Interesting breakdown of the clubs with teams in the final four:

CESA - 12
CUFC - 8
Bridge - 3
FSCG - 2
LCSC - 2
CUSC - 1
CFC - 1



I think you missed 3 teams in the final 4. There should be 32. Here's what I got:
CESA - 12
Columbia United - 8
BridgeFA - 3
Lexington - 2
Foothills - 2
Discoveries - 1
Mt Pleasant- 1
Charleston United - 1
Carolina FC - 1
North Augusta - 1

I think Bridge still has to be considered among the top clubs in the state. The fact that no boys' U16-U18 Bridge teams are in the final 4 was to be expected considering their membership in the USSF Academy. But if by "in the state" you mean "in SCYSA", I would agree with you.
