I’m really shocked but I guess I shouldn’t be! Northwestern is probably the best team in the state any classification. In 5A the lower state teams has a very legitimate shot this year to steal the trophy from the upstate.
I'm not sure why people are underestimating NW. After watching them play in the championship game, and looking at what they return, they were my preseason pick to win 4A.
People shouldn't consider their 42-35 loss in week 0 a negative. MaxPreps has Providence Day ranked #2 in NC, #38 in the nation.
Maxpreps is an interesting source of info. Always wonder where it originates. PD is ranked 38 nationally and shows #2 in NC. Rabun Gap is in GA and does show #1 ahead of PD in NC independent schools, but not ranked nationally. They play each other later in the year, PD will win by 30+.
Today's MaxPreps 4A Rankings:
1 Northwestern
2 South Florence
3 Irmo
4 South Pointe
5 Hartsville
[Edit] Interesting: I just realized that #2 defeated #4, and #3 defeated #5 this week.
Also, once we get to region play, #1 will face #4, and #2 will face #5.
That there is some good football!!
