High School Football: Gators' Final Home Game

Update: 

We're getting close to the end of the season as teams finish up their regular games over the next two weeks.

Friday football kicks off early again this week with Cane Bay hosting Berkeley High on Thursday night, for MyTV Charleston's Thursday Night Lights. At 6-3, Cane Bay appears to have an advantage over Berkeley, at 4-5. But both teams are going to want to finish the season strong … and, its televised.

The Goose Creek Gators (8-1) will be hosting Ashley Ridge (7-2) for the final home game of the regular season. Last week, Wando broke through the solid Goose Creek defensive line, scoring a respectable 28 points. Of course, that success was muted by the 72 points scored by the Gators. Ashley Ridge will have to learn from Wando's success and find a way to stop Goose Creek's offense.

Hanahan struggled through the first month of this season, losing four-in-a-row. But they were the right four games to lose. Since then, they've been on a winning streak. Now 5-4 and undefeated in their division, Hanahan heads to Woodland High on Friday night for a make-or-break game to prove the No. 1 team.

Stratford High travels to James Island on Friday night. At 7-2, the Knights are hoping for another win.

In the News:

• Lots of interest in Chris Brown's decision on Notre Dame. S.C. Prep Nation talked to him about his latest trip.
• Hanahan's Anthony Smalls was The Post and Courier's Player of the Week.
