Irmo - Fort Mill should be a great match Friday night. I'll be in attendance.

One last note on the Irmo v. West Ashley scrimmage. I don't think irmo is getting credit for saturday's 0-0 draw. Yes, the starting keeper wasn't there, but since irmo didn't score i'm guessing that never came into play. Secondly, WA's tactics probably looked a lot like how they will play all year. Play the ball long out of the back, bypass the midfield and get the ball to julie bolt and alexus brothers to combine with each other. Those 2 players were there and they combined really well at times. I think irmo's defense is potentially a force to be reckoned with in the state. As dennis miller says, "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong." Good luck to everyone as they head into the viking cup this weekend.

KC --
I was sorry I had to miss the WA - Irmo scrimmage but did hear that Bolt and Brothers played well together. WA, like most teams while basketball season is still in effect, is playing with less than their full starting squad. I will be surprised if their chief offensive strategy is long ball to the forwards when the full lineup is present. Best of luck to Irmo, at least 'til playoffs...

An aside regarding Viking Cup. When was the last time the winning team in Viking Cup won state at the 4A or 3A level? Help.

Agreed. I do not think the results of the Viking Cup are even close. That would be a very interesting side-by-side comparison over the last 3-4 years.
A lot of people make way too much of the preseason. Look at the NFL. The top four teams in the NFL finished last in the preseason. Heck, even us Carolina Football fans can get excited about the preseason.

And Chapin actually beat Mauldin in the Tournament, but lost to Ridgeview. And if I remember correctly everyone was already planning DF and Spartanburg crowning after the Viking Cup. Two hours later trying to figure out how to tab on this site.

I believe Mauldin won it the year before that (or maybe two) during an almost perfect season. Perhaps that was the "Year of The Jersey".

One thing for sure, if you go 0-3 and you are a 4A team, it's tough to recover.
I noticed that Wando's girls basketball team did not qualify for the state playoffs. This should guarantee that we see a representative Wando squad unless they have girls tied up in club tournaments.
Does anyone know if they will be fielding their "A Team"?

An interesting thought is how most competitive girls teams have at least one player they are waiting for from the basketball team. I don't recall very many boys teams waiting for players.
