I've seen both play multiple times this year. This is not the same team NHS fielded last year. NHS has great attack but average defending and goalkeeping, Irmo on the other hand is well rounded all over the pitch (similar to NHS 09).
You can call for revenge and redemption all you want but do you not think Irmo wants revenge after losing last year in state? I can promise, winning LMC is not a big deal to them compared to the aspirations they have to redeem themselves and win state.
I am not knocking NHS one bit because I love watching them play; they are well coached, well disciplined and just flat out exciting to watch. but at the end of the day, this is Irmo's year....
