Irmo is experiencing the demographics shift, with the majority of higher level players living in the Dutch Fork, Chapin , Lexington HS districts. (much discussed last year)

All in all Irmo is still a young good team. Not at the Irmo standards of the past but still a solid squad.

You see this in other Midland areas as well....i.e

Dreher, BC, Airport, AC Flora.

Growth in the area is pushing the "players" outward... Not long ago RNE had a strong program, now they are lucky to have subs at the games. Spring valley has become the recipient of this. Ridge View has been hurt by Blythewood and so on.


It would not surprise me if Chapin becomes 4A in the near future, or if White Knoll becomes more competitive.
