Eagles score late touchdown to beat Lake View 30-22, win lower state

Champions sometimes need a couple of breaks. With the score tied at 22-22 with just over a minute left in the 1A Division II lower state championship game between defending state champion Scott’s Branch High School and Lake View, the game seemed destined for overtime as Lake View was running out the clock deep in its own territory. Then the break happened.

Marlboro County holds off Lake City

Marlboro County quarterback Elliot Alford spent the entire summer reliving the Class 3A lower state championship from last year. He felt he should have made one more play to help the Bulldogs advance then. Friday night against Lake City, he made up for it.

Dillon knocks off Timberland again

For the second straight year, the Dillon Wildcats ended Timberland’s bid for a Class 2A state title and a perfect season.

Not a lot has changed at Dillon Christian during the last year or so. At least, not on the football field.

Lake City-Marlboro County matchup highlights Friday’s football playoffs.

Improved Cheraw hoping for results

Not since 2001 has Cheraw High School missed out on making it at least to the third round of the 2A football state playoffs. After a 0-3 start to this season and staring 0-4 in the face, things looked gloomy to keep that streak alive. But the Braves rallied against Central in that fourth game and have won eight of nine games to advance to the third round for the eighth straight year.
