Thanks for posting Slick!!!! I can't believe that they don't have Beaufort ranked in 4A. We are going to be LOADED this season. But I am kind of glad though because I want Beaufort to surprise people. I also can't believe that they don't have Whale Branch in the 1A poll. I look for both teams to be in that poll once the season gets underway.

GO BEAUFORT EAGLES!!!!

Timberland ahead of Abbeville...interesting. I do not know much of the Wolves....Atown lost a good bit but we gonna be tough. We have talent, but, younger players will have to step up. i'm still miffed at some decisions we made last year, and, very miffed at the way we ended season. Pre-season polls are basically a conversation piece.

First thoughts about this poll is that there is a lot of influence from "HISTORY" in the selections and very few huge surprises. There are a few comments that come to my mind, but like the clown says, "its like our hineys, we all got one"

Class AAAAA
Gaffney - Always a fairly safe pick and they have made some changes in coaching so this is quite possible
Sumter - Came close two years in a row
Dutch Fork - Takes guts to put them anywhere other than #1
Dorman - Always going to put a good team on the field... lot of students to pick from helps
Byrnes - If we solve the QB issues, we can be good but not sure this good
Spring Valley
Fort Dorchester
Clover
Berkeley
Rock Hill
River Bluff
Blythewood
Summerville
Goose Creek
Lexington
Chapin

Class AAAA
South Pointe - Why not, they seem to get here quite often
Myrtle Beach - Same here, they don't rebuild, they reload
Greenwood - About time for another great team
Hartsville
Greenville
North Myrtle Beach
AC Flora
Wilson
May River
Laurens
Eastside
Greer
Westwood
York
Westside
West Florence
BEF seems to think Beaufort should at least be on the list, and while he does see things from a GREEN side view, I'm going to trust him here.

Class AAA
Dillon
Camden
Daniel
Chapman - Lost the coach and quite a but of talent, so I'm not sure of this pick.
Manning
Oceanside Collegiate
BHP
Wren - Could be a surprise team, just sayin
Gilbert
Chester
Aynor
Strom Thurmond
Union County
Fairfield-Central
Broome
Hanahan

Here's hoping that we get to experiencing this on the field this year. Most of all, experiencing it SAFELY.

I agree. With no clinics and 7-on-7 tournaments, all anyone has to go on this year is team history, coaching history and known returning players. It didn't require a crystal ball to make these picks: Class AAA -- Dillon, Camden, Daniel, Chapman,...

I sure hope it's not very accurate this year. :? Half of the top 8 teams in 4A are from Region 6. (Myrtle Beach, Hartsville, North Myrtle Beach, Wilson)

The only two 4A-6 teams not listed in their top 16 are Darlington and South Florence. :shock: Ouch. I hope our coach pins that one up in the weight room.

Polls are for strippers. I put one in my bedroom. Now my wife can entertain her guests while I watch TV. Such a relief for me. Thinking about changing our last names to "Falwell".
