Thanks Cap'n - for the kudos -
I have seen Carolina play several times this year. They play a great style of soccer and are very well-coached. They also beat Palmetto twice and split with Broome who were both ranked top ten at times this year.
I agree with Saluda sliding and moving Pendleton up. I did not take into account teacms from the same region.
All in all - should be a good year in upper state. It is open and any of 5-6 teams could win it.
I still think both Bishop-England and Waccamaw in Lower State are too much for any Upper State team.
