What team will be the Champs this weekend in Columbia this weekend? Since Irmo and NW are in the same bracket this year who will be in the finals?

All I did was add an 'a' to Lake 'Murray' and take out an extra 'e' in 'Challenge' of the title.

The groups seem to be divided as to give great games early in the season. It should be interesting to see who comes out of group C. I do think that it is a shame that Norman North did not get their chance at Irmo last year with the team that they had, it would have been a good match. It will be a much anticipated match up since they were supposed to meet in the semis 2 years ago but Norman North had to make their plane trip back to Oklahoma. Group B on the other hand has 2 teams that are going to be battling to make it to the next round. Group A, it should be a landslide in the favor of Eastside.

Group A: Eastside(3-0) - Chapin(2-1) - James Island and North Augusta(0-2-1)

Group B: Dutch Fork and Dorman (2-0-1) - Myrtle Beach(1-2) - Ben Lippen(0-3)

Group C: Norman North(3-0) - Irmo and Northwestern(1-1-1) - Dreher(0-3)

Eastside, Dutch Fork, Norman North and Dorman receiving bids to the semis. Assuming they do not meet in the semis it will be Dutch Fork and Norman North in the finals with the win going to Norman North. Norman North is way too dominant and will leave SC this year with still only one loss recorded to their record.

I don't think that Eastside is as good as they were last year due to the loss of some good seniors. I'll even take Chapin in grroup A, even though an Eastside win wouldn't be a huge surprise.

I'll take Dutch Fork in B, but don't count out Dorman.

I think that NW is as solid as anyone and I'll take them for C and the championship.

I don't think James Island is going to lose 2 and tie 1. I expect that if they get to that point, they'll pick up a win. Ben Lippen hasn't gone 0-3 in the tournament the past 2 years, and I don't see this team as being a weak ben lippen team. Dreher shouldn't lose 3 games either. But hey...somebody has to i guess...we'll see. I for one am excited.

Norman was cleared by their State Association to play the whole tournament.

BEN LIPPEN IS MY HERO team.

Does anyone know the full schedule for the tournament? As in Saturday morning games and afternoon games as well as the championship on Sunday? I know the teams aren't decided yet but I'd like to know the times.
