<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some fresh faces have joined the conversation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Week 8 Game Balls for the Grand Strand and Pee Dee includes three quarterbacks, two tailbacks, two receivers and a defensive end who made sure his team stayed undefeated against its last big regular-season opponent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1165108' first='Zori' last='Pierce']</strong> QB and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1250948' first='Zoom' last='Jackson']</strong> WR, Lamar - After starting the season 1-3, the Silver Foxes are starting to find their groove, thanks in large part to Pierce and Jackson. In the 48-20 win over Hannah-Pamplico - Lamar's fifth straight victory - Jackson hauled in six receptions for 172 yards and three touchdowns. For Pierce, a sophomore, he had his biggest game to date, finishing with 329 yards and five touchdowns through the air and another 64 yards and score on the ground. Pierce's touchdown-interception ratio this year now stands at 17-to-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1142600' first='Terrance' last='Moorer']</strong> DL, South Florence - Myrtle Beach knows it lost to South in a vital region content for a few reasons, but Moorer might have been the biggest. Among the defensive end's big night: 4.5 tackles, two tackles for loss, an interception and three huge sacks. His biggest play of the game, however, didn't even show up on his stat line. While coming off the edge, he forced Myrtle Beach quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1254177' first='Gibson' last='Goodroe']</strong> back into the middle of the line where <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='809742' first='Amare' last='Adams']</strong> was waiting to deliver a game-changing hit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139313' first='Rocco' last='Wojcik']</strong> QB, and <strong>Hayes Hardwick</strong> WR, Socastee - With the Braves trailing by seven point to Conway in what amounted to a de facto playoff elimination game, Wojcik (pictured) and Hayes kept Socastee's prospects viable. Of Wojcik's 222 passing yards and three touchdown passes, two went to Hardwick in the fourth quarter. It turned a 21-14 deficit into a 27-21 victory that will send Socastee to the postseason barring some crazy happening in the next two weeks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15400770/652ac269ff0209027098b0e5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652c7f91ac5d4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1012592' first='Hakeem' last='Watters']</strong> RB, Hartsville - Watters didn't disappoint in his second game without normal backfield mate <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='208339' first='Carmello' last='McDaniel']</strong> - still out after taking a big hit against South two weeks ago. In the win over North Myrtle Beach, Watters used only 12 carries to pile up 215 yards and four touchdowns. He also caught a pair of passes and turned them into an another 41 yards. It was Watters' third 200-yard rushing performance of the season and he's now 1,079 yards and 16 touchdowns for the year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16294483/652ac0ae0661450718e584d7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-652c7f91ac606"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='346196' first='Jamarion' last='Fling']</strong> RB, Dillon - The second half of the year has been Fling's coming out party, and he kept that trend going in what appears to be the biggest win of the Wildcats' season to date. In dispatching previously undefeated Manning, Fling rushed 34 times for 181 and four more touchdowns. He also hauled in two passes for another 74 yards, with both of the receptions going for 36-plus. Fling (950 rushing yards, 21 touchdowns) has developed into a handful for opponents in a hurry.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='295367' first='Gabe' last='Cusack']</strong> QB, Marion - Cusack has been Marion's starting quarterback for four seasons.
