SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Irmo or Chapin

One other thing to consider is that these two schools are in differenct high school classes. I would not expect a 3A school to be able to truly compete with a 4A school. Especially at the top of the divisions.

Irmo is very talented and well coached so I am sure they will overcome their difficulties. It is still early in the season and they did win the game.

4A schools are able to field 11 quality soccer players in a game where 3A schools are lucky to field 11 quality "athletes". There are good players in 3A but it is very difficult to play a team game when there are weaknesses in your lineup. 4A is by far the superior class and will be due to numbers. This is precisely why the High School League has classes to even the playing field. I commend Chapin on an extremely tough out of conference schedule as their region is very very weak. Lookout Northwestern! :0

I hate to hear when players attitudes/actions take away from the beautiful game!

Chapin is still a good team this year but Coach hiller always puts his toughtest games at the beginning of the year to get his team working together against them. Chapin will do very good in 3A this year. But for the game last night i wouldnt say chapin was the only cheap players out there. Acree was fouling the whole game and #6 or #3 were putting elbows in the back of joey all night. Leo was prob the cleanest one of them all. But the irmo kids are prob to HIGH to know what there doing anyways.

Dutch Fork is not Irmo's only remaining tough opponent. Don't forget Spring Valley. #4 in AAAA. Antoine Parris is hard to handle. Ben Limbaugh is playing great in goal. They owned Irmo last year, winning both contests. They beat Dutch Fork already this season.
