I think you are thinking of Ashley Sheets. Great player, saw her score on a corner once, bent it right in, great shot. I agree FM will be rebuilding/reloading this year (as I pointed out
) and if not for the drop to 3A might have a tough time geting by Clover again this year. Clover lost several good players but they still have the star from last year so I expect they will be tough again.
Hard to say who will step up this year, they have some seasoned seniors and a stong group of juniors. The underclass group is harder to judge becasue with 11 seniors last year there were'nt any freshmen on varsity last year, heck they only had 4 10th graders on Varsity (2 of them starters).
As for the incoming freshmen we will have to wait and see if any get the nod to play varsity. Not sure any of them are ready to be starters this year, maybe-maybe not depends on team positional needs. There are a few in the group who I think can contribute at that level now, but like you said giv'em a year at high school and those GHMS girls are going to be intresting to say the least.
For now I will stand by my prediciton that FM takes 1st in region and NaFo is second. How far they go after that not sure yet but a good coach with a solid program (FM is one and NaFo is becoming one) can compensate for large turnover. Remeber two years ago, with only one senior FM went to upstate and took Mauldin to OT (if not for a goal in final 5 of reg FM win) before losing to the eventual state Champs. If they can do it then why not again this year?
