Carolina Forest 40, Beaufort High 20: The Eagles couldn’t slow down Panthers star Luke Janack, who rushed for three TDs to help send Beaufort High to its first loss in a non-region road game. May River at Orangeburg-Wilkinson, cancelled: The hits keep coming for the Sharks, who had last week’s game against Hilton Head High lost to COVID-19 and now had a valuable non-region road test wiped out when an electrical malfunction at the Bruins’ stadium sent the Sharks home early. SCISA WEEK 10 Hilton Head Christian Academy 49, Hilton Head Prep 0: The Eagles dominated on both sides of the ball to win the final cross-island clash between the rivals before HHCA moves to Bluffton and finish the regular season undefeated. Thomas Heyward 40, Greenwood Christian 13: The Rebels rolled up a quick 40-0 lead and handed it off to the reserves to coast to a ninth consecutive victory. John Paul II 33, Beaufort Academy 32: The Golden Warriors scored with 14 seconds left to take the lead, then stopped a successful Hail Mary short of the goal line to preserve the win, but BA will make the playoffs while JPII misses out in a three-way tiebreaker for the final two spots.
