original not orininal..my bad

I don't know what you mean when saying that certain teams get higher seeds over the years....how does that decide who gets seeded this year? Really 4 things go into deciding, overall record, strength of schedule, head to head, common opponents head to head. What difference does it make as far as last year's seeding?

If you cannot schedule teams to come to you, then you need to make your schedule so you can go to them. AJ may just need to schedule tougher teams but go to their place to play.

Seedings for lower state should look like this....

#1 BE
#2 Hanahan
#3 Waccamaw
#4 WH
#5 Barnwell

Academic Magnet should be the 1A Lower State #1 seed without question as Christ Church is in the Upper State. Lincoln needs to play a better schedule in order to get a better feel for how good they really are, but a 7 goal loss to AM tells me alot right there. I'm hoping for an AM/CC final.

Interested coach, what team do you coach?

Lower State 1A

#1 AM
#2 Lincoln
#3 GS
#4 Bamberg
#5 Blackville

The number 4 & 5 will be decided after the game coming up this week.

I agree....but putting GS as the 2nd seed ...They haven't made the Lower State final 2 years in a row for nothing. I just think they've played stiffer competition than Lincoln. Not taking anything away from Lincoln's season by any means....but I think Gov. School deserves the 2nd seed.

Thanks interestedcoach for giving us some credit as we should have won twice and Wade Hampton has played no one outside of their region. None of those teams are that good, because they play close game with bamberg who was terrible last year and we beat them 4-0 easily. However, I do not know anything about Wade Hampton seeing as how they have not played any one else, but I would not think they are as strong as Hanahan or Waccamaw.

I think I might have to agree with Chelsea Blues. Lincoln might be a decent team but hasn't really played anyone to prove it. They have played the #1 seed (which is #1 in 1A) for lower state twice and couldn't hang with them either time. GSSM has a stronger schedule but the 4 losses hurt. I think if Lincoln drops a game this week (which they probably will against Hanahan) GSSM should move back into the #5 spot and seeded #2.

interested coach- you said four factors go into deciding seeding. Overall record, strength of schedule, head to head, and common opponents. Wade Hampton, Bwell, S.B., did not play the teams from Waccamaw and hanahan. NOr did they play common opponents. So u have to look at overall record adn strength of schedule. WH has a better record, and a very hard schedule. Hanahan has a hard schedule, but like I said only won ONE of those games. My opinion is it is better, and should count for more, to win those tough region games, than to lose games. Wade Hampton and Barnwell have played tough games and have a high winning percentage, Hanahan is a .500 team which has lost all but one tough game.

Also, Andrew Jackson has beaten anyone either! Seedings should look like this
1. BE, 2. Waccamaw, 3. Wade Hampton, 4. Barnwell, 5. Andrew Jackson, 6. Hanahan, 7. Silver Bluff, 8. Edisto. Since the coaches for Andrew Jackson and Waccamaw are on the committe it will look like this.
1. BE, 2.Waccamaw, 3. Hanahan/A.J. 4. Hanahan/A.J., 5.WH, 6. Barnwell, 7.S.B, 8.Edisto
