4A Region 4
South Aiken will be the team to beat here. Airport is the only Midlands team in the region and they will struggle. Aiken and North Augusta are both down this year and Midland Valley is in a rebuild mode. The Mustangs are big but I think Airport matches up well there. Either way, Airport will sruggle to stay out of the cellar this year.

4A Region 5
Flora is the team to beat with their offense and string defense. Irmo can be dangerous and could beat any of these teams on any given night. Lugoff Elgin is improved but still middle of region team. Ridge View is dangerous on offense, especially if they find their groove and their defense will keep them in any game. Westwood gets good play from their offensive skills players but they can’t stop anyone – except for maybe Richland Northeast.
