H66 --

You know, in the three years or so that I've been posting I have never made a prediction about WA and the playoffs, but I'm willing to say that the WA team has as good a chance as any of the best 4A teams to win state in May. They have great individual talent and are capable of breathtaking athleticism. The overall team play will improve as the season goes on. Region play will hone their talents and I would not at all be surprised by losses in regular season to Wando or James Island. (An advantage to playing in Region 7 is the opportunity to play twice in regular season the team you will have to beat to get to state.) A good friend of mine suggested that my posts to present about West Ashley had left the shield of pride at the armory. Such was not my intention. They have been the best team in this state in 4A girls soccer for the last 3 seasons and can prove to be the best team this year if they want to.

ps: Any bets on who will finish second in state?
