It is stupid to say the Mann team form last year would not stand a chance against Irmo. They had a group of seniors that had 5 CESA premier team players and basically ran through 3A. If you watched their run through the playoffs, they dominated. I guarantee they would have been getting a whole lot more respect if they had been in 4A because that is all people on these boards seem to care about. I would pay to see Mann's team last year play this year's Irmo.
As for this next matchup, Im not sure the young Mann team can hang with a very organized and talented Irmo team. What I saw them do against Riverside was impressive and showed how strong they are.
Mann will be very strong for years to come and will be putting some more state championship rings in coach Hosea's trophy case. then maybe they will get some of the respect they deserve.
