I'm a Riverside parent and I first want to say S. Aiken has an awesome soccer team and even a better goalie. She was the best we faced all year.
I'll be the first to admit our region games were weak, but our out of region games that we play every year are probably stronger than the S. Aiken schedule. We played JL Mann twice, Greenville twice, Eastside twice. TL Hanna twice, ranked #4 in 4a when we played them. Mauldin 2x when they were ranked #2 in 4a, and Dorman a 4a team that was ranked in the top 5 in 4a when we played them. But that's not taking anything away from S. Aiken, both Riverside and S. Aiken would be in the top 5 in 4a this year. Sometimes I think they should just eliminate 3a and the private school league and have just 2 divisions.
