WESTMINSTER — Following a hard-fought 8-7 win over Carolina on Sept. 24, the Liberty Red Devils went into this week looking to continue their momentum with another win as region play began.
They were able to do just that with a 33-21 victory over the West-Oak Warriors to move to 2-2 on the season.
The first two plays of the game were indicative of what was to come, as flags flew with penalties on both West-Oak and Liberty. Overall, Liberty racked up 14 penalties for a total of 119 yards. In a typical game, that would be more than

WALHALLA — The Pickens Blue Flame hit the road again last Friday night, looking for their first region win of the 2021 season, but the

but again this week a second-half defensive collapse cost Chad Smith’s team. Pickens was

ANDERSON — As good as the Easley Green Wave football team played the previous week in a win at Woodmont, the performance was 
equally bad Friday night in the Region I-4A opener at Westside.
Westside took advantage of special teams issues, converted two interceptions into scores and finished 7-of-7 on
two-point conversions in rolling to the 58-20 win.
How bad were the special teams errors?
Just like the Daniel game, and the second half versus Woodmont, Easley had trouble fielding an onside kick. This one, following the first

CENTRAL — After running through their non-conference slate, the Daniel Lions entered region play on Friday against rival Seneca and 
with just a touchdown lead heading into the fourth quarter, the Lions seemed
like they might be in real trouble for the first time on the short season.
With time winding down in the game, Daniel head coach Jeff Fruster had one message for his team.
“Find a way to finish,” Fruster said. “That’s what good teams do.”
Nobody took that message to heart more than junior running back Chris Edge. After being held to just 12 yards
