One team earned their first win of the 2021 season while two players really showcased themselves on the road in a hostile environment and one junior running back scored the game winning touchdown in a triple overtime win.
- 2023 Fort Mill L/S, OLB Gannon Burt (@GannonBurt) had two interceptions, including a pick-six in a thrilling 21-13 win over Lugoff Elgin, the Yellow Jackets’ first win of the 2021 season. Burt is really coming on strong at the OLB position as he also recorded a tackle for loss as well.
Amazing game Friday night, and a long overdue win! 8 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 2 INT, one was a pic 6! And great snaps @TheChrisRubio! @FMHSFOOTBALL21 @finchmachine @TSSpeedAcademy @Coach_ARobinson pic.twitter.com/DNc9f8npBW

- 2023 South Pointe DL AJ Miller (@Ajmiller92) has had a strong start to the 2021 season, recording 9 sacks in the first 3 games, despite a two-week team pause due to COVID-19.
HUDL highlights from the first few games
- 2022 Northwestern DT William Monroe (@WillMonroe33) was active in last Friday’s 28-7 win on the road against Greenville. He harassed the opposing offensive line, getting into the backfield multiple times and affecting the quarterback’s throws.
HUDL highlight from last Friday
- 2022 Northwestern QB Will Mattison Will Mattison 6'4" | 190 lbs | QB Northwestern | 2022 State SC (@Will1Mattison) has been on a tear in the first few weeks of the season, including last Friday’s win over Greenville. He has completed 65% of his passes and thrown for 17 touchdowns so far in 2021.
- 2022 Crestwood LB Derrick Prince Derrick Prince 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB Crestwood | 2022 State SC (@TheRealDPrince5) is one of the more quicker reacting, downhill backers that we’ve seen in our statewide evaluations. He hits the hole at the right time and brings the heat when he does. Don’t underestimate his ability to cover and defeat blocks in space as well.
HUDL highlights from the first few games
