Bear, I would encourage teams to play Pinewood as well but i dont understand why do you assume that they would have to come to you? Does that mean they would only play the good teams if they came to Pinewoods's field? And i agree with you in that they shouldnt have to travel up to columbia to do so, there are many top notch teams in the lower part of the state as well, but pinewood shouldnt be afraid to tarvel once in a while, after all, usually kids have more fun on bus rides anyway and after all, high school soccer should be fun.
