BLYTHEWOOD – The Westwood offense against Region IV-4A rival Blythewood Friday night centered on Rudy Mitchell. It wasn’t that Mitchell sparked the offense or made the right run at the right time. Mitchell was the Redhawks offense in a 35-31 victory over the Bengals. Mitchell carried the ball 41 times and rushed for a school-record […]

Sophomore Running Back Propels Griffins to Win COLUMBIA – Maybe Fairfield Central’s offense didn’t bring their ‘A’ game into Bolden Stadium Friday night. Head coach Demetrius Davis certainly didn’t think so. But his defense dug their heels in firmly enough to shut out the Keenan Raiders, while a pair of touchdown runs from Tony […]
Turnovers Sink Blazers
October 20, 2015 By
BLYTHEWOOD – The Westwood Redhawks hosted the Ridge View Blazers Friday night at Richland 2 Stadium for a region football game. With Ridge View coming off a victory against the tough Dutch Fork Silver Foxes, it would seem like the Redhawks would have their hands full of Blazer; but it was not so, as Westwood […]
Hawks Overpower Richard Winn
October 19, 2015 By
WINNSBORO – Richard Winn Academy (6-2, 4-2) looked for a chance Friday to make amends for last week’s first loss in 54 weeks. Greenwood Christian (7-1, 5-1) had other plans, dropping the Eagles 56-23 and handing Richard Winn their first two-game losing streak in two years. “We’re fighting for our football lives now,” RWA head […]
Foxes Outlast Blythewood
October 17, 2015 By
BLYTHEWOOD – Because of the flooding two weeks ago, Blythewood had postponed last week’s scheduled Region IV-4A opener at Spring Valley to Tuesday, then postponed the game again to Nov. 13. Dutch Fork, on the other hand, opened its region slate with a 28-21 loss to Ridge View at District 2 Stadium Tuesday night. Just […]
McManus, Griffins Carve Up Pelion
October 17, 2015 By
WINNSBORO – It was a quiet second half at E.K. McLendon Stadium Friday night as both the Fairfield Central Griffins and the visiting Pelion Panthers were held off the scoreboard. The first half, however, was the proverbial highlight reel for the Griffins and their quarterback, Stanley McManus. McManus carved up the Pelion secondary for 214 […]
Mitchell, Hawks Decimate Demons
October 14, 2015 By
LUGOFF – The weather issues of the last several days caused the game scheduled for Friday to be moved ahead to Monday. The Westwood Redhawks travelled to Lugoff to play Lugoff-Elgin High School and came home a convincing 56-14 winner. League rules prevented the Redhawks from practicing during the week out of school, and instead […]
Eagle Rally Comes Up Short
October 14, 2015 By
JOHNSTON – Richard Winn Academy arrived in Johnston Friday night coming off a two-week hiatus due to the weather that pummeled the state. Down 20-13 at the half to the Patriots of Wardlaw Academy, the Eagles put together a second-half rally, but came up short, suffering their first loss of the season, 38-33. The Eagles […]
Griffins Down Dogs, Werts and All
October 10, 2015 By
WINNSBORO – One more play. At the end of Friday night’s clash of Region III 2A titans, the Fairfield Central Griffins made one more play than did the Newberry Bulldogs. Trailing 29-21, the Dogs had just marched 72 yards, and with 1:45 left in the game, Amir Abrams punched in the score from 3 yards […]
Mitchell, Hawks Dark and Stormy for Knights
October 7, 2015 By
FLORENCE — Home-field advantage hasn’t been much of a luxury for West Florence so far in 2015, but playing within the confines of Memorial Stadium for just the second time this season mattered little for the Knights against Westwood on Thursday night. The Redhawk offense pushed the gas pedal to the floorboard on its first […]
