Here are some interesting facts and statistics for the Girls 2A/1A Soccer:
2001 � 2006: a private school has won the state championship 6 straight years.
2001 � 2006: Of the 12 teams competing over 6 years in the state championship games 10 have been private schools and 2 have been public.
Over the past six years:
100% of the state titles have gone to a private school.
83% of the upstate champions have been private schools.
83% of the lower state champions have been private schools.
If you are a small public school in SC you have 17% chance of even getting to play in the Championship Game and 0% chance of winning it. This is not a level playing field. Public schools can and will continue to build their programs, but when they have to compete against private schools which have a large pool of players training with the Greenville and Charleston Clubs �..You won�t see these statistics change much in the future. It is time for SCHSL to do something and give the public school athletes they serve a fair chance.
