After fumbling on the first two drives, Lake View coach Jewell McLaurin must have been thinking, “Isn’t this the reason why we didn’t play on Friday?“
The Wild Gators didn’t look much like region champs in the first half, fumbling three times and falling behind Hemingway 12-0.
But like they’ve done so many times before, they found a way to win.

The Marlboro County public address anouncer said before Friday’s game that it was “football weather.“
And it was—provided you don’t much care for offense.
In a classic defensive struggle enhanced by poor playing conditions, the Marlboro defense made plays when it had to and was pretty much responsible for 13 of Marlboro’s 20 points.

It’s been quite a year for the West Florence Knights.
And it got even wilder on Friday.
The Knights, all but left for dead in the playoff race, pulled off an amazing game against one of the best teams in the area.

A lot of people will point to Hartsville coach Jeff Calabrese’s third quarter gamble as the main reason Hartsville wound up on the short end of a 36-28 score to Conway.
But with a whole quarter left to play and the Red Foxes still nursing a 28-16 lead, that’s debatable at the least.
But one thing’s for sure: It did change the momentum in Conway’s favor.

West Florence has a tough road ahead.
After starting the season 5-0, the Knights have now lost back-to-back games, including their Region 6-4A opener. West’s offensive output in those two games: 10 points - a field goal against Wilson and a late touchdown against Conway.
That’s bad news for the Knights. Their next two opponents, Sumter and Hartsville, lead the region in points scored.
