I have watched several games in the mid-state and it appears that BC is the strongest of them. I watched Chapin-Dreher last week and felt the game was rather unispired by both teams. I know Jack wrote a wonderful review but I didn't feel the teams left it out on the field. Maybe they just had a night off. I was expecting more for opening night with two quality teams. Dreher has a couple of quality players but they lack a complete unit. Chapin should be able to play better than they showed in that game but again I felt they had a few weaknesses on the field. Obviously, they have size and talant but again I noticed weaknesses. BC appears to have a solid team at all 11 positions. I feel they really go after the ball from every position certainly winning a large majority of 50-50 balls. I just didn't see the same type intensity from Dreher/Chapin that I witnessed from BC. A few disclaimers: the Dreher/Chapin game was the first for both teams. The BC game was their second. If BC has a weakness it may be at striker. They didn't really seen to have a "deep" threat in their attack.
I agree with another thread that AC Flora should be removed from the top 15 ranking as they just can not get it done yet.
As to 4A - Irmo is the team to beat!
