3A Preseason Analysis
Carolina Forest returns 5 SQ's with a State Champion and a runner-up.  Broome is right there as well. Tradition will carry Lugoff-Elgin far and look for Eastside, Lake City, and Chester to be in the hunt.  One of these teams will more than likely win a State Championship in 3A this year. As always, there can be the underdog, but I think a team with strong returning starters will capture the title.
