The good thing about S. Aiken is they have more then one player that can score at any time. Yes Jamal is without a doubt a high level player however S. Aiken has a hand full of players who have at least five goals. Ian Q. Joey S, Rob S, Craig G, Steven R, Branson H, even Jordan Q off the bench has a number of goals. Everyone has tried to stop Jamal all year some teams have and some teams have not but all but one team lost in the attempt. (Actually 2 SA did have a tie this year as well) The problem isn't stopping Jamal from scoring its stopping S.Aiken from Scoring. Commit to many players to Jamal and you will get burned by a number of other players don’t commit enough to stopping Jamal and he will burn you. The other side to the SA coin is Goose. THE BEST GK TO EVER COME OUT OF SC. Period... Lets not start blowing the A Moody horn. Moody is a good keeper and a smart player but no Mike G.
Phil Savitz is a proven expert at having his teams prepared for this game. The record speaks for itself. He has a very good team and has managed to win the big one with less talent then what he has this yr. SA beat them 2-1 earlier this season, which would be an advantage for Irmo. I would love to know if any team has ever-beat Irmo twice in one year. My guess is that it doesn't happen very often. Can SA be that team? We will find out. Good luck to both teams.
It will be a war! Can't wait to see who wins.
