SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Pinewood Prep Vs. Academic Magnet- 04/24

Any predictions? Pinewood is 16-6, #1 in SCISA, and #3 in the lowcountry. Academic Magnet is 16-1, #1 in 1A, and #4 in the lowcountry. Should be a good game between two quality teams.

I am going with AM on this one, perhaps 4-3. Magnet seems able to score on anyone and Pinewood's defense is shaky. With Pinewood's SCISA schedule its hard to tell how powerful their offense is--they have scored against some pretty tough defenses in BE and NW, and Magnet's defense seems adequate if not outstanding.

Why consider Pinewood they are playing in SCISA, that league is no good.

what quality teams has AM played?

probably the toughest schedule any 1A team has played

guardrail22, actually Lincoln has played the toughest schedule by far of any 1A teams as opponents have a 187-83-4 mark (+104) and have a goal differential of -6 (69-75). Christ Church has faced a formidable slate as well as their foes have tallied a 154-110-2 mark (+44). That being said, Academic Magnet has defeated Lincoln twice (3-2, 7-0) and Christ Church (3-1).

Academic Magnet is 3-0 vs. ranked 1A teams
Christ Church is 3-1 vs. ranked 1A teams
Lincoln is 0-4 vs. ranked 1A teams

that must be why they play the games
