Rare that that happens in Academy. It happens. But not often. Conversely, when my son was a freshman we lost both times to NW by scores of 9-0 and 12-0, or soemthing like that. I'll bet.....that if you took the top 2-3 HS programs in the state and thru out their 3 closest results and their 3 biggest blowouts and only looked at what was left....there was still probably a 4-5 goal differential.

Coach Wren could probably answer best....when Enzo was there what their average goal differential was. I'll bet it was at least 5, probably more. And within Region it was probably pushing 10.

Last year in Academy we played SCU 3 times and it was a 1 goal game everytime. We played CSA twice and we won by 1 and lost by 1. Played Greensboro twice....drew,and they killed us, in our worst game of the year. Beat CASL by 1 and I think lost by 2.

Those are my experiences watching HS and Academy. 1 goal games in Academy with the rare multi-goal result. Blowouts in HS when a good team plays anyone not named Irmo or Wando.
