<p>The Green Wave were shut out by Sumter, 16-0, last weekend. They went into Friday night's game against Goose Creek determined to get the offense back on track. Mission accomplished.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Summerville (4-1) scored touchdowns on its first two offensive snaps of the game and cruised to a 56-30 win over the 0-5 Gators. The game featured plenty of offense from both teams, but the Green Wave's balanced attack proved to be too much to handle. Summerville had nearly 500 total yards in offense.</p>

<p>“It's preparation, want to,” Summerville head coach Ian Rafferty said of the offense. “We have good schemes and good coaches. We have some dangerous guys. We can take it to the house from anywhere.”</p>

<p>2023 running back <strong>Marquez Spells</strong> rushed for more than 200 yards and scored on runs of 59, 80 and seven yards. It was Spells who got the train rolling on the first play of the game, scampering up the middle untouched on his 59-yard score.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Spells continues to display great quickness in hitting the hole and great speed in the open field. He also great hands if needed in the passing game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Junior Trae Green is a great compliment to Spells in the running game. Green is more of a physical runner inside and gets tough yardage. He scored three times in the win over Goose Creek.</p>

<p>2023 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='262638' first='Campbell' last='McCurry'] threw a pair of touchdown passes to 2024 receiver <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='998693' first='Quintrelle' last='Pettiford']. </strong>The pair hooked up on Summerville's second offensive snap for a 73-yard score. Pettiford has emerged as a big threat opposite another quality 2024 pass-catcher, <strong>Yannick Smith</strong>. McCurry, who recently made a baseball commitment to Newberry College, finished with just under 150 passing yards.</p>

<p>2023 [player_tooltip player_id='262614' first='Drew' last='Inabinet'] anchors an offensive line with plenty of size, Inabinet is 6-6, 320 and shows definite next level potential as a guard.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Summerville's defense got burned a bit in the passing game but Goose Creek 2023 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='91143' first='Drew' last='Moore'] is one of the better throwers in the Lower State. Moore, a Mercer commit, was especially effective in the first half, throwing for 170 yards and scoring twice on keepers to give the Gators a fighting chance.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2023 receiver <strong>Troy Reid</strong> caught a pair of touchdown passes and shows good hands and toughness. Another tough receiver is 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='448997' first='Davion' last='Malloy'], who had a half dozen grabs in the game,</p>
