In the Carolinas, excitement is building as three new teams have joined the Carolina’s Top 25 high school football poll this week, all hailing from South Carolina. The fresh contenders are Boiling Springs at No. 23, Spartanburg at No. 24, and May River taking the No. 25 spot. This weekly poll highlights the top-performing teams in the area.
Boiling Springs, who secured a dominating victory against Wade Hampton with a score of 55-14 last week, is set to face off against Spartanburg this coming week. Spartanburg is on a roll with three consecutive wins under their belt, making this matchup one to watch.
May River, based in Bluffton, is another team making waves this season. After finishing with a record of 4-7 last year and 5-6 in 2022, the Sharks have turned things around impressively this year, boasting a perfect record of 6-0. They have an exciting game lined up against their rivals, Hilton Head, who currently stands at 4-2, scheduled for Thursday night.
In other news, Hough High from Cornelius, N.C., made a significant leap, jumping eight spots to No. 5 in the poll. After starting the season with a tough loss to No. 3 Northwestern, where they lost a 20-point lead leading to a close score of 45-44, Hough has bounced back remarkably. The Huskies have won six straight games since that defeat. Hough is gearing up to host No. 13 Mallard Creek this Friday, adding to the excitement of the upcoming games.
This week’s poll showcases a dynamic mix of teams, and as the season progresses, fans can look forward to thrilling matchups and the potential for even more changes in the rankings.
