The last two Mann teams have been great teams. The one in 2009 only lost two regular season games and the 2010 walked to a state championship. The reason that Mann has a few more losses over the past three years is because they have always played in a region with Eastside, Riverside, and Greenville. That is three teams that have recently won state championships that you end up playing twice a year.(sometimes 3 times) 4a may have the most talented team every year but 3a always has a lot of depth and always seem to compete in the BC tournament where it puts 4a vs 3a. 4a does have a lot of talent but seems to think a little too highly of itself. I believe a 3a team called Greenville was National Champs a few years back. I highly doubt this years Irmo to could compete with that greenville squad that maybe gave up three goals all year.
