More perspective:
Mann may have the best record in the state, but they also played the weakest non-conference schedule of the top 3 teams (Mann, Fort Mill, Wando)
Mann played
Dorman #6 in state in a scrimmage
Riverside #10 in a scrimmage
Eastside probably top 10 in the state
Wando
#8 Irmo
#9 Blythewood
#12 TL Hanna
Hilton Head probably top 5 in state
Peachtree ridge #7 in George
Academic Magnet probably top 10 in state
Fort Mill
#9 Blythewood
Academic Magnet
Lake Norman #6 in North Carolina
Think of it this way: is there a team that Mann beat that Wando or Fort Mill wouldn't also beat? Or if Wando/Fort Mill played Mann's schedule they would probably both be undefeated as well.
21-0 is impressive, but keep in mind Wichita State was 34-0 going into this years NCAA and look how that turned out. I am not saying that Mann isn't a good team cause clearly they are, but I am pointing out that I don't think you can look at these teams on paper and declare any of them to be better than the other two.
I think any of the three of them could win the State Championship without it being much of a surprise.
