Chico, My question was a deliberate attempt to bring attention to the fact that Dorman is loaded with Carolina FC girls. 8 of the 11 that started against Lexington are either playing with CFC or did until last year.

Sarah Robinson - CFC
Chelsey Willett - CFC
Jackie DeJonckheere - CFC
Julia Chapman - CFC
Maggie Bond - CFC
Tori Danielson - CFC
Nathalie Emplit (CFC - switched to CESA last year)
Jennifer Emplit (CFC - quit playing last year)

Carmen Osorio - CESA
Alix Zongrone - CESA
Hannah Chapman - CESA

Dorman's success is certainly a reflection of the training the team has received at CFC. My compliments to Justin Collett, Nestor Chacon and the other CFC coaches.

props CFC

I thought that was what you were up to. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm glad my response gave you the mechanism you needed to praise your club. By the way, I heard from someone that there are 10 players total on the Dorman squad from CFC.

I've never thought of using this metric before as a club measurement; it's interesting and I'll have to give it some thought. The only thing I had seen before was stuff like number/percentage of all-state players and the like.

Congratulations (once again) to Dorman and to Dorman's players.

These stats are meaningless. Players move from club to club for many reasons and sometimes, more than once. UIHWKI must be affiliated with the CFC club. He/she is praising two club coaches and doesn't even credit the HS coach for anything. Also the following was omitted (voluntarily?): those same two coaches coach the majority of the Spartanburg HS team and look at their record. Will he/she blame the SHS coach for that? Bottom line: if someone wants publicity for their club, I don't think this is the proper place and, if it is, please, at least present both sides of the coin.
If you want metrics for club measurement, look at how many “serious” tournaments they attend, how many they won, how many times they won a state cup, etc…

Hurst,

Sorry for the late game report had to be up at 2:45 AM on Wednsday so I went straight to bed.

First off let me congratulate the Irmo Girls and coaching staff for a game well played and well won.

The game started off with Irmo winning most 50/50 balls. The Irmo team as whole had great team speed and their tenacity was endless. Irmo notched their first goal on a corner kick. The ball was curled into the net at the near post off the kick. There seemed to be a comunication breakdown between the keeper and defenders as noone attacked a ball driven about chest high. The next Irmo goal also came on a corner kick when the Wando team failed to clear a ball knocked down in the box. I was told by several players that this was actualy an own goal but I couldn't tell in the midst of bodies. Irmo continued to win most of the balls in the first half. Number 7 (Brittany H played well but was well defended by Wando) Irmo's right forward #9 I beleive had an incredible game, her speed helped create both the corners Irmo scored on. She turns the corner better than any player I've seen in the high school ranks.

Halftime 2-0

The second half saw Wando possess the ball for the most part. Irmo compressed the defense and dropped # 11 behind the backs a bit deeper. # 11 effectively cleared almost every ball that came into the box. #9 for Irmo managed to get around the corner and slotted a great shot to the far post for Irmo's third goal.

The Wando girls pressed hard and never quit til the final whistle. Hats off to Wando for a great season and Congratulations to Coach Shannon Champ for a job well done in her inaugural campaign.

Good luck to Irmo in the Final keep the streak of Lower Sate Champions going. You are by far the best team Wando faced all year.

Thank you MR. You saved me from scouring the internet for a link to a Charleston newspaper.

Sounds like it was just Irmo's night and they earned it. Good luck to them.

Wando will be back.....incredibly loaded at the 8th grade/U-14 level.

sakka, You're a little touchy today!!! Dorman's Coach Lorenz has done a terrific job. Without his coaching ability and leadership skills Dorman wouldn't be in the state playoffs. Did I mention that he was a CFC coach as well!!!!

Not touchy at all! Just trying to make things clear. Yes, Mr. Lorenz is a CFC coach and that is exactly my point: why didn't you mention his name instead of the other two?

I'll pull for Irmo since they're from Columbia and represent the Lower State amidst all these up-state folks!

Congrats to both Irmo and Dorman. Hope history continues... Go lower state... Go Irmo! But then again Go Carmen Osario.... (Sp)
