No, history will not repeat itself. Northwestern is definitely not a favorite to return to the Championship. They lost too much of their talent and leadership to logically be considered as a front runner. On the other hand, Irmo has enough talent, leadership, and determination to win it all for the third straight year. Rumor has it that this team could be one of the best in Irmo history. They have thirteen seniors(if all of the juniors from last year's roster make the team and no additions), a solid core of juniors, and a couple of freshmen that will look to make the roster. This information is all what I've heard, though, none of it is concrete. My prediction for the state final will be Irmo v. South Aiken. These two teams play each other in their first regular season match(should be interesting).
