Weird week, huh? We planned on a full slate of high school football games Friday and ended up picking up the pieces from a storm that shook us a bit but devastated others. But we managed to sneak in six high school football games over a six-day span amongst the chaos, and here’s everything you need to know from Week 6 in Lowco First Down.
WEDNESDAY’S GAMES
SCHSL
Stratford 41, Colleton Co. 14
The Cougars couldn’t contain Stratford receiver J’qwan Crosby, who snagged six passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns as Jachin Davis’ favorite target and sent the Cougars to a home loss. Davis was 11-of-14 for 253 yards and four TDs and staked the Knights to a 34-14 halftime lead. Sean Williams threw a long touchdown pass and Kenari Koger added a rushing TD for the Cougars.
Up next: Colleton Co. (1-4) vs. May River (10/4)
SCISA
Jefferson Davis 70, Cross Schools 12
The Raiders’ powerful run game rolled over the Stingrays to the tune of 413 yards in a lopsided 8-man contest, bringing Cross back to reality a week after earning its first win. Nasir Void had 123 yards and four TDs, while Dalton Nix added 133 yards and two scores, and James Grubbs tacked on 110 yards and a TD to lead JDA.
Up next: Cross Schools (1-5) at The King’s Academy (10/4)
FRIDAY’S GAMES
SCISA
Pinewood Prep 60, HHCA 20
The Panthers gashed for Eagles for more than 700 yards of total offense, including nearly 500 on the ground, to establish themselves as the frontrunner in SCISA Region 1-3A. Jeremiah Singleton piled up 420 rushing yards and three TDs, and Asa Windham was 22-of-27 for 237 yards and three TDs to lead Pinewood Prep. Reid McCollum finished 21-of-42 for 275 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions and added 60 yards and a TD on the ground, and Harrison Arnholt had six catches for 136 yards for HHCA.

Mikell Tucker Mathis rushed for 126 yards and two TDs and threw two touchdown passes, and Spencer Kelehear and Jacob Corley anchored the defense to help the Patriots nail down a region win on the road. Rylin Brunson rushed for 59 yards on 11 carries and caught a TD pass along with five tackles on defense, and Bryton Peeples hauled in a 68-yard TD pass. Kelehear and Corley each collected 10 tackles and a sack, and Corley added an interception.

Beaufort Academy 39, Colleton Prep 20
BA’s Nych Underwood racked up a career-high 241 yards to go over 1,000 for the season and scored two touchdowns, and Dietrich Shuford rushed for 102 yards and a score and went 12-of-16 for 214 yards with a TD and an interception in a key region win at home. Devin Fripp hauled in a bomb from Shuford in the end zone to make it 19-7 at halftime, and Underwood helped the Eagles hold off the War Hawks’ surge after the break. Fripp had three catches for 65 yards and a score along with seven tackles, while Nic Shuford caught four passes for 86 yards and collected six tackles, and Keeler Dineen had a team-high 10 tackles.

MONDAY’S GAMES
SCISA
Hilton Head Prep 29, Dillon Christian 8
Wyatt Harmer threw two touchdown passes, Davis Cargill had a big game on the ground and added a TD pass on a trick play, and Hilton Head Prep’s defense shut down the Warriors for a big region win on homecoming. Aiven Lorenz and Wyatt Butler were each on the receiving end of touchdown passes from Harmer, and Lorenz hauled in a scoring toss from Cargill to open the scoring. The Dolphins limited Dillon Christian to 69 rushing yards and 80 of the Warriors’ 176 passing yards came on one play — their lone touchdown.
