PG is a good squad and as long as they keep winning, they should keep their spot. As for Ben Lippen...we've got to win consistently and beat the top teams in our region in order to earn a spot. Cardinal Newman has been the team to beat in the upperstate region this year. They have solid play all around and are a disciplined team. St. Joe's is as solid as ever. The lowerstate seems to get the most attention, and so far it seems deservedly so. I think both regions will represent well in the playoffs. I would like to see the rankings extended to 1-10 since it should be representative of both AAA and A/AA. At this point, Pinewood seems to be a step ahead of everyone...but the playoffs could still be fun.



I am interested to see how the playoff brackets shake out. Hilton Head Prep and Hilton Head Christian should end up tied for second in the region. I don't think anybody else in the region can beat them. HHCA has a one game lead over HHP right now, but they still have a game with Pinewood.

I am not sure how the tie will be broken because the point differential in the two games is tied. HHP won 1-0 and HHCA won 1-0. That will be a big tie-breaker because the second place team will probably host Ben Lippen and the third place team will probably travel to St. Joe's.

1st and 4th place in each region appear to be locked up with Porter Gaud traveling to Cardinal Newman in the first round and Hammond traveling to Pinewood.
