GSPD Week 7 Game Balls

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Football has never been a one-player game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 in the Grand Strand and Pee Dee only furthered that fact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Game Balls from this zone this weekend are mostly highlighted by those who took the group project at hand and understood the task before them. We saw teammates putting up big numbers - at times on both sides of the ball - running backs taking turns busting up opponents and even an offensive line that showed its dominance through diversity.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each of these honorees earned their stripes in Week 7.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1148537' first='Jaryn' last='Fox']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1149046' first='Chris' last='Livingston']</strong> RBs, Carolina Forest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A whole bunch of Panthers put up big numbers in the 48-point win against St. James. But Fox and Livingston are the biggest daggers of the bunch. Fox needed only nine carries to reach 156 yards - his third straight game with at least that much - and two touchdown. Livingston, the team's primary back-up, scored two touchdowns and finished with 76 yards on only six carries. Those two now have combined for 17 rushing scores this year, and Livingston has scored at least once in all five games he's played.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18348348/670aa9acc923ea22103237a0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670b344bc34ee"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1025778' first='Domanick' last='Felton']</strong> RB and <strong>Zamarious Robertson</strong> WR/DB, Dillon&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wildcats missed Robertson during his injury-related absence. And while he came back a week ago and caught 99 yards worth of passes against Loris, he made a bigger impact in the lopsided win over Aynor. Robertson picked off a pass and with just three receptions reached the end zone twice en route to 86 yards. Felton, meanwhile, needed all of five carries to put up 134 yards and three touchdowns.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17989231/670a88f9162b5fc21381e930' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670b344bc352d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='922678' first='Wade' last='Poston']</strong> QB, Hannah-Pamplico</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Region win No. 3 for the Raiders came in the form of a 42-7 win over Green Sea Floyds. Poston (pictured) was efficient and effective in the process. The senior finished the game 12-of-15 passing for 146 yards and three touchdowns and added another 68 yards on the ground. It pushed Hannah-Pamplico to its third region win heading into the team's predetermined off week.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592487' first='Tristian' last='Spann']</strong> WR, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='922400' first='Jackson' last='Chavis']</strong> DL and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1012620' first='Web' last='Barnes']</strong> LB, Hartsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since losing by eight points to Camden on September 6, the Red Foxes have found a new gear. They've beaten each of their last four opponents by double digits; that includes Friday's 41-7 win over Crestwood. Spann caught two passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Chavis pumped out three tackles for loss to go alone with a sack and six total stops. And Barnes finished with 11 tackles, a sack and even a rushing touchdown - a new wrinkle Hartsville is adding to the equation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16747313/670a7add202b8296d0314a47' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670b344bc355d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1656668' first='Khalid' last='Sherman']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422629' first='Roderick' last='Purcha']</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422632' first='Makel' last='Stephens']</strong> RB Loris</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Lions quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='797160' first='Moon' last='Gerald'] only has to attempt eight passes in a game, that means the running game is going just fine. That's exactly what happened against Waccamaw on Friday. Sherman finished the game with eight carries for 126 yards and a touchdown. Stephens had five carries for 77 yards and three touchdowns. Purcha wrapped it up with 10 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. The 293 yards and five scores was plenty good enough to overwhelm the Warriors.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574049' first='Jeffery' last='Ceasar'] </strong>WR/DB and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592198' first='Jontavious' last='Canty']</strong> RB/LB Manning</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Monarchs ran their win streak to six games with a statement region victory at home against Mullins. During the 33-6 win, Ceasar and Canty were both highly effective on both sides of the ball. Ceasar added a 99-yard pick-six to three tackles, a tackle for loss and eight receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown. Canty rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown on offense and led Manning with 12 tackles from his spot at linebacker.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18584331/670aa570060b2f1f3d982646' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670b344bc358a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574055' first='Drew' last='Prince']</strong> RB, North Myrtle Beach</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the blink of an eye, the Chiefs went from a winless squad to one that has now all but guaranteed itself a playoff spot after picking up a pair of region victories. Prince is the biggest reason why. After rushing for 178 yards and catching a pass for 54 yards in the win over Conway last week, he followed it up by rushing for 194 yards and two touchdowns in the win against Socastee. Prince is up to 695 yards on the season and looks primed for a 1,000-yard campaign&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157891' first='Jayden' last='Granger']</strong> (LT), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578887' first='Barry' last='McLaughlin']</strong> (LG), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574065' first='EJ' last='King']</strong> (C), <strong>Jerry Genright</strong> (RG) and <strong>Josiah Mason</strong> (RT) OL, South Florence&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bruins aren't the team they were each of the last two seasons, according to coach Drew Marlowe, anyway. But what South has started to become adept at doing is spreading the ball all over the place on offense. And those five starting linemen are probably not getting some of the credit they deserve. In a 42-12 win against Lakewood on Friday, they allowed quarterback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1166986' first='Messiah' last='Jackson']</strong> to throw for three more touchdowns (to three different receivers) and three different players - led by tailback <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='272717' first='Tre' last='Leonard']</strong> (137 yards, one touchdown) - to rush for one.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18473344/670a7bdd7735344ee00f368d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670b344bc35b7"} /-->
