There's a lot of talk about who the prohibitive favorites of any given season are: the Mauldins, BCs, Wandos, Clovers, Ft. Mills, etc. etc. (and I apologize for anyone I've left out. It's only eight in the morning) of the world. These gals all have a tough task in front of them because they know they always get everyone's best shot, always get the creative coaching from opponents and always have the added weight of high expectations.
My question, though, has to do with the opposite direction: What are the teams that will be excellent but fly under the radar and shock some folks in the playoffs? I know that Robles does a great job with the girls at Northwestern, but since I'm coaching in my own little bubble, I have little knowledge about the rest of the state.
In short, who are the potential surprise teams this spring, and why are they going to be so good?
