Obviously, anyone who knows soccer in SC knows that 4A vs 3A is an arbitrary comparison. The best teams, regardless of the size of their school are based on the quality of coaching, and the quantity of talented "club" players they can put on the field.
These national polls, etc. are nice, but they're done by folks who've never seen the teams play. There are several consistently high quality SC high school teams, NW, Irmo, Lex, SV, Wando, DF in 4A, and Riverside, Greenville, Eastside, in 3A. It's a product of the player pool from the clubs like CESA, CSC, Lex, Charlotte clubs, and the new Bridge club in Chas.
