glad to promote the high school game for those who couldn't watch it live. Saw nobody was providing updates and figured I would fill the gap.

Overtime starting right now.

I wouldnt say dominant -2a was a golden goal game , 3A was an even match save for a questionable call late in the game, and 4A is going to PKs. The only dominant team was 1A

Wages with a great save. Shot for Irmo to win. Gossett for the win. Saved but the ball trickles in over the line. Looked like he thought it was saved but it spun over the line for a goal. WOW.

Congrats to Coach Savitz. Sometimes the soccer gods smile on you sir. Well deserving win and good luck at River Bluff next year. Unlucky Wildcats. First title appearance and what a game it was. You guys will be a force for years.

Did no one else think the forward rotation of that ball stopped the moment it was deflected by the keeper? It was hard to see on the live stream, but the way it appeared that should've been a dead ball kick over the moment the forward rotation stopped ie when the keeper saved it.

What a way for the State Championship Weekend to end! Good games all around. Enjoyed today. Referees were questionable during certain games, but overall not bad. 3A Championship refs were a great crew. Congrats to all participants in the games today!

In FIFA it doesn't matter if the forward momentum is spent or not. In FIFA, its up to the referee to decide when the kick is over.

You are correct on one the the refs were questionable, but in all of the games- especially the 3A game they were horrible- go to Greenville on line and view the 200+ photos of the game. You will obviously see that the game deciding call didnt occur the ref reacted to the opposing teams players- you will also see some horrible fouls that werent even called-or as the person who was blogging the game termed them "questionable non calls". The 3A game was evenly matched and should have been decided on the field not by the ref

You can't see any handball in any of the pictures. And to be honest a still photograph is not going to justify a play on the field.

What a great job by the Staff at Gilbert High School hosting the Finals. There were lots of bad comments on why this school was selected for these finals and painted such a negative picture of this facility. The only people-players-coaches-fans-parents etc. that didn't come to this event are now the only one's complaining. There were some very good matches Friday and Saturday with several going the full distance to be decided by kicks from the mark. Thanks to all the volunteers who gave up there time to help make this a great venue from start to finish. Kudu’s to AD Barry Harley who put in some late hours getting the complex ready and also lining the field and yes they were very straight. You don't see that very often.

But if you look at the film, from what I was told, you do see the arm move towards the ball and the ball rolls up the player's forearm and arm.

Facilities in Gilbert are great, however the field is too narrow I would have liked to see the 3a and 4a games on regulation size field there were very talented players that could have done more with the appropriate space

HH had some skilled players and I was impressed with the midfield play of lexington.

#4 from Hilton Head dribbled across the eighteen from left to right against #2 for Eastside. He attempts a shot and #2 semi blocks the shot. I think it was just a reaction from #15 from Eastside, but he sticks his left arm out. The ball hits his left front forearm and bounces right in front of him. Based on the video (WYFF video) #2 and #18 for Eastside look like they kind of know it was a handball.
They have the replay of all the games on the schsl.tv website. I guess you can make your own determination.

That was so close you could argue either way on the call.

By the letter of the law, yes it is a hand ball.

By the spirit of the law, wow, it is really tough to have that be the outcome of a match, let alone a state championship. Especially if the kid is only a yard in the box, and it comes off of a rebound like that.

The referee did a good job selling the call, if you slow the video down and then pause it, he is the only one signaling for a handball, none of the HHI players are.

In my 25+ years of experience I wouldn't call it, however, I can't argue against it being called as well.

Certainly looks like a hand ball on the video replay.

Although the quality is bad. The kid reacted before the whistle so I think he knew it was a hand ball.

Tough call though. He certainly didn't gain advantage off it especially since it bounces right back to the Hilton Head kid.

That is why the pro's put their hands behind their backs when in the box. Last thing you want is to lose a game over and inadvertent hand ball in the box.

Do you know what the dimensions of the Gilbert fields were for the Championship games? What are the dimensions of the field that your team normally plays on?

Gilbert's pitch measured between 63-64 yards in width (about 5-6 wider than regular season) and 114-116 yards in length.

The final PK that was almost saved but rolls in in the Irmo/Lex game has gone "viral." ESPN tweeted it earlier and also the website 101 great goals is now promoting the video as well. Pretty cool.
