Whether you’re a die-hard supporter of your team or just love the excitement of Friday night lights, there’s something for everyone this week! Let’s dive into the matchups that will have everyone talking.
Two Teams Searching for That First Win
First up, we have the Allendale-Fairfax Tigers heading to Great Falls for a showdown between two teams looking to break into the win column. Both squads are currently sitting at 0-2, and it’s safe to say they’re eager to turn things around. Allendale-Fairfax has struggled tremendously, being outscored 71-0 in their first two games! In contrast, Great Falls has managed to put up some points but still has a challenging 14-96 deficit. This season marks the first meeting between these schools, and both will be hoping to come away with their first victory!
Freshman-Laden Armada Faces Tough Competition
In another intriguing matchup, the Atlantic Collegiate Armada will visit Lewisville, boasting a record of 2-0. The Armada has had a tough start, being outscored 89-7 across their two games. It’s a youthful roster filled with freshmen and sophomores, which explains their struggles. On the other hand, Lewisville’s quarterback Zack Rogers has been making waves, contributing to all but one of Lewisville’s nine touchdowns this season. Expect Rogers to keep the momentum going!
Fort Mill Faces Off Against Blythewood
Next on our list is the battle between Blythewood (2-0) and Fort Mill (1-0). This matchup promises to be electrifying, especially with Fort Mill’s defense coming off an impressive performance where they forced three turnovers and dealt out a 56-0 challenge to Ballantyne Ridge. However, they will have their work cut out for them against Blythewood’s unstoppable aerial game led by quarterback John Henry Collins and standout receiver Benjamin Hendrix, who is averaging an awe-inspiring 105 receiving yards per game!
Regular Ground Game Showdown
The Buford Yellowjackets (1-1) will hit the road to face Highland Tech (1-0) in Gastonia. Highland Tech recently snapped a dreadful 31-game losing streak, while Buford aims to get their ground game humming, led by quarterback Noah Crump and running back Antonio Ames. Both teams are looking to build on their successes and prove their worth on the field.
High-Power Offense Meets Tough Defense
Meanwhile, Catawba Ridge (1-1) visits Chester (0-1). Catawba Ridge has had strong offensive performances, with quarterback C.J. Couch averaging 290 passing yards per game. However, they have to watch out for Chester, who picked off three passes in their opener! Last season, Chester defeated Catawba Ridge, so expect lots of intensity here.
Indian Land Ready to Thrive
Additionally, the undefeated Indian Land Warriors (2-0) will take on Andrew Jackson (0-1). Running back Jamol Horton is demonstrating his skills on the field, averaging about 85 rushing yards per game. Indian Land’s defense has been formidable, coming up with key big plays when needed. But the Volunteers are hungry for a win, having given up 450 yards of offense last week.

We’ve got a packed night with Palisades at Clover, River Bluff visiting Nation Ford, and Rock Hill clashing with Lancaster. Each of these games is set for kickoff at 7:30 p.m., making it a perfect Friday night for local excitement and fanfare.
