Chico... your chart... % pop of what? I do not get the same numbers with the assumptions I made based on your chart...

Tot pop 30,384,161 therefore Ga's pop would 27% of this number....

Soccaho, there are pros and cons to both types of roster set-ups, but I personally don't feel strongly enough about either one to go into detail (maybe someone else can comment on that). I was merely pointing out that it was a POSSIBLE reason why the ‘92 SC team(s) may not have looked as well-tuned as other teams - just a possiblity - I don't know what the other states did with their teams.

In my Atlanta example, from what I understood at the time (someone please correct me if I am wrong) the ‘92 SC teams had been split fairly evenly, while at least one of the older SC groups (maybe ‘90s?) had been split into an actual A team and a B team. I believe that the older group’s A team won the championship in their age group, while both ‘92 teams only did so-so (at least, they didn't win the championship).

Again, all I was suggesting is that some of the teams you witnessed playing might have appeared better or worse, depending on how they had been split up – and/or how their opponents had been split up.

Chico, you are absolutely correct. I think it may have even been you who pointed out not too long ago the population of Atlanta versus the entire state of SC. Theoretically, Atlanta by itself, should be able to produce teams as good or better than our ODP teams!

The 90's had people moving around a little the whole weekend, but they never made what I would call an A team. It looked to me as though both teams had a number of the players I remember from the state team last year. The 90's did very well this weekend. As a group, they went 4-1-1 with a 1-0 win over a nc team. I thought they looked ok for not having practiced together at all.

From what I've gathered:

Curious on scores for SC teams: (Please fill in the blanks)
89’s: v AL 2-0, v VA (???), v NC (???)
90’s SC1: v TN2 1-2, v AL (???), v NC2 (???)
90’s SC2: v AL 0-0, v WVA (???), v TN2 (???)
91's: v WV 5-0, v AL 5-0, v NC2 0-2
92’s SC1: v VA2 (???), v NC2 (???), v AL2 (???)
92’s SC2: v AL1 (???), v VA1 (???), v TN (???)
93's: v WV 1-0, NC4 1-2, v AL2 (???)

futbol(soccer): Thanks...corrected; sorry, my mistake (reordering the table cut out AL's population) -- pretty much the same conclusion.

90's SC1: W1-0 TN, W5-0 AL, W1-0 NC, Record 3-0
90's SC2: L1-2 AL, T0-0 WVA, W3-1 TN, Record 1-1-1

The coach of the 90's moved 2-3 players around every game. For example Enzo played on the team that played the SC1 schedule the first 2 games but not the third. I think the coach did a good job of moving the players around and getting everyone a look during the games.

92’s SC2: v AL1 (2-1 W), v VA1 (0-3 L), v TN (3-3T)

SC2 won their first game Saturday 2-1 in miserable conditions. They lost 3-0 to VA.1 in an uninspired game. Finally they tied TN 3-3 when TN blocked our goal kick and scored in the final seconds. Literally the last 10 seconds of the game. The soccer by the SC2 92's was not very pretty all weekend but the weekend was for evaluation not competition. I am just not sure how much true evaluation could be garnered in Saturday's conditions?

I defer to Mr. Eudy on the actual score of the Al contest!

from my previous post 89's beat Va 2-1 and I believe lost to NC but do not know the score. Other scores told me have been shown in other posts.
