Just three weeks to go in the regular season, who’s in business for a region title?  And who will win the Throwdown at Kelleytown?  That’s in this week’s WLIT.

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.

Will someone please tell me why someone with any respect for themselves or their players schedule the Sumter Gamecocks for his or her school’s homecoming? That would be like my mother inviting Rush Limbaugh to speak at Mount Zion AME Church on a Sunday morning.
Well, someone at South Florence High School was that crazy.

South Carolina passed a big test Thursday night against No. 8 Kentucky, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement.

South Carolina State’s Marching 101 provided the music for Thursday night’s game be-tween Wilson and Lake City.
For the first half of Wilson’s 27-7 win, though, it seemed to me that both teams were paying more attention to S.C. State’s Champagne Girls than the game itself. In fairness to the teams, however, both defenses showed up.

So far, it seems South Carolina vs. Kentucky is just what many people figured: evenly-matched.

If the rain keeps up for most of tonight’s game, who does it favor? Maybe no one.

At 1-3 and a game against Furman, is it too early for Coastal Carolina to panic? Yes.
No one expected the Chanticleers to resemble the team that went 9-3 last season and made a trip to the postseason. They lost 36 players and have faced a brutal schedule in which four of their first five opponents were ranked at one point in the I-AA poll.

Not that it matters, but Southern Cal got bumped from No. 1 by AP poll voters for the wrong reasons.

A big upset for the Wild Gators.  But is Lake View really that good, or is Carvers Bay not as good as we thought?  I’ll tell you what I’m thinkin’ about that and more in this week’s edition.

The Gamecocks weren’t as impressive as some would have liked against Mississippi State on Saturday, but finding a way to win shows progress.

Steve Spurrier was right. South Carolina was anything but focused in the first half against Mississippi State.

If South Carolina isn’t careful today, Mississippi State could bite them where it hurts. These aren’t the same pushover Bulldogs of years past.

I’d like to thank my sports editor, Sam Bundy—not for anything job-related, but for playing Marc Bulger over Brett Favre.
Thanks to that decision, I won last week’s game in the Morning News Football League, a fantasy football league made up mostly of current and former Morning News employees we’re in.
