Just a few quick notes on Friday's action and the postponed games:
First, today's schedule for Friday's postponed games:
>>West Brunswick (N.C.) at Socastee, 2 p.m. (Socastee leads 7-6, 10:17 left in second quarter)
>>Carolina Forest at Myrtle Beach, 6 p.m. (Myrtle Beach leads 7-0, 5:10 left in first quarter)
>>Waccamaw at St. James, 6 p.m. (St. James leads 7-0, halftime)
>>North Myrtle Beach 14, Loris 6 | Temmarick Hemingway was very active for North Myrtle Beach. He put plenty of pressure on the Lions quarterbacks, coming away with several pressures to go with two sacks. The Chiefs' defense as a whole is pretty solid, especially against the run. They don't have a lot of size in the secondary and that will likely hurt them against more polished quarterbacks. Speaking of quarterbacks, the Lions went with Kentrez Hilton during the second half. Adam Peterson is the team's returning starter. Hilton did give Loris a spark with his running ability on the opening two drives of the second half. The Chiefs did not win this game with its offense. Defense and special teams won this game.
>>Carvers Bay 25, Georgetown 7 | OK, Carvers Bay isn't as bad as they looked at the Battle of the Bay or nearly as down as what coach Nate Thompson was selling. The combination of Tevin Richard and Davious Chestnut has been more than enough to overcome the loss of Clayton Geathers in the backfield. It's also the second week in a row the defense has scored for the Bears, Georgetown coach Tyronne Davis had to be hoping for more out of his offense. With a returning starter at quarterback and a talented running back in Devante Geathers, it's surprising they could only get 133 yards of offense. This game was tight into the fourth quarter, but the Bears were clearly the superior team.
>>Summerville 41, Conway 6 | Conway took it on the chin pretty good. Summerville tailback DeAngelo Henderson gashed the Tigers' defense. Once the Summerville quarterback showed he couldn't hold onto the ball -- he fumbled seven times and lost four of them -- legendary coach John McKissick turned to Henderson, who responded with 273 yards rushing. Conway has now given up a shocking 600 yards rushing in its first two games. Conway's Dominique Chatman could be heard letting out a painful yell on a late kickoff return. He had to be helped off the field by two coaches. Not sure what his status is right now.
>>Lamar 26, Andrews 13 | Andrews gave Lamar a pretty good game. Remember Lamar beat Cheraw last week. Clarence Penny had 140 yards rushing for the Yellow Jackets, who had a 13-12 lead early in the third quarter. I didn't get many stats for the game, but Andrews had 260 yards rushing in the new option offense, but they didn't complete a pass. Just going by the abbreviated box score and final, I would say the debut of new Yellow Jackets coach Steve Blanchard was a success. It's only one game, but this score has to be viewed as a good sign for Andrews fans.
>>Mullins 31, Green Sea Floyds 6 | This was a tough game for the Trojans. The Actioneers had a new coach and a week to scout GSF. And GSF didn't have a lot on Mullins. The Trojans trio of Perry Oliver, Lassan Reaves and Jonathan Campbell last week combined for 177 yards on 42 carries, this week 19 carries for 49 yards.
>>South Columbus (N.C.) 42, East Columbus (N.C.) 3 | It was the type of bounce back the Stallions needed. They got big games from their stars -- Rontonio Stanley, 9 carries for 64 yards and a score; quarterback Brian Riggins, 4 carries for 52 yards and three touchdowns; and Jamal Hemingway, 8 carries for 112 yards with a rushing TD and a receiving one. The Stallions did give up 156 yards on the ground for a 4.2 average.
>>Aynor 38, Creek Bridge 30 (OT) | Aynor's Nick Asbury got on track a little with 100 yards rushing and four touchdowns, although Asbury averaged just 4 yards per carry. Blair Fleming was the Blue Jackets' second leading rusher with 88 yards on 12 carries. Creek Bridge won this game 36-6 last year, so maybe Aynor is headed in the right direction.
