Justin Rhodes took over a very good Aiken Fire team that had not quite caught a 3-time state champion SGU team in that age group from U11-U13. He recruited players from Georgia, the Columbia area, and a key player from N Augusta (Eric Bafour) that obviously filled in the missing pieces in the U14 season. I am not aware of the changes after that, except for the addition of Jamal Geathers, who gives the Fire, with Eric, a 1-2 punch up top that is probably as good as any in the nation. The Fire have maintained their edge ever since.
