Good questions! My replies:

Why didn’t DiBenedetto make clash??? Or North/South? Who knows, but he's a worker on the field

Does Coach Wilcox get tired of winning State Championships? Probably not

Who is Batesburg-Leesville? A team that has been steadily progressing the last 5-6 years. They are not a one-season wonder. They've been building and in fact, were probably a better team last year. At any rate, they exemplified what 2A soccer SHOULD be. Not bashing BE, but they just should not be at this level. This should be for the B-Ls, Walhallas, Emeralds, Gilberts, Waccamaws, Hanahans, and Barnwells of the world. They've all had good quality teams, but run into the BE juggernaut every year. It was refreshing! As one elder B-L fan said coming out of the restroom yesterday clad in purple, "Dey can't write no storybook any better dan dat." About summed up a perfect day for the Purp Squad.

When is the last time neither of the Bishops (boys/girls) went home without a State Championship? I don't know, but it would be nice to see this more often.

WWMS…What Will Marta Say? I think she just replied and that's all anyone could really say. Yes, BE controlled the match and all, but B-L made their shot count. #10 is a good player for the Panthers.

What was the South Aiken defense doing on the first JL Mann goal? There is a Western swing band known as "Asleep at the Wheel" that would aptly explain what happened. I think there was some confusion on a pending substitution, but the center official did not recognize it and the Mann player took advantage of it. There is an old saying, "play to the whistle." At any rate, #21 for Mann slammed it home with an exclamation point at the end though.

Why did the South Aiken keeper decide to take a nap (lay on the field for 3 minutes) during the game? He was tired

How fast is Ryan Hurst? If that is #21, pretty fast for a white boy!"

Did anyone have a “normal haircut” on JL Mann? No

Why were there two 4A state championships? Huh?

What did Dom Wren have on? Looked like he was attending Irmo's dynasty funeral."

What referee would ever tell the Irmo coaching staff to stay in their box? A good one. I can't believe the way Irmo's 50 people stand on the field (or try to). That official kept pinning them in their little box. hehe

Why didn’t Dennis Moore make all-state? politics, politics, politics

Who allowed the wide receiver gloves to be worn by Padula? bad move, I think he threw 2-3 out of play. Probably should have just left the gloves in his winter closet.

Why weren’t cards issued to Irmo’s Padula and Lunceford for getting in the face of Ricky Garbanzo? there should have been several cards in the 4A final, period. Also, could you believe the 'vocabulary' of some of the high school students in attendance? I heard more f-bombs and p words than an Andrew Dice Clay routine.

Who thinks Alex Martinez is over-rated? underrated maybe, not overrated. He played midfield by himself vs. Irmo.

Does Garbanzo always score “highlight” goals? yes

Why would Irmo’s fans show bad sportsmanship by throwing bottles and trash at the Northwestern players?? at least it wasn't the players throwing medals this year

Why would you leave another school to play at Irmo when you don't win a State Championship? they've been doing this for years, but most came away with a gold medal, but those days are more distant now.

Will Manchester post all the goals for the highlight video or just Irmo’s? I'm looking forward to the pregame warmup and the goalkeeper watching balls go by and not make an attempt, a la the four the Trojans rocked them with last night.

UP THE TROJANS!!! THE NEW DYNASTY
