Who do you think will have the best shot at winning state next year? and why? Lets not talk about teams that will improve and will be good, only realistic state championship teams. I think possibly Socastee Eastside and Riverside...

SoccaPapa1 i would have to agree with you on the choice of teams picked. I also think it will be either eastside or socastee but I think riverside may give eastside a run for there money. I say eastside for 3A state

Chapin and Socastee will meet for lower state again, and Eastside and Riverside will play for the upper state championship.

Well it depends on if Eastside and Riverside get first and second place because if one get 3rd then they will meet the round before upperstate

unless they change the playoff seeding then eastside and riverside will probably meet before upperstate finals since they are in the same region.

yea nevermind... but the way seedings work is a joke... how does Dreher get #2 seed and Eastside #6 and Riverside #3... they need to do it by state rankings not by region ranking, bc the best region is the one with eastside riverside and mann... ddrogba and petercrouch seem like they agree on everything, thats cute

If you look at Irmo's returning team they are only losing two starters. If Irmo can find a goalie and stay out of trouble than i think Irmo could win their region and play for a state championship.
I agree that the seedings should be by state rank or the high school league should rank the regions. This will make to playoffs lot more realistic because the best teams will not have to play against each other.

I say Northwestern makes a run for it again, but comes up short in the end. I think a different state champion in 4A. In 3A, Greenville/Eastside/Riverside will likely battle a very good Chapin team. Its harder to pick this one. I think Chapin will be pretty good next year. Socastee will also be tough again, but I think Chapin beats them. BC may be tough as well, they were young this year. However I dont think theyre quite as strong. There coach always has them ready though. In 2A, BE again. in 1A, i dont know that much about these teams. SCISA, PP of course, although they lose some good players. Look for Cardinal Newman and Hammond coming out of the upstate.

Sebastian has already enrolled at Eastside and he already has his classes. The question is if hes moving... if he cant move he will have to sit out the season and play his senior year

Chapin is only losing 4 seniors. Rumor has it, and i emphasize on the whole rumor part that the returners from Dutch Fork are enrolling at Chapin next year. But remember that is only rumor. Chapin will also have a strong back hopefully returning to the squad. Look for Chapin next year to make a strong run at the Lowerstate Final once again. Good luck to all other teams who have their eyes set on the 2008 State Championship.

In 4A Lexington returns several rising seniors. With Andrew, Reel, and Tanner in goal, look for Lexington to be very strong next year. Spring Valley will also be strong. They will need to replace Davis in goal and Eamon out on the flanks but with Sean, Parker, Antoine, and Zach coming back, they still have a very strong group of core players. There is a good chance they could three peat as lower state champions. Irmo will also be very dangerous. They lose defender/midfielder Garrett Lay and Patrick de St. Aubin in goal but return everyone else. I expect Daniel Lynch to have another outstanding year along with Jugal Dalal. I know these are all midlands teams but living in Columbia, these are the teams I am subjected to the most. It looks like 2008 will be a very competitive year as far as midland teams are concerned with the exception of Dutch Fork. I think they lose just way to many people to compete regularly with the Lexington's, Spring Valley's, and Irmo's of next year.

A word advice for kcr4ray, if you hope to play varsity for Northwestern it is probably best you do not post on this board. Northwestern's coach does not allow his players to do so.

Sounds like most of ya'll are right on with this. From the upperstate it will definately be Eastside and Riverside. Greenville will be a fairly close third if they have Sebastian. If they don't they will be very soft. Likewise Eastside will be hands down the best if they have Sebastian. If they don't, I still think they will win upperstate with the talent they have. But Riverside will be a very close second. And if Riverside can play up to their talent level, I would not be surprised at all if they win upperstate. It doesn't matter when EHS and RHS play in the playoffs, but whoever wins will win the 'ship. Greenville will suffer badly from the loss of all their seniors unlike Eastside did this year. Lowerstate will probably be Socastee or Chapin but they will get it handed to them in the finals. Moral of the story, I have my money on the boys from Eastside. In fact, I will go ahead and say they will get back to back championships.

From the info that I have...
4A Lowerstate... SV, Wando, although I'm not sure that either of them will be improved, they will still just be good. DF should drop off contention level as they lose a lot of seniors.
4A Upperstate...Irmo should have solid team and should contend for title. I would expect NW to drop in their overall potency due to loss of seniors but they will still be dangerous because of Enzo. Lex, Dorman and Mauldin will be mostly senior oriented teams, and all should be good teams, but probably not spectacular. It's a crowded field in the upperstate.
3A Lowerstate...Chapin and Socastee should rule
3A Upperstate...Greenville drops off contnention radar but Eastside and Riverside are still in it. Eastside should be the favorite, especially is Sebastian is on that team. JL Mann should be solid, but not good enough to overcome Eastside or Riverside. Eastside should be the favorite for it all next year.
I'm sure that I am missing a few, but most of the heavy hitters are here.

My bad. I know that and should have known better than to post it like that. I'll change my post.
Wando still has some good players and I still expect them to contend as I think that the power in 4A is shifting to Upperstate. There will be more top teams for contention in Upperstate next year.

I think most of yall have it correct im going to say eastside socastee in 3a state championship next year. i have a feeling if it come down to it socastee will do alot better they have alot of young players and many of them had never expierianced a game of that importance with this one over with it should be interesting next year. also they are only losing 3 starters. im am curious to see the outcome of next season especially if socastee makes it to the state game

4A Lowerstate: I expect Spring Valley to come out with Wando being competitive. Dutch Fork will not compete much next year.
4A Upperstate: Northwestern and Irmo should be two of the favorites with Irmo returning most of their team. Dorman will challenge as well.
3A Upperstate: If C-Bass goes to Eastside its game over for the state. Riverside and Greenville will of course contend.
3A Lowerstaet: Socastee's last chance with Justin and Orlando paired together. Chapin will be great if they can find someone to pair up with Joey. Myrtle Beach will also be in there and also B.C., both teams returning most of their core players.
2A: BISHOP ENGLAND....

Wando should still be a contender as they usually always are but they do lose a lot of very talented players. Three in particular are Kirby B., Andrew E., and Will M. I just think the lost of those quality type players is enough for Wando to take a step back as far as fighting for a Lowerstate Title. Spring Valley looks to be the favorite next year in the Lowerstate once again.

The loss of the pacakage is probalby the biggest loss for gville for the 08 season....they outscored our opponents 5-4 on the season...quality players ben sprague and Mike Kavulous a.k.a Totti....greenville will be missing the athletic moves by the big man...and kavulous's SICK volleys. not to mention his hair...

Watch out for Riverside next year they have two of their starters from last years state champion team returning next year that couldn't play this year...Austin baker will punish if he stays out of trouble and a great player in Johnny Graham(aka Sideshow Bob)...They also will have their entire back line returning ...2 of their starting mid-fielders...a couple of solid jv players coming up...and i heard a rumor that maybe a good forward from another upstate school maybe coming.

Riverside will have a Premier level defense for a high school team, so they should be able to hold up against anyone in the state. most teams don't even have half the quality on defense that they do. The question is, can they generate enough goals against quality opponents. The loss of Baker was huge and as far as him staying out of trouble, that's a big IF.

Eastside lost no players this year and some very good freshman coming up and they were solid this year so take into consideration the team building and chemistry for next year expect big things from Eastside especially if C-Bass comes

yes you are right that is a big if, but seeing him and talking with him after alot of games this year I could tell he wants to be there next year and make a difference. Yes drogba eastside was a solid team this year, but there are still several factors that i think will stop them from winning the championship next year...1)though they keep possession well, their back line is very unorganized at times. Maybe some team chemistry and experience will help that. 2)they still don't have a solid goalkeeper, which is why they play 3 different gks, and are very bad on pks. 3)though sebastian is very good, I believe that Greenville and Eastside play too different types of soccer which will mean he will have to gel with the team.
Two good teams next year in 3a that no one is mentioning, and could possibly upset some teams, are J.L. Mann and Dreher

I think its between Riverside and Eastside. Why Riverside? First they have a Premier level backline, however its not that great... nothing like greenvilles this year, if eastside can get 3 goals in 30minutes on them this year i wouldnt say they are amazing, but they are solid, and i think one of them will have to step up to the middle to fill rodgers and day. Second, they still have an outstanding keeper in Ian Rose. Lastly, IF baker can play their attack will be dynamic unlike this year, bakers speed is scary, and also if Graham comes back, that will be key because hes a very good '90 premier player, that would be a good centermid or defender.
Why Eastside?
I feel they are the favorite but still have some questions to answer. I think its unlikely Sebastian will be playing next year, bc he has to move into the district and rumor has it that he might try playing in Columbia this summer... we hope he doesnt get too comfortable down there. They have some Keeper issues. A solid but inconsistant backline, but with more expirence i think that will help and they will be good. Valikonis scores, miguel assist, they have a nice attack when everthing clicks. Speed on the left flank with woolford and perfect crosses on the right with symmes. They look good for next year with the exact same team with at LEAST 3 added premier freshman

It will be Riverside or Eastside in upper state. As for sebastian he is goin to Colombia and trying out for a development team. He will not be goin to regionals with the 90 premier team. He also was not at try outs either. As for Eastside the only thing that will keep them from winnning upperstate is their keeping. It is very poor and inconsistant and their back line was very flat. In the second Riverside game riverside got in behind the back line easily on break aways 3 times. Riverside did not have that much pace up top either at the time with Baker out. As for Riverside they also have a solid player from NJ who couldnt play this season bc he played highschool up there before he moved here

I expect Northwestern to be vey dangerous once again next year with a more experienced Enzo leading the attack. However with such stiff competition in Upperstate it will be difficult for Northwestern to make a return trip to the finals. With a Coach like Dom Wren though, I'm sure NW will want to prove people wrong.

I agree Spaceman, I expect a very heated and intense battle for Region 4. Lexington will have more seniors but Irmo returns their entire starting group with the exception of Lay and Patrick de St. Aubin. In fact I believe Irmo will still be starting a large group of juniors and sophmores next year as well. Irmo has no more excuse of rebuilding for the next several years.

Especially when you consider that after being switched out of region 5 with State Champs SV, Irmo only played them once this season, and won that game 3-1!!

Myrtle beach is ok but they will not make it far in playoffs depending on who they play of course but they deffinately wont go to state personal opionion also i dont think BC will last unless they are picking up some new players but other than that you have it pretty much right.

Yeah, Eastside's weakness, and possible downfall, will be there keeper. Although they are all getting much better they still need a bunch of improvement. I would not be surprised AT ALL if Riverside wins because they have Rose in the goal now. He can change the game just like the SV keeper did in the championship. Both teams will be very good. Probably split the series in regular season and meet in the playoffs. Greenville and Mann will be good but won't have a chance.

Eastside just has alot of young first year high school players who hadnt experienced it yet......by next year they will have the gist of the pace of the high school game.....and the keepers for Eastside arent bad they just dont stand out above others

I didn't say they were good i said not bad which means ive seen teams with worse and one of the goalies is good just inconsistent and if he can fix that he will do good

james garalis, the sophomore goalie, saved eastside against daniel in the pre season tournament, He saved 4 pks in a row! He also played good against Greenville both times and came up with some big saves, but ill agree that there is some inconsistency there at the goalie position

I cannot believe no one has mentioned White Knoll. They did not do the best this year but you must admit they were impressive.
The only person they will be losing is paradise i think. they will return their mids and all their backs. they will only have to replace the top scorer.
Spring Valley will be very strong
Lexington will be good also.
Any body kno anything about dutch fork?

Oh yeah man I forgot about White Knoll. They only have to replace their top scorer but they should be able to beat an Irmo team that beat them 5-0 and a Lexington team that beat them 7-0. And Irmo and Lexington return loads of players. Give me a break man. White Knoll is an almost decent team but this is the forum for next year's BEST TEAM, not who might make the playoffs.

It would have been nice for Eastside to have that kid in goal last year against Daniel. The pk shootout went like 15 goals each or something.

DF will not compete. They simply lose too many players. They have 2 starters returning, and 5 returners all together. Look for a rebuilding year to happen, but with such a "great" coach they will probably lose more than they should.

Well until DF gets a coach that is half as good as Coach Savitz is, their "rebuilding" year will be nothing like that of Irmo's. No offense to anyone or Coach Quinlan, it's just that Savitz is an amazing coach and one of the only ones who can take a young team in a "rebuilding" year (plus all the off the field problems) and turn them into an Upper-State contender.

Yep and they won each time with a comfy lead of 2 goals in each of those three games. Not bad against a team that was supposed to beat everyone...except Socastee. Anyway, it is yet to be determined just how good NMB is gonna be next year...that is a year away anyway so anything is possible.

BamBam, I believe an answer to your question about Irmo's off the field problems could be answered by the fact that these are high school kids. They are going to make bad decisions occasionally. If they don't learn from these mistakes, thats another problem in itself. I know you couldn't be questioning Coach Savitz's coaching ability. Look at the records 502-62-4, 13 State Championships. I also know you couldn't be questioning his character or personality because obviously you had never met the guy. He is truly one of the classiest coaches in the state.

4-3 in double overtime is not exactly a comfy lead of two goals. Next year socestee, NMB, and myrtle beach should all be better than this year.

Spring Valley will take 4A again this year. Im leaning towards Socastee beating the Upperstate this year in 3A. BC will contend for lowerstate though.

Spring Valley will be solid, but I see the 4A championship coming out of the Upper State this year. NW will still be good, Irmo should be better, and LEX, Mauldin, and Dorman should all contend for the championship.
With regards to 3A, unless Eastside has a major breakdown in the playoffs, I see them going to the finals and thumping any team that the Lower State has to offer. This would include Socastee, no matter how good their forwards are.

Yes Lexington and Irmo will be good teams but i think the top two teams will turn out the same way it has the past 2 years with Spring Vally and Northwestern in the championship with NW winning it. You might be able to have held off NW last year but they will come back much harder.

I dont think that NW will be as good as they have been with the loss of benson and kropp they will have a hard time connecting to Enzo and Alex, and SV still has great potential but need to get their players to stay ot of trouble.

Why would they not play for DFHS? Maybe I've missed something. Where would Cates go in January? Has Coach Quinlan commented?
On another note, I think RNE will be much better this year and should make the playoffs.

for once i agree with bassett, however kropp will be a huge loss for the team along with benson. i think the little martinez's will find it harder to work without a player like kropp around them, but they still will be a good team

Northwestern will still be the team to beat in the upstate until someone actually does. Irmo has all the pieces of the puzzle to compete but I'm skeptical if that group can stay focused enough to compete for a state championship. Lexington should still be strong as well as Mauldin. In the lowerstate my pick is Spring Valley, who are just loaded with talent but it will be interesting to see how much success can be attributed to Davis in goal last year. I think Dutch Fork has the biggest drop off of anybody. If RNE can pull an upset, very realistic Dutch Fork is looking at a 4 seed in the playoffs.

trojans will clearly be in the hunt. 7 count em 7 players off of the dsc u-17 boys back to back state champions are on that team. with that huge nucleus, they dont need much more but there are plenty of other good trojans. i would be surprised if the trojans and valley dont meet again for all the marbles.

You better hope that the number doesn't get any larger than 7. There are limits on the number of players from the same team that play on both a club and high school team when coached by the same coach (Dom Wren). I forget the exact stipulations on it but I'm sure you can find it in the SC High School handbook. You wouldn't want to get through a season and find out that your team has to forfeit all of their games due to a missed rule.
