One thing to consider in the upstate/lowerstate debate is the demographics as well as population. The better soccer players tend to come from more educated and financially secure families. The upstate has the upper hand there. The lower state tends to be more rural and less educated.
Now, y'all can get off your high horses, I didn't just call the lowcountry a bunch of stupid hicks. There are plenty of affluent, well-educated people in the lowcountry. Just making a point about the overall makeup of the population.
AND I did NOT say that all soccer players are spoiled rich kids!
