The Midlands has a natural dividing line in the Broad and Congaree Rivers, separating the area into a definitive East and West. This year, for hte first time in 27 years, SCVarsity is altering the way we do our All-Area team. I’ve decided to do that because we are focusing on just the Midlands this season and have increasted that coverage area in a 60 mile radius, covering 40 schools. This year, we have selected an Preseason All-Midlands East Team and a Preseason All-Midlands West Team. This team goes three-deep in most positions where there are enough high caliber players to fill out a three-deep chart at a position. Some positions don’t quite get to three deep but do go over two deep. There are 68 players on each of these teams. From these teams, we will select the All-Midlands Elite Team, which will go just one deep at each position.
These players are sorted by position and then alphabetically. You will notice there are a couple of players who are on both sides of the ball and that is because they fit the depth chart at both of those positions as one of the top players at those particular positions.
Here is the 2022 Preseason All-Midlands East Team
