Naturally, there are some key head-to-head match-ups we’re looking forward to getting eyes on. Prep Red Zone South Carolina will be covering Hartsville-Myrtle Beach and will then have an opportunity to break down film from the other two.
This is who we’ll be keeping the closest tabs on in each of the three games.
Fort Dorchester (5-0) at Goose Creek (4-2)
It’s a non-region game, but given the potential for a playoff rematch and the amount of star power on the field, it’s impossible to ignore this Lowcountry clash.

Hartsville (2-3, 2-0) at Myrtle Beach (3-1, 2-0)
Another potential slugfest is on the docket in Region VI-4A this week, with Hartsville’s high-powered rushing attack – led by Carmello McDaniel Carmello McDaniel 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB Hartsville | 2024 State SC and J’Shawn Anderson J’Shawn Anderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Hartsville | 2023 State SC – going up against the Seahawks’ passing attack centered around quarterback Ryan Burger Ryan Burger 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB Myrtle Beach | 2022 State SC , Adam Randall Adam Randall 6'3" | 200 lbs | WR Myrtle Beach | 2022 State SC , Jake Doty and others.

Whomever gets a push there will make major waves toward deciding the outcome.
May River (4-2, 1-0) at Bluffton (2-3, 1-0)
