SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer 4a Preseason TOP 5

Heres mine.... go ahead bash them.

1.Spring Valley
2.Northwestern
3.Lexington
4.Irmo
5.Dorman

The Almost list:
wando,mauldin and summerville

Good list, I would have to say the top 2 could be interchangable though.

1.SV
1.NW
3.LEX
4.DORMAN
5.MAULDIN
HM: IRMO, Wando

SV has the edge just because of last year's final, they remain number one until beaten but NW is number 1 in regards to talent.

Irmo does have the talent, but Mauldin finished 2nd in the upperstate last year and deserve to be higher than Irmo.

1. South Aiken
2. Dutch Fork
3. Northwestern
4. Spring Valley
5. Lexington

SA? ha! seriously? And you would be smoking what?

SA and DF will not be in contention for the 4A state title this year sorry woah

1. spring valley
2. northwestern
3. dorman
4. lexington
5. wando

In my opinion, the upperstate is loaded again. I have difficulty with the lower state.

Spring Valley for sure, however Wando and DF have lost alot to graduation. Plus many of bridge's USSF academy teams will be playing - I do not know how that mix will work.

The year ended 50/50 (8 US and 7 LS)

Teams in a down turn - Wando, Dutch Fork, S. Aiken
Teams on the way up - Irmo, Dorman, maybe Summerville

SUPASTA's heavy upper state ranking may not be far of the mark


2007 finish
1 Spring Valley
2 Northwestern
3 Wando
4 Mauldin
5 Lexington
6 Dutch Fork
7 Irmo
8 Beaufort
9 Dorman
10 Summerville
11 South Aiken
12 Fort Mill
13 Stratford
14 Greenwood
15 Fort Dorchester

I agree with Futbol. Upperstate is loaded and in my opinion has five legitimate contendors for state champion.

Lowerstate has SV and maybe no one else.

I expect Irmo to do damage this year but I am not sure they will have what it takes to get to the championship. The Lex-Irmo games should be very good ones this year.

NW is typical NW, which should be odds on favorite for the upperstate, however they have some big holes to fill and although they have some good young talent coming up, I don't see them quite as solid as in years past. That being said they still have the ability to win it all.

Dorman and Mauldin return essentially everyone and will both be senior laden teams. I'not completely sure but I don't think they lost even five total seniors combined from last years teams. Expect these two teams to battle for Region 2 with the winner having a more secure road for the playoffs.

It's looking to be another good year of high school soccer.

Spring Valley and Northwestern are again the teams to beat this year. SV loses very little and NW loses a few key players, but NW is NW and will do just fine.

Irmo and Lexington will also be good as will Mauldin and Dorman.

1. NW
2. SV
3. Irmo
4. Mauldin
5. Lexington

HM: Dorman, Wando
