Exciting Weekend Ahead for High School Football Fans in Rock Hill!
Hey there, Rock Hill! If you’re a fan of high school football, you are in for a treat this weekend. The weather looks absolutely perfect, making it a great time to cheer on our local teams. With several exciting matchups lined up, football fans of all ages will have plenty to look forward to. Let’s break down what we can expect from the games!
A.C. Flora at Lancaster
First up, we have the A.C. Flora Falcons visiting the Lancaster Bruins for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. A.C. Flora comes into the game with a record of 4-2 and has shown they know how to put points on the board. The star of the show has been their quarterback, Roper Wentzky, who has already amassed an impressive 1,143 yards and thrown 14 touchdowns this season. However, Lancaster’s defense is ready to give it their all! They managed to keep pace with an unbeaten Richland Northeast last week, only trailing by a touchdown as they entered the fourth quarter. It’s shaping up to be a nail-biter!
Buford at Pageland Central
Then we head over to Pageland, where the Buford Yellow Jackets, currently sitting at 2-4, will face the 4-1 Eagles. This game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. as well. After an explosive performance where they scored 41 points last week, Buford is looking to replicate that success. Watch out for Noah Crump, who threw an incredible 87-yard touchdown pass in that winning game. But Pageland Central is no pushover; they have a dominant ground game with two running backs each averaging over 90 rushing yards a game!
C.A. Johnson at Lewisville
Next, we’ll see C.A. Johnson visiting Lewisville. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. Lewisville has been having a strong season, with their quarterback Zach Rogers showcasing his talent by distributing the ball effectively to a talented group of receivers. Meanwhile, C.A. Johnson has relied heavily on their run game, with running back Kevonte Bates averaging an impressive 104 yards per game. It will be interesting to see which team can impose their style of play on the other!
Camden at South Pointe
Meanwhile, South Pointe will welcome the Camden Bulldogs for another exciting match. Also kicking off at 7:30 p.m., this game will be a showdown of the region’s best. South Pointe missed a week of action but is eager to return against a strong Camden squad that seeks to control the game with their rushing attack, featuring Wyatt Thompson who averages 115 yards per game. Don’t overlook the Stallions’ own Cam McMillon, who has thrown for 713 yards so far this season!
Cheraw at Andrew Jackson
Over in Andrew Jackson, the Cheraw defense will look to pressure a struggling offense. This matchup is set for a 7:30 p.m. start. Cheraw has impressively forced an average of two turnovers per game, which could be a nightmare for the Andrew Jackson Volunteers, who need to find their rhythm after averaging less than 200 total offensive yards per game this season.
Chester at Eau Claire
The Eau Claire Cyclones are hoping to kick off their region play with a win against Chester. Kickoff is also scheduled for 7:30 p.m., and they will rely on Hudhaifah Taylor, who has had five 100-yard rushing games this season. Also, expect to see Zeke Evans making big plays in the defensive backfield!
Clover at Northwestern
Last but not least, we have Clover, sporting a record of 4-2, travelling to take on the undefeated Northwestern (6-0). This highly-anticipated match kicks off at—guess what time?—7:30 p.m.! Clover is looking to build on a strong performance against Fort Mill, where they won 33-3. But Northwestern’s offense has been a juggernaut, averaging 49 points per game. It’s going to be fun to see if Clover can keep up!
It’s an action-packed weekend for high school football, and whether you’re sitting in the stands, watching from home, or catching the excitement with friends, these games promise plenty of unforgettable moments. Don’t forget to wear your team colors and show your support! Go teams!
