Again, I don't know how many girls are "lost" to NC, but...
Very few boys play in NC because the high school season there is in the fall and club in the spring. Opposite of SC. The good boys (Martinez brothers, etc.) have no choice but to stay in SC and play. The girls leave and then get split up among 3 Charlotte clubs and 2 York clubs. If you took all of the U16 girls from Clover and Fort Mill and put them on one team, I think you would have a very strong premeir team. One that could score.
There are more boys playing. There are more HS boys teams than girls teams (last time I checked). Now add that you are losing some of the better ones from certain areas and it hurts. Why doesn't the HS league put a rule in that says you must play all amatuer ball in the state in order to play HS here? It will never happen, but... Or, why not change the SC girls season to fall? That would force all of those players to come back.
