Georgetown boys join other area schools in SCHSSCA rankings
The most recent South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association state polls include six local programs. In particular, one of those teams is a relative newcomer.
Amid the Myrtle Beach and St. James boys (Nos. 4 and 14, respectively, in Class AAA), Region VII’s Georgetown holds the No. 15 spot. It is believed to be the first time in at least a decade the Bulldogs were in the polls.
Chris Hapeshis’ team is 7-2-1 overall and 2-0 inside the region. Its most recent game was a 1-0 victory over St. James. The Bulldogs play at North Myrtle Beach on Tuesday.
The Grand Strand’s other ranked programs are the Socastee boys (No. 11, AAAA), and girls programs Myrtle Beach (No. 6, Class AAA) and St. James (No. 9, Class AAA).
