emerald takes the win in PKs

2 things should be noted

(1) woodruff lost their top scorer tuesday night (torn ACL) so their play tonight was very impressive against emerald—both teams excelled

(2) the match had 3 refs—and they made this an excellent match!—it proves how important refs are in high school matches—they were excellent—

Purpleandyellow, sorry to here about your player, Woodruff was very impressive and I can see why you guys have been rolling over teams. I would like to say the track meet that was going on was very distracting to me as a fan and I would think to the players also. Thank you for not complaining about it because I probably would have.

The match was too well played to worry about the track meet! It is a real shame that match ended with PKs—hard to leave there with a loss—we really had to raise our level of play without our top scorer—Thanks for the kind words. Emerald is very well coached—and I still believe Emerald and Woodruff are the top 2 teams in the state—

congrats to berkeley. you guys have improved greatly in the past few years. Good luck with the rest of your season!

My compliments to West Ashley as well--we both came into this match with key players injured on the bench (Berkeley lost another to a sprained ankle during the match), but West Ashley proved that even wounded they are still dangerous. Great depth and character--they've had to play and pull together through some really tough breaks this season. Good luck to the WA girls in the games to come!

Now, saying that emerald and woodruff are the top two teams in the state, I assume that is coming from an extreme biased for one or both of the teams. While definantly giving woodruff credit for a good game, Fort Mill did beat them 8-0. So I can't see how they are the top two teams in the state. I will give you the top two teams in 2A. I'm still not impressed with a 10-7-2 record, i don't care how good the teams that BE plays, thats not a number one ranking. I mean please correct me if I'm wrong but that is like saying a pro team with a sub .500 record should have a first round bye and home field advantage all through the playoffs, because of their strength of schedule...please. Just like Fort Mill and Wando, Summerville obviously has a better record, why are they #4? Summerville beat HH 4-1, Ft. Mill only beat them 2-0. I'm from Ft. Mill, but i'm trying not to show a biased and prove that several teams should be ranked higher then they are.

Well I see BE has a game against Broughton (NC), so depending on how they do in that game, I may have to retract my statement, but until then thats, how I feel. Good luck to Woodruff and Emerald in the playoffs.
