This weekend is shaping up to be an absolute thrill for high school football fans in and around Your city. With several key matchups on the slate, local teams are ready to light up the field under the Friday night lights. Let’s break down some of the games we can’t wait to watch, starting with A.C. Flora against South Pointe.
The action kicks off at 7:30 p.m. as A.C. Flora travels to face South Pointe. The Falcons come into the game boasting a 3-1 record, while South Pointe holds a record of 2-2. Last week, South Pointe faced a fierce aerial assault from Northwestern, and they’re bracing to tackle yet another explosive passing game led by A.C. Flora’s QB, Rofer Wentzky. Wentzky has been brilliant so far, racking up 2,075 yards with 12 touchdowns and managing to keep interceptions down to just three. To counteract Flora’s offense, South Pointe will look to control the clock with their rushing attack spearheaded by Mason Pickett-Hicks, who’s piled up 470 rushing yards this season.
In a battle that starts at the same time, Andrew Jackson hopes to improve from their tough 0-3 start as they visit Lewisville, who stands at 3-1. The Volunteers have encountered some defensive struggles this season, but they feature a solid offense with emerging talents like Damius Seegars, who impressed last week with both a running and passing score. Meanwhile, Lewisville is reeling from a tough loss against Fairfield Central but has plenty of fight left, so expect an intense game as both teams look to redeem themselves!
Next up, we have a unique matchup between Bullford and Great Falls, both at 1-3. Surprisingly, these two teams, which are only 24 miles apart, have only faced each other twice in the past decade! With each team pasting victories against the other, it’s anyone’s game as both sides feature strong defenses, suggesting we might be in for a low-scoring showdown.
Another raw excitement spotlights the game between Catawba Ridge and Fort Mill, both set to start at 7:30 p.m. This game is especially significant as it marks the region opener for both schools. Catawba Ridge QB C.J. Couch has been a force this season, throwing for an impressive 1,080 yards. His top targets include WRs Josh Ameo and Braylen Burgis, propelling the Copperheads to an average of 37 points per game. On the flip side, Fort Mill’s QB Quinn Kelly had a notable performance last week against Lancaster, throwing for 223 yards, and the Yellowjackets hope to bring their explosive form into this regional contest.
Another interesting one to catch is between Dreher and York, which is intriguing as it marks the first matchup in at least 25 years! York’s offense seems to have found its rhythm lately, with QB Tayshon Freeman accumulating 840 passing yards in just four games, promising to deliver an exciting encounter.
Bouncing back from some recent off-field challenges, Nation Ford, at 1-3, will face off against the powerhouse Northwestern, who comes in with a flawless 4-0 record. With the sudden resignation of head coach Michael Allen, the team looks to newfound leader Jason McManus—previously the offensive coordinator—to rally the troops. Expect an exciting aerial duel, with both quarterbacks, Carson Sanford from Nation Ford and Finley Polk from Northwestern, pushing for yardage.
Last but certainly not least, Rock Hill travels to take on Clover, with Clover primed to defend their region championship. Clover, who already boasts a solid two-game winning streak, will look to capitalize on Landon Stone‘s impressive rushing from last season, while Rock Hill will aim to disrupt their defense bolstered by standout WR Malik Clark.
So, grab your popcorn and get ready for an action-packed Friday evening! It’s all about the passion and spirit of high school football, and this weekend, our teams are ready to make some unforgettable memories!
