Coach of the Week

Congratulations to last week's winner: Kevin Jones of Blackville-Hilda.


Here are this week's nominations:

Nick Pelham, White Knoll

It’s not every day that Dutch Fork gets taken down in a region game. The undefeated Timberwolves performed that feat, downing the 5-A defending state champion Silver Foxes 17-14. It was Dutch Fork’s first region loss since 2015.

Mickey Wilson, Myrtle Beach

The Seahawks got steamrolled 43-0 by Camden in their first game. They haven’t lost since then. Their big 24-21 region win over Hartsville lifted the Seahawks to 6-1. That surpasses last season’s win total of five and it appears Myrtle Beach is back among the title contenders.

Brian Rimpf, Camden

The Bulldogs beat Darlington 41-6 for their third win in a row. It was also the program's school-record 20th consecutive region win.

Wayne Farmer, Calhoun County

The Saints turned back Denmark-Olar 28-14 to improve to 6-1 on the season. Denmark-Olar had scored 64 points the previous week.

Jeff Tate, Ashley Ridge

Ashley Ridge beat West Ashley 31-20 in a key region game. The Wildcats improved to 6-1 overall and 1-1 in the region.

Jason Tone, T.L. Hanna

The Yellow Jackets ran past J.L. Mann 56-35 in a battle of Upstate powers. T.L. Hanna is now 7-1 overall and 2-0 in region play.

Page Wofford, Northwestern

Northwestern has won six in a row after opening the season with a 42-35 loss to Providence Day. The Vikings rolled past Indian Land 45-14 on Friday.

Adam Kinloch, Colleton County

The Cougars beat Hilton Head Island 26-21 to pick up their first region win since the 2020 season.

Eddie Ford, Woodland

Woodland is rolling again in 2023. The Wolverines whipped Ridgeland-Hardeeville 41-12 to move to 6-0 on the season.

Jon Wheeler, Hammond

The Skyhawks faced a challenge in a revitalized Cardinal Newman squad. But Hammond is still the measuring stick in SCISA football. The six-time defending state champions turned back the previously undefeated Cardinals 35-20 behind a powerful running attack.
