What games did you see that you would consider the best of the season?

I was just about to steal this topic from the girl's forum!

I was lucky enough to make it out to a good many matches this year.

Irmo - NW
BL - DF
BL - NW
DF - Eastside
Chapin - NN
LE - WK
SV - Wando
NW - Daniel
BC - S. Anchorage
Irmo - Daniel
LE - Seneca
SV - RV
(i think that's it)

I have to say by far the best match..was Daniel vs Irmo. At first it seemed like Irmo would be too much for Daniel.. first 15-20 Irmo just pounded and pounded. Were down a goal in the first 3 minutes. Just didn't look good. But the Lions persevered and made a game out of it. Two distinct styles battling eachother toe to toe. Great individual talent and team play on BOTH sides. Great saves..great shots.. intensity..seven goals.. and of course.. bombardment in the last 3 minutes with the last second shot to tie just over the crossbar.

Distant 2nd would be SV - Wando.. then DF - Eastside in 3rd.

what about the riverside/greenville game, or the NW/FM game?

well ive only been to like two games that werent dreher games so these are all dreher games:
vs Northwestern--preseason game so it was sloppy but the pk finish was intense

vs Lexington--great comeback for dreher and another intense pk finish

both bc games--one last second finish and one pk finish...looking foward to another terrific and intense match wednesday with the lowerstate title and a chance to play for state on the line.

Friday night 1A girls games - AMHS versus Waccamaw

decided in the rain in the last minute of golden goal overtime on a header by a freshman

Certainly the Greenville vs. Riverside and Daniel vs. Eastside games in the playoffs were among the top 5 games of the season. I mean they both lasted 110 minutes and go into pk's with both having high scores during regulation and overtime. Also their is a little 3A upperstate rivalry involved in all of them. And the Eastside vs. Dutch Fork game was very exciting also going into overtime with some great goals.

The Eastside midfield made that match special for me (EHS/DF)..the shots Rengifo took..were just SICK! And the fact that they lost..that's just soccer right there.. definitely the best pre-season match I saw.
