Xavier Kinlaw scored four touchdowns and called the game-clinching play in the final five minutes as Conway rallied for a 35-28 victory over South Florence Friday night to earn a berth in the state playoffs.

FLORENCE, S.C. – West Florence coach Jody Jenerette was at his wits’ end, trying to process his team’s sluggish first half against Socastee in the Knights’ first on-campus game.

On paper, Friday night’s contest between the 5-1 North Myrtle Beach Chiefs and the 0-7 Darlington Falcons should not have been close. But the Falcons proved why the games are played on the field and not on paper, knocking off the regional foe Chiefs 10-9.

Green Sea Floyds' dominance was evident Friday night during their 42-6 win over the Lake View. 

On the first Friday night of the season that could be considered fall football weather, Myrtle Beach's high-flying passing attack came out a bit cold against visiting Marlboro County.

The Loris Lions had the chance to march down the field in the final two minutes to beat Cheraw. Instead, Gage Conner saw his pass intercepted and Loris fell 24-21 at home Friday night.

When Carolina Forest appeared in the Class 5A football rankings a few weeks back, it was believed to be the first time the school had ever appeared in the state polls. And certainly, it was the Panthers’ first time as a member of the state’s largest classification in 2008.

When Aynor put on the after burners and ran away from Marion last Friday, it was a full display of the Blue Jackets’ offensive capabilities.

Another week, another seesaw game early, another late Aynor surge.

Zayshaun Rice faked a pop pass to a receiver streaking across the back field, snagged it back into his control, and then calmly connected on another first-down pass.

Myrtle Beach High's high-flying offense piled up some big statistics in Friday's 67-0 homecoming victory over Darlington, but the Seahawks' most impressive numbers were negative ones.

The Loris Lions dropped their fourth straight game Friday as they fell to Dillon 51-20.

Conway appeared to find its identity last week, pummeling West Florence with a relentless ground attack.

Carolina Forest’s record includes just one blemish — a Sept. 20 loss to Myrtle Beach — but that defeat continues to haunt the Panthers.

For the second time in less than a week, the St. James Sharks ventured to Florence to take on a region opponent and for the second time the Sharks came out on the losing end, falling to the West Florence Knights 42-14.

Here's a look at this week's prep football matchups.

Luke Doty is already considered one of the best quarterbacks in the state, if not the best.

Carolina Forest, Aynor and Green Sea Floyds all moved up one spot in their respective state football class polls, which were released Tuesday.

North Myrtle Beach coach Matt Reel understands just how big this week’s game against Wilson will be in the grand scheme of the season.

A week ago, Donnie Kiefer said he knew his team could put together a more dominating performance.

The St. James Sharks could never get on track against the South Florence Bruins Friday, falling 35-7. Friday’s contest was the first region game for both teams.

Aynor remains undefeated.

Conway returned to its roots Friday night and used a punishing ground attack to trip defending region champion West Florence by a 41-38 score at E. Craig Wall Jr. Memorial Stadium.

If you showed up a few minutes late for Friday's Socastee-Carolina Forest matchup — as many did in the standing-room-only homecoming crowd — you missed the story of the game.

In his post-game speech Friday, Matt Reel told his players their 28-7 win over Marlboro County could have been more convincing.

Many high school quarterbacks would consider what Luke Doty has done against Hartsville alone a good season.

Scores will be updated throughout the evening.

How do you know when you have a pretty good football team? When you beat your biggest rival by 32 points and one of the first words out of your mouth to describe your team's performance is "sloppy."

Carolina Forest rebounded from last week's loss to Myrtle Beach by overpowering Loris in a 49-6 rout Friday.

The Aynor Blue Jackets jumped out to a two-touchdown lead at the half and then held on to defeat the St. James Sharks 36-29 Friday.
