..doesn't this happen EVERY year? Geez..

Summerville has a 19-13-5 all-time record in the tournament and has participated every year since 1996. For the first time, we've not been invited back. Yes, we had a dreadful showing during the last tournament and probably couldn't be consideredd "elite" based on that alone. We did, however, reach the semifinal in 2005 and I expect to field a competitive team in the years to come. Best of luck to those involved. It looks like a very good field.

10 of the 21 highest rated boys teams of 2006 in South Carolina are scheduled to compete in next year's tournament:

#1 Northwestern, 4A
#3 Spring Valley, 4A
#5 Wando, 4A
#7 Fort Mill, 4A
#9 Lexington, 4A
#13 Dutch Fork, 4A
#15 Daniel, 3A
#16 Dorman, 4A
#20 Brookland-Cayce, 3A
#21 Pinewood Prep, SCISA
#48 Airport, 3A

Ed, regarding your comments on Summerville -- as you know it's very difficult to put together a quality field each year and we appreciate the Green Wave's participation in the past and hope SHS will join us again in the near future. However, some other programs have been "on hold" the past couple of years for various reasons and will be returning several high profile players and this is an opportunity for the Palmetto Cup to showcase these individual and team talents.

One small correction regarding Summerville's record in the Palmetto Cup -- it now stands at 19-17-5 over an 11-year span from 1996-2006 and that run includes a Runner-Up finish in 1997 and five other finishes amongst the top four teams.

How does Airport get to play ahead of Summerville? Is it just because they're right by BC? Good to see Pinewood get a shot though.

I think it is funny that you have Aiport is in the tourny but not riverside and greenville that will dominate sc soccer next year. The will atcually hang with Norman North, Christian brothers, Northwestern, and all the other good teams while Airport, Ocean Lakes, and Pinewood Prep wont stand a chance.

Fort Mill has agreed to join the 2007 field. The Yellow Jackets finished 21-4 this past spring and advanced to the Class 4A Quarterfinals. Coach Lloyd Chalker's Yellow Jackets have participated in the past two Palmetto Cup tournaments and have compiled a 5-1-2 mark.

As for the Airport issue: AHS is the "sister school" of Brookland-Cayce HS in Lexington School District Two. The Eagles have had an open invitation to join the Palmetto Cup since Eagle Stadium was first utilized as a tournament site in 1999. However, past coaching staffs at AHS have declined this invitation for a variety of reasons until last year. As long as the Airport HS campus is being used during the Palmetto Cup, then the Eagles will have the opportunity to join the tournament field in the future.

I'm sorry, but Riverside and Greenville will NOT hang with Norman North!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Kyle,

Who did Fort Mill replace?

Bishop England

You sure. I think Norman North probably graduated alot of their best players last year which came from the Celtic 88 club team in Norman, Oklahoma. They probably won't be quite as good as last year while Riverside and Greenville will both get better. They might not beat Norman North but I think they could hang with them.
