I met Hurst at the Irmo preseason last year and just talked about all that we did. I guess that I was a salesman. He told me that the Ft Mill schools had just started Middle school soccer. My girls lost to Dreher and Eastside 1-0 each game.
My opinion is that for Girls playing JV teams are ok since most schools stock their JV's with middle school girls. That makes it a little more even. As for the Boys, our district had a drop off when we started the middle school program. But I feel that in the long run it helps. I had a lot of my guys on SV's team last year. This is our 5th season and we do everything that is allowed by the SCHSL for middle schools. You need to come and see our tournament here in columbia and see what its like.
