We played both West Coast (in scdsl) with Coach Wallace and Boca in the summer. Boca should have been in the poll, but imo the West Coast team we played in Sep/Nov was a better side. They had quality all over the field vs. a couple players making the difference. Not sure what happened in addition to the coaching change, but they were by far the best team we played in scdsl. SCDSL flight 1 couldn't have been that horrible as Strikers and Hawks are into the semis. With that said, I would say Valley United v Boca favorites to meet up in the final.
Next year will be very different as a group of best 02's return from DA, others leave for ECNL. Impossible to predict.
