There are a couple of intriguing games on the schedule this week. The Waccamaw at Manning game should be a good one. Manning is very talented and Waccamaw may be catching them at exactly the wrong time, but the Warriors should put up some points in that one. It would be huge for Waccamaw to win that game and get a home playoff game. Carolina Forest plays a winless West Florence team but the Panthers aren't far enough along that they can look past anyone. West Florence played both Wilson and Camden relatively close and they could definitely knock off the Panthers. And despite a poor record, Andrews could be an upset away from a playoff berth. The 28-6 loss to Manning is another better-than-expected loss from what I see, so who knows, maybe the Yellow Jackets can knock off the Hawks and everything else breaks their way for a playoff berth in Steve Blanchard's first season. Of course that probably means a trip to Dillon.
