Another fall Friday night is in the rearview, and Week 7 of the high school football season did not disappoint in the Lowco. We had 10 games on the slate, including the Hometown Showdown, where May River maintained its recent dominance over Bluffton.
We’ll have full recaps of every game, plus photo galleries and video highlights from select games, throughout the weekend, but here’s your first glance at all the action from Week 7 in the Lowco First Down:
May River 30, Bluffton 3: Garvin Douglas topped 200 yards rushing with two TDs and threw a 71-yard TD pass on the first play from scrimmage as the Sharks stymied the rival Bobcats in the Hometown Showdown.
Hilton Head High 34, Colleton County 6: Chase McCracken and Jaylen Sneed each scored a pair of rushing touchdowns to help the Seahawks pull away for a big region win in their debut on their new home turf.
Beaufort High 16, James Island 0: Joe Caprarola booted three field goals and Tyler Haley scored a rushing touchdown, but the Eagles’ defense stole the show with a shutout of the Trojans.
