Well, I have to take my furlough week beginning Monday so I am going ahead and posting my picks for this week. I hate to say it, but I see a lot of blowouts this week. The one exception is South Florence at Conway, which has major playoff implications. The winner is in good shape for the region's third seed while the loser will have to sweat out a possible at-large bid that may not come. I think Kingstree may be able to put a scare into Waccamaw if the Warriors aren't paying attention and Socastee has been playing a lot better, so it will be interesting to see how the Braves stack up against Lake City.
Below are my picks this week (last week 7-4, overall 66-24):
Carvers Bay 40, Creek Bridge 0
Conway 28, South Florence 24
Dillon 35, Loris 14
East Bladen (N.C.) 38, South Columbus (N.C.) 28
Hemingway 42, Green Sea Floyds 7
Lake City 49, Socastee 21
Manning 52, Andrews 14
Mullins 42, Aynor 21
Myrtle Beach 63, Georgetown 7
North Myrtle Beach 35, St. James 14
Sumter 49, Carolina Forest 14
Waccamaw 56, Kingstree 21
