Pre-Season Match-Ups that should whet our appetite for the week of Feb 16-20...

Feb 14th - The Weekend Classic
TL Hanna at Wando
Whoa Nelly! Must be nice to be able to travel four hours for a scrimmage! Expectations are soaring for both teams, Wando is expected to repeat as AAAA state champs and TL Hanna is hungry to make it past the 3rd round and exorcise some demons after the Mauldin game last year. Could be THE pre-season scrimmage of 2009. ESPN is rumored to be covering the match.

Feb 17th
Christ Church vs Dorman
Did Dorman lose enough to really drop off a bit? Will Christ Church be stronger than last year? Good early season test for teams with top 5 aspirations in AAAA and AA respectively.

Spring Valley vs Dreher
Two more strong Cola teams looking to make a statement. Dreher has acknowledged the myth of 5 R3PL Freshman as just that, and Spring Valley is always in the mix in AAAA.

February 19th
JL Mann vs Spartanburg
Rae Wilson is amazing and JL Mann comes in at the #2 spot in AAA. Spartanburg can beat anyone, anywhere, but graduated some talent in 08. Which team looks primed for a deep playoff run? Probably both.

Stink'n TLH can travel 4.5 hours to Charleston, but not return a stink'n game to Aiken 2.5 hours a way. Stink'n CJ...

Here are the scrimmages over the next 2 weeks between ranked AAAA teams:
Thu Feb 12 - (06) Irmo vs. (13) Byrnes
Sat Feb 14 - (01) Wando vs. (07) T.L. Hanna
Fri Feb 20 - (03) Dorman vs. (06) Irmo

There are no match ups during the next 2 weeks between ranked, same-class, AAA, AA-A, or SCISA teams.

Irmo vs Byrnes will be my favorite. For Byrnes to do so well and be so low, while Irmo did not finish as strong yet is so high.

Of course, if they coach in a similar fashion as some (AHEM) then everyone will play equal amounts and formation experiments will be conducted. Not going to be too much of an indicator...but still fun to watch

The younger one was always the funny one

Ahhh the days of the inner tube!

Sadly enough boys, now we'd have to replace the inner tube with three bmx bikes welded together, and your boat would need to morph into a monster truck. We'd be "Lake Bogging" like it's 2004 in no time!

Lakeside (GA) 3-1 South Aiken
