SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer 1A/2A seeding prediction

Lincoln is a very well coached team with quality players in most positions. Their only problem is numbers. They only have 14 players on the team. One key player has a leg injury (Center Back)and the other, Terrence Deas, a forward is also not playing at this moment. Terrence a member of the South Carolina Squad in the Clash of the Carolinas, and his team play a very fast paced game, with quick counter-attacks. Any coach would be lucky to have these quality players on their team. These players are very passionate about the game and never quite. With their speed and skill they can never be counted out. With their full squad back in time for the play-offs look for another strong run and return to the State Finals.

I agree with you on that #7. N ithink i know who u r now............but neways, if Barnwell does beat hampton, then they should certainly get the 3 seed, or no lower than 4.

jaguar,
I was looking at the combined opponent's records of the upper state 2a schools that are ranked and out of the bunch Wahalla has the opponents with the best wins loss record.

Yeah walhalla does seem to have the tougher schedule upstate

So are you trying to make a point that Walhalla should be the #1 seed instead of Emerald? Cuz if you are I can see your point and I would agree with you. Althrough, some of the teams that are below .500 that Emerald plays are in their region, so that don't really have a choice but to play them.

Walhalla's region opponents are almost identical in w/l totals.

#7, the same could be said for the four matches that Walhalla has to play against West-Oak (2-12) and Abbeville (3-13). As a result of region play Walhalla begins with a -22 W-L compared to the -26 Emerald begins with as a result of region play. This means Walhalla's non-region opponents have a W-L differential of +45 compared to Emerald's +10. I'm not trying to angle for any team to get any particular seed, I'm just shedding light on the discussion.

Opponents W/L as of 4/22 (upstate teams with winning records only):

Walhalla +23
Pendleton -4
Emerald -16
Batesburg-Leesville -18
Mid-Carolina -23
Palmetto -33
Broome -51

Looks like Lincoln locked up the #3 seed this weekend.

If you look at what counts for seedings (i.e. shoot out wins = tie and tournaments don't count) they have a loosing record.

If Bamberg hadn't played Thomas Sumter, Lakewood, Edisto, or Strom Thurmond they could have gotten the 1 seed...

What if Jasper beats Wade Hampton and Barnwell loses to Wade Hampton? That would put Wade Hampton, Barnwell, and Silver Bluff in a 3 way schedule tie in the region (5-3).

Barnwell beating Silver Bluff both times
Silver Bluff beating Wade Hampton Both times
So far, Wade Hampton beating Barnwell once (possibly twice)

It could be interesting to see what comes of this situation. This will be a fun week to follow.
