We'll all know more after tonight.
Clover is a young team and as their program grows my guess is you'll see the expectations grow with it.
All this talk of 5-6 goal differentials......why is Clover even bothering to show up? Oh yeah....games are played on the field, not the forum. I would be scared to death of this game. Lots of emotion and no one thinks David has a chance.
This is a no win game for Fort Mill. If they win 6 nil everyone will say thats what they were supposed to do. God forbid if the Clover kids don't know they aren't supposed to be competitive and we actually have a good game. The story won't be the CLover is as good as advertised...but that Fort Mill underachieved.

It appears some of you on this thread need to give clover a little more respect "IF" the score I have heard is true.
FM 4 CLOVER 3 OT
Chico Stick,
Maybe Airport is a little better team than you thought because I do believe this is the same "Clover" team that lost to "Airport" 5-2. That was your question, correct?

FM did not bring their best defensive effort, but you can't take anything away from Clover. They were a spirited bunch. FM's defense looked better against Lex and Wando.
Doin' it the hard way...

Clover got up for the game and did a great job against one of the state's powerhouses. I'd like to seem them carry this effort through the season. Well done Clover (and FM on the win!).

Certainly a surprising score. As someone who has argued for Fort Mill being ranked much, much higher, it appears I was wrong and the folks doing the ranking were right -- although I wonder how representative this is regarding Fort Mill's abilities. Congratulations to Clover on an impressive game -- and congratulations to Fort Mill -- a win is a win.

"Stick?" In any case, perhaps Airport is better than Fort Mill. I kind of doubt it; but I guess it could be. Haven't looked in the same league when I've seen them play -- but those could be one-off's.

it never was about not respecting clover.i think ft-mills goal total was pretty much what was expected.from watching both of them play the 3 goals ft-mill gave up to them is what was unexpected.i think the hardest ft-mill fan would tell you that.good job by clover and it is good to see someone give ft-mill some trouble in this region.i still say ft-mill is a 4 goal better team and clover is young and not yet in ft-mills league.that is no disrespect to clover.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.

I don't think it because everyone thinks that Clover isn't any good, I think they don't get alot of respect because they don't play anyone. If they were to play Lex. Wando, Irmo, or anyone else like that, even if they lost like they did last night, they would get more respect. But when your out of region schedule is Lewisville, etc. it hurts that. CLover is a good team that is going to get better, but if they want to be an "elite" team they need a better non-region schedule.
