In terms of the number of teams that advanced out of group play, SC had 6 of the 88 total. 5 state associations had more and 5 had fewer. Florida also had 6.

SC residents comprise 4.9% of the population of Region III, yet SC teams comprised 6.8% of the 88 that advanced beyond group play.

SC ranks 9th among the 12 R3 states in population but tied for 6th in the number of teams that advanced beyond group play.

If you look at population size as a primary factor feeding clubs with quality soccer players, I'd say SC's showing at the Southern Regionals was not too bad.
