WE MEANT TO POST THIS DURING THE WEEKEND. WE'LL HAVE MORE, BUT AM LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT.

Two weeks have passed since the SCHSL and SCISA State Championships were held in Columbia and listed below are some notes, stats, and miscellaneous information compiled during the 2006 season.

BOYS

***4A State Champion Northwestern tied the boys state record for victories in a season with 26 ... The Trojans finished 26-2-0 and tied 3A Brookland-Cayce, which posted a 26-2-1 mark in 2001 ... The state title was the first for Northwestern after finishing as Runners-Up in 2003 and 2004.

***Spring Valley made its first State Championship appearance since 1988 and the Vikings finished as Runners-Up for the fourth time (1982, 1987, and 1988) ... SVHS faced the Palmetto State's toughest schedule in 2006 according to the Massey Ratings.

***Riverside maintained the Upper State's stronghold on the Class 3A State Championship as the Warriors collected the program's sixth 3A title since 1993 and Riverside's 11th overall ... No Lower State team has captured the state title in Class 3A since the inception of this championship in 1993.

***Dreher returned to the State Finals for the first time since 1999 (3A) and the third time overall (1992, 3A/2A/1A) ... The Blue Devils tallied a school-record 21 wins this spring and won the Region 5-3A title for the second time in three seasons ... This region (Airport, Brookland-Cayce, Chapin, and Strom Thurmond) qualified as the second toughest conference in the state regardless of classification behind only Region 5-4A, which featured playoff teams Spring Valley, Irmo, Dutch Fork, Ridge View, Richland Northeast, and Lower Richland.

***Bishop England won the Class 2A State Championship for the second-straight year and for the third time overall since 2001 (first year of a solo 2A State Championship) ... The Battling Bishops have appeared in all six 2A State Finals ... In addition, BE has now won 10 State Championships since 1984 and have qualified for the state title match 16 times.

***Walhalla made its first trip to Columbia for the Class 2A State Championship after claiming the Upper State crown ... The Razorbacks ended Emerald's two-year reign as Upper State Champions.

***In Class 1A, Lincoln became the fifth team in six seasons to represent the Lower State in the title match ... Only Buford of the Lower State has appeared more than once in the 1A State Championship, while the Upper State opponent was once again Christ Church, which won the Championship for the sixth consecutive year ... The Cavaliers are now 7-0 in State Championshp appearances as CCES won the Class 2A/1A crown in 1996 and every 1A title since 2001.

***Just 10 teams reached the 20-win plateau this spring ... In 4A, five teams (Northwestern, Spring Valley, Wando, Hilton Head, and Fort Mill) posted 20 or more victories and five squads (Riverside, Dreher, Daniel, Greenville, and North Myrtle Beach) from the 3A ranks hit that number as well.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc., about this past spring please reply in this thread and I'll check back accordingly. We'll have a girls release as well in time.

Thanks Kyle...very interesting stats...you are a HUGE asset to soccer in South Carolina.

My hat is off to you!!!!

yea man, dont know where you get all this time to do this, but thanks for the info!

Man, you look at that toughest schedule section and you see a few state finalists!

Or do you see all of them?

One side note for 2A, Jasper County(only 5th year soccer program) had its first ever playoff appearance this year and they advanced to the second round, eventually losing 2-0 to the Battling Bishops. Also, Jasper County only allowed 17 goals this season.

i care.

because any advancement in south carolina high school soccer should be commended.

1 playoff appearance doesnt get you commended, if you do it again, then maybe.

Yo SCS, for a young program like ours we're proud of our accomplishments, especially with our school's history in soccer. u wanna hate, u're more than welcome to cuz it really dont phase me none. Im not trying to brag about JC, im just lettin everyone know wassup in scsoccer so they can see how soccer is getting more competetive. No u sound like u mite be intimidated, but so what i let babies run their mouth cuz all that shows is concern n fear in ya bud. N thanks for the prop, now u know about us

i am intimidated by no one!!! congrats on making it to the playoffs, now do it again and a lot more people might start talking about yall!

I hear ya man, trust me, we will n u might see a lot of surprise upsets next year in soccer all around, not just us

scskeeper, I care. That is an accomplishment. I do not understand your attitude. jaguarsfutbol, congratulations on your squad's first playof appearance.

THE REAL HENRY you are just mad that you lost to BARCA!!!

stop yelling at me...ahhh!!!

you deserve it, you are just bad! maybe if you learn to pass the ball a little more, you team might actually score some, instead of you trying to do everything on you own!

Y u jumpin on Henry? Barca was just a better team

he started it!

O well

yea thats right.

I do what I can.

actually Henry BLEW the championship game by missing two WIDE OPEN opportunities that should've been goals in the bank.
just for clarification.

Its bad enough he has to live with that just leave him alone, maybe, just MAYBE he can make up for it in Germany

For all you haters:

JUST WAIT!!

I used to go to school with scskeeper and I want to apologize. He never keeps his mouth shut about things in which he knows nothing about or about things e does know about. Jared, the guy was simply stating an accomplishment his team had achieved, give him a freakin break. I haven't posted on here since I was in high school and granted, it is fun to smack talk when you're actually still playing, and then - to teams you play. I would always make fun of those people in college who still had time to come on here and argue over teams in which they no longer played on. I'm not coming on here to start talking about how scs is better than everyone, I did that when I went there, and that was proven in how we did that season. Personally scs was weak this year, and to differ from what scskeeps said, I do not believe even with losing only 2 seniors next year, they are going to be strong. it will be a while before scs has a decent soccer program. I've sat back and watched the posts this year, and just wanted to hop on and apologize for scskeeper's brainless and nonsensical comments.

AliCruzco, it is good to hear that someone who played with him can't stand his mouth either!

I like how scskeeper started this argument for no reason. Well, actually, it's because no one really cares about his opinions, especailly when they are remarkably redundant and uncalled for.
Scskeeper is an idiot.

alicruzco, i am sorry you had to go to school with that kid, he seems like such an idiot!

SCSkeeper, why dont you just be quiet. No one wants to hear what you have to say. Weve had to look at your crap for 3 years and were tired of it. Just go to college and stop talking on a high school website.

i think he has been banned, so i dont think he will be on here anymore!

I think we need to stop talking about that good for nothing jerk!! Oh yeah I heard from a reliable source that sckeeper did not get a scholarship to play soccer at North Greenville!! He's not even on the roster!! Hahaha

what are you talking about, i am not scskeeper. i would never want to be asociated with a kid that ugly. why would you ever say that?

Nice try but inside sources say otherwise.

oh..this is sad.

what are yall talking about i am not scskeeper!

Regardless, that is pitiful that he can't get a scholarship at North Greenville much less be on the roster. Good call out Samuel L.

that is quite sad!

for the record i am not SCSKEEPER, my name is Brandon Howard!

..his name is Robert Paulson.

..his name.. is Robert Paulson.

who's name?

his name is robert paulson...
his name is robert paulson...

fight club...brilliant

I saw this in Southern Soccer Scene and thought I'd join. I had no idea S.C. had their own high school website. My bad I guess! Look forward to lurking in the future!
