SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer northwestern live up to irmos dynasty?

who thinks northwestern will become the dominate school irmo has been for so long?

Nope, not until they dominate for 20 years like Irmo did. Also, with the re-organization of the demographics in their school district, Northwestern won't enjoy that aspect for long either. Soccer is a demographic sport and NW won't have that monopoly in Rock Hill much longer.

I agree. I just don't see any school ever being the superior team in the state for over two decades in a row. Over the past twenty five years only two Irmo teams have not reached either the Upperstate or Lowerstate Finals. Thats unbelievable and I don't see any high school in the state being able to accomplish that nor the state championships. Northwestern is a great team and has turned into a pretty prestige program but they can only be able to be considered the new era Irmo if they continue state championship success for the next 20 years.

I just don't see it either. The population growth and with the growth schools like Rock Hill and South Pointe will continue to improve. Fort Mill will also field great teams. I just don't see them staying on top with good players being spread between all the schools. I see the same thing for schools like Irmo, Lexington, and White Knoll.

I don't think that any program will achieve more consistent success that the Irmo program has achieved. Although, on another note, I believe if you look at some of the best teams SC has ever had, you can find a few that are not from the Irmo program such as 2001(?)Ridgeview team or the dominant Wando team a few years back, and also a few others. What do yall think are the best individual teams ever in SC?

i mean there would have to be some irmo teams high on the list obviously, but other than that there have been some teams: South Aiken in 2005 even though irmo got screwed..., Ridgeview definitely 2001, Wando, i'll get back with the rest

The Wando team with David Newton (sp?) was a great team.

I Would have to say Irmo and Riverside have been the two most dominating programs in SC history ...individually i would have to say maybe the 2005 Eastside team or maybe the Ridgeview 2001

From memory.. (and I could be wrong)

1. Irmo
2. Riverside
3. Bishop England

..as far as State Championships go. And I doubt, despite classification, that anyone would argue the quality of those programs past or present.

2005 Eastside was a very quality side.
