Thoughts on the Bishop England soccer program:
Any one who follows girl’s high school soccer in South Carolina knows that the Bishops are one of the top-flight teams. Their facilities are second to none in South Carolina, their coaching is excellent and have won four straight soccer titles. Sports Illustrated picked Bishop England as the best high school sports program in the state.
Playing Bishop England on their home field is a new and eye-opening experience for most teams in the state. The field is immaculate and has dimensions larger than most fields in the state. The field seems, when one is used to playing on converted football fields, much larger than normal. If you don’t bring your “A” game, you can expect a loss. Even if you play well, it is never a foregone conclusion that you will win. I say this without regards to the classification of the opposing team. 2-A, 3-A, and 4A teams all know that they are in for a tough game when they come to Bishop England.
Hats off to the fighting Bishops for their most recent state championship victory over Christ Church. They dominated and deserved the win.
