why isnt Riverside the defending champ in it?

RHS did not respond to the 2007 post tourney questionnaire and evidently has elected not to return in 2008. The Warriors were invited to defend the '07 title. I believe Riverside is planning on hosting its own tournament next spring.

was greenville not invited to the tourny

Yes, GHS was invited back in May, but has been undecided. We have to move on.

How about Pinewood Prep? They should fair well in SCISA again this year. Were they invited?

It might be eaiser on you if you post who was invited

Once again RHS is looking in from the outside when it comes to the Palmetto Cup. Last year RHS was not in the initial field because they didn't have a coach when they were putting the tourney together. A late withdrawal after Finotti was named coach allowed RHS to get in and they end up winning the thing. Finotti told the RHS players and parents at the start of the season that RHS would have their own tournament next year so RHS didn't apply. Then Finotti leaves and the team is left without participating in the Palmetto Cup and no tournament of their own.
