As the high school football season approaches its start on August 23, excitement is building in the Upstate of South Carolina. With various teams gearing up and many questions looming, fans are eager to see how the season unfolds.
One of the biggest storylines is the transition of teams to new classifications. Defending AAA champion Daniel will now compete in Class AAAA, raising questions about whether they can maintain their impressive record of 51 wins to just 1 loss over the past four years. Similarly, the back-to-back Class A champion Christ Church has moved up to Region 2-AAA, and fans are wondering if they can keep up their winning ways.
Gaffney is also making waves as they aim for another state championship under the leadership of retiring coach Dan Jones. The team hopes to secure a second title in four years. Byrnes faces a unique challenge as they will play on the road this season due to stadium construction. This will test the team’s adaptability and determination.
Football enthusiasts are looking forward to seeing junior quarterback Banks Bouton at Greenville High, where he will need to quickly adapt to a new fast-paced offense. Meanwhile, Riverside’s Mikkel Skinner and Eastside’s Jaquavious Dodd are both noted as top recruits, and it will be interesting to see how they perform this season.
Other teams like T.L. Hanna and J.L. Mann will be working to regroup after significant senior graduations. Westside, the Class AAAA champions, also face the task of integrating a fresh group of wide receivers to support a talented quarterback.
With all these thrilling developments, the Upstate high school football scene is set for a captivating season. Fans are ready to cheer for their teams and witness the emerging talent on the field!
