HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL WEEK 1

The High School football season started last Friday night with a few Week 0 games. The game that I went to was the Gaffney @ Boiling Springs game. What was a blowout statistically and score wise through three quarters turned into a fight for survival in the 4th quarter for Gaffney. The Indians stopped a 4th and goal at the 2 yard line with 33 seconds left to preserve the victory 21 to 14.

We have made it to Week 1 of the High School football season which is the official opening of what should be another exciting season in South Carolina. There are some very interesting games on the schedule, so lets look at some of them.

Dorman @ Gaffney..... The Indians played last week and held on to defeat Boiling Springs 21 to 14. Dorman played in a jamboree and was impressive against Laurens. These two rivals have a history of close games and this one should be no different..... Dorman 17 Gaffney 13

Hoover, Alabama vs Byrnes @ Rock Hill, SC..... This will be an interesting game to see if Byrnes can play with Hoover with all of the graduation loses the Rebels had from last season..... Hoover 24 Byrnes 16

Union County @ Spartanburg..... I see the Vikings building from the momentum of their strong showing in the playoffs last season..... Spartanburg 23 Union County 14

South Pointe @ Northwestern..... This is another national game as it is on TV after the Byrnes vs Hoover game. South Pointe might have the best player on the field, but Northwestern has the best team..... Northwestern 27 South Pointe 20

Chase, NC @ Chesnee..... The Eagles are hoping to get off to a flying start against Chase. They will..... Chesnee 28 Chase 10

Boiling Springs @ Greenwood..... The Bulldogs didn't quit last week against Gaffney, but fell short. They give another good run this week, but come up short on the road..... Greenwood 20 Boiling Springs 16

Chesterfield @ Timmonsville..... The three time defending 1A Champion Chesterfield Rams start their season where they left off last season, with a win..... Chesterfield 27
Timmonsville 14

Greer @ Rock Hill..... The Yellow Jackets were impressive in their Week 0 opener against Seneca. They will have a much stronger opponent this week as they play the Bearcats..... Rock Hill 21 Greer 14

McBee @ Blacksburg..... The Wildcats of the Iron City try to get off to a winning start against McBee. They will come up short..... McBee 17 Blacksburg 14

The ArmChair Coach will be at the Dorman @ Gaffney game Friday night. Go out and support your favorite team.

Until Next Week.
