River Bluff at Nation Ford – The Falcons’ 2021 campaign is off to an 0-2 start, but the good news is they still have potent weapons on offense including senior quarterback Carson Black Carson Black 6'3" | 190 lbs | QB Nation Ford | 2023 State SC (@CarsonBlack16), who will be looking to help them get into a rhythm. Wide receiver Brooks Johnson (@brooksjohnson4_) scored his first touchdown last week against Catawba Ridge and figures to be a formidable challenge at the slot position. On defense, linebacker Jadon Washington is instinctive and that will be something to watch.
Northwestern at Clover – This non-region game will feature two of the top receivers in the area in Trojans junior wide receiver Elijah Caldwell Elijah Caldwell 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Northwestern | 2023 State SC (@7Caldwell_), who had three touchdowns against Rock Hill last week and Blue Eagles senior wideout Darius Bowser Darius Bowser 6'1" | 195 lbs | WR Clover | 2022 State SC (@BowserDarius), who made an unbelievable grab on the Hail Mary in their contest last week against Myers Park. We will be interested to find out which secondary will be up to the challenge. Will it be Northwestern senior linebacker Austin Wilkes (@DaAnswer_5), who had a pick-six last week or Clover’s Sage Penninger (@PenningerSage), who has the capability to make tackles in space.
Greenwood at Catawba Ridge – The duo of quarterback Jadyn Davis Jadyn Davis 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Providence Day | 2024 State NC (@iamjadyndavis) and wide receiver Jacobie Henderson Jacobie Henderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Catawba Ridge | 2022 State SC (@cobieh10) has been active in the first few weeks of the season. There’s no reason to believe that won’t continue on Friday in this battle of undefeated teams in Class 3A Football. Defensive lineman Asa Johnson Asa Johnson 5'11" | 260 lbs | DL Catawba Ridge | 2022 State SC (@Asajohnson55) will also be a guy to watch on Friday night as he and the Copperhead defensive line go up against the Greenwood running game led by Ve Morton (@VeMorton5).
Cox Mill (NC) at York – York’s 2021 season will finally get underway after being shut down for the last several weeks due to COVID-19 issues within the program. We will be interested to see who will take the reins after they went with two quarterbacks when they last played at the WRHI Football City USA Kickoff.
Rock Hill’s game against Gaffney has been cancelled.
