In 4A, Irmo is probably the only mid-state team that could challenge for a state championship. Dutch Fork and Lexington are still very good but they won't field their strongest teams in 2010.
The powers are now "on the outskirts". Wando, TL Hanna, Mauldin, Dorman, Clover and Fort Mill will probably be the teams to beat. I think we may soon see the lower state make some noise as West Ashley, James Island and Summerville look like they are heading in the right direction.
