Brookland-Cayce played both teams and lost all three matches by one goal:
0-1 ot @ Chapin (0-0 half)
0-1 CHAPIN (0-0 half)
1-2 @ Socastee (B-C 1-0 half)
Chapin has the home field advantage and that is huge, especially what I witnessed last Thursday on the coast.
Flip a coin! It's going to be a super game. Best of luck to the Lower State in the State Finals.
