Scott’s Branch won’t overlook Raiders
Going into every game, Scott’s Branch High School head football coach Leonard Johnson asks just a few simple things of his team. Included in that are that his defense make a couple of stops and that the offense pick up four yards each play in the Hammer offense. Against Timmonsville last week, the Eagles’ defense was up to the task.

If the Knights lose at Darlington on Friday, the season finale against Sumter County School District Two rival Lakewood becomes as insignificant as a poncho on a scuba diver.
