--Lamar is playing great. They're undefefeated and took down rival Timmonsville 26-6 on the road. By the way, their 3 wins...all on the road! I think running back Jerrod Dargan is the real deal and this team will be one to keep an eye on come playoff time
--Don't make too much out of Myrtle Beach's lopsided loss to Byrnes. Byrnes is going to beat a lot of people like that this season. They have Marcus Lattimore, whom rivals calls the #2 running back in the country...and plenty more Division 1A talent. Myrtle Beach is still the best in their region and still on a path where they can challenge for another 3A Lower State Championship...don't panic just yet
--Speaking of 3A Lower State Championship...man will that be tough to come by! We know Myrtle Beach is good, but has anyone looked better so far than Lake City? 69-0 last week?? Marlboro County is rolling over good opponents! Wilson looked excellent against South Florence...man, that will be tough. If Crestwood or a team from outside our area takes that title...I'd be surprised
--Speaking of Wilson, huge bellweather game for them against Hartsville this week. The Red Foxes have shown the ability to make scorekeepers retire mid-game...Wilson took out South Florence in a shootout...fans of offense, make your way to Florence Thursday night for a good one
--Props to Carolina Forest. They hung in and came back for their first regular season win in a good long time over North Myrtle Beach. That team may not be fighting for state titles, but they go out during the summer and run, lift weights and work just as hard as anyone...good to see their work pay off with a W.
