Yeah...I agree, but they don't look at it like that. When any "smaller" school beats a larger school, it is usually always viewed as an upset. BE is a great team and so is B-C. I'm not taking anything away from either. The point that many people try to make is that 2A soccer doesn't matter. Maybe not to 3A and 4A schools, but it matters to us 2A people. To brush aside 2A soccer just because we don't have the Chapins (oh yeah, they just went 3A this year..I think they were 2A last year), Wandos, WA, Mauldin, B-C, Aiports, etc. really isn't fair or justified. Emerald is a great team along with Christ Church and B-E. Let's face it though, comparing 2A schools to larger schools is like comapring Kentucky football with FSU. YOu can't compare them because there is not a level playing field when it comes to programs and funds and playing experience.
Boz:
You gave my team kudos this year and I thanked you for that in a earlier post. My team earned kudos the extremely hard way this year. We cut our teeth in Varsity by having our butts cut on more than one occassion, thanks to your team! :-) So I can't repeat a fact? I'll change the word upset to win, ok? I haven't posted anything negative about B-C. Does that diminish the dominance that B-C had this year? No way. B-C is a great team and if you look in the predictions for the state championship, I picked them because I knew that they had it in them.
The bottom line is this: Why does everyone rip on 2A soccer? Just because we aren't that big and can't beat everyone that we play and it is usua, but 2A soccer is on the rise. Watch Swansea next year and see what happens. We graduate no one and have some good freshman coming up.
Formerhs:
I'm not taking shots at B-C's quality or character, which is what debase means. I already said that they are a great team and I truly mean that. They ripped us apart (which might not have been hard for them to do against us).
