Your thoughts on tonights matchup. And why is Socastee having to travel? Go Braves!

Nobody ask for directions Stroker!!!

Thats in another Thread!!!

That's a good question, why is Socastee having to trave with a better Win-loss record and a better seat in state ranking. Yea so both teams are first in their region but still, if the team is high ranked in the state and has a better win-loss record then they shouldn't have to travel. Am I the only one feelin this way?

Thanks 2004striker. Chapin should be coming to the beach tonight. Socastee had the better season as the rankings show. Maybe this will be a little motivation. I say Socastee wins tonight in hopefully one of the great matches of the year. Will they win State? Greenville might be a team of destiny considering their season. But I wouldn't bet against the Braves. The State should get used to hearing about Socastee because they should stay in the top 2 maybe 3 in the rankings the next two years. (need to stay healthy of course) By the way have not seen Chapin play, how good are they?

Striker,

Hosting goes by Region Rank and Both teams were #1 in their Region...

The tiebreaker is the bracket, which changes each year

"Higher Region Finish will always host Lower Region Finish. If two teams finish in the same position within their respective Region, the bracket will determine the host."

I think Haze can be the difference if and only if he is in goal. Socastee is too athletic and fast for Chapin's defense. Tyler Williams will have his hands full. Belair in the middle for Socastee is very talented, one of the best I've seen this year. Socastee should win but there defense is very suspect and their keeper is awful. I say Socastee wins 3-2.

That rule should be changed. Highest state ranking team should be hosting the semi's. Or the brakets should be laid out with highest ranking team on top.

i agree with socitome the game should be at home for the braves. also socastee definately has the talent to beat chapin tonight and win states. i dont think lack of talent will be an issue for they at all the question is will them put it together to perform two outstanding games. I believe they will as they have proved in the 2nd region game against North Myrtle Beach, coming back to win in overtime after being down by 2 that takes alot out of a team they also came back in the socastee BC game when losing by 1
MY PREDICTION: socastee:2 chapin:0
