The boys (2-5, 0-2) did not play region opponent Lugoff-Elgin last week because of Covid. They were scheduled to take on Dreher Tuesday and Friday, but those games are also in Covid limbo because the Dreher boys team suspended all activity for two weeks beginning Jan. 11. The Redhawks played at Ridge View Wednesday night, but scores were not available at press time.
The girls play host to Dreher Friday. Both boys and girls play at home against Irmo Tuesday,
