136-8-3 ..that's pretty nuts.

I heard there might be a Lexington vs. NW game at this years palmetto cup. It would be fun to watch those to teams go at it again. Any truth to this?

The 2007 Palmetto Cup tournament schedule has been posted online at the Brookland-Cayce "Bearcat Soccer" website.

This is subject to change, but the information is what has been distributed to participating teams.

Group D

Yeah, no joke. Group D looks strong. Lexington and Northwestern are arguably the two favorites in the upperstate and from what I hear Pinewood Prep should be really good this year. But I don't know that Group B looks any less difficult. Norman North is always the favorite. Daniel should compete with Riverside and Greenville to be one of the strongest 3A teams. Wando looks to be on the the top teams in the Lowerstate and even with a dissapointing season last year, Dutch Fork should be competetive probably starting 9 or 10 seniors along with Danny Cates. Group C is solid with SV and Dorman (don't know what Farragut graduated) but it's pretty obvious Group A is the weakest judging by past Palmetto Cups showings by out of state teams and amount of talent and numbers lost at BC (not really sure about FM).

It's a shame that Riverside is going through another coaching change and will most likely miss out on applying for some of the top HS tournaments. Palmetto Cup looks like it will be a good one.

my picks on final group standings are:

1Fort Mill
2Ocean Lakes
3BC
4Kelly Walsh

1Norman North
2Dutch Fork
3Daniel
4Wando

1Spring Valley
2Farragaut
3Dorman

1Pinewood
2Christian Brothers
3Northwestern
4Lexington

I don't know much about the out of state teams. I don't have quite the confidence in Pinewood that you do, but I would like to see them do well.

Let see ...

Ocean Lakes don't know much about, I think they were in the tournament once before.

Kelly Walsh ... Did not impress last year

Norman North... quality, DF and Wando will have their hands full

Christian Bros... I believe they were ranked #7 in the HS region last year.

Farragut - depends on what they graduated

All in all quality level.

Easiest group - A
Hardest group - toss up B or D
Surprise team grp A - none
Surprise team grp B - Daniel
Surprise team grp C - Dorman (young team last year)
Surprise team grp D - not sure (NW not as strong)

Final - NN vs someone from grp D
