Hurst, I don�t believe I said that �Mt. Pleasant's competitive program is dead.� If it came across that way, I apologize. Comparing the success of Mt. Pleasant�s more competitive teams against CESA (and the rest of the state) now versus the success they had several years ago, I am thinking you will see a clear downturn. Yes, they may have a successful team thrown in there on occasion, but I don�t believe you will see their name in the win columns nearly as often as in the past.
And, I think you might have misunderstood me a tad regarding populations. Being a 4-A school, while that may qualify you as having a certain number of students, certainly does not mean that you will have a strong soccer program. Examples: Stratford, Berkeley (I think), Ft. Dorchester, etc. Also, Blythewood is one of the quickest growing areas in SC, but I don�t ever remember reading anything about an up-and-coming soccer program there. I was talking more about large metropolitan areas � Atlanta, Raleigh, Greenville, etc.
