West Columbia (SC) The dress rehearsals for the 2022 football season are this week with the jamboress around town and today, I take a look at the players to watch in these match ups. While everyone will tell you these games mean nothing, you can’t tell that to these players and it shows by the way they stand out.
RICHLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE SPORTSARAMA
MEMORIAL STADIUM
SATURDAY AUGUST 13TH
6:30 WHITMIRE AT COLUMBIA
Whitmire – QB Blake Stribble wlll be one to watch for the Wolverines, along with junior RB Kesean Wilson (5’7,150).
Columbia – Randall McDaniel (5’8,179) was a 1000 yards rusher in 2021. Keep an eye on him to carry the mail for the Caps.
7:10 LOWER RICHLAND AT DREHER
Lower Richland – WR Nate Branch (5’10,170) is one of the top WRs in the Midlands and an SCVarsity Top 10 player in the Midlands. He and fellow WR Mekhi Campfield (6’4,200) will be part of the aerial attack.
Dreher – A lot of new faces on the Dreher team this year and one of the players I expect to develop into one of the best in the Midlands is RB/LB Willie Smith (6’0,195) and keep an eye on speedster Caleb Timmons (5’8,155).
7:50 AC FLORA AT KEENAN
AC Flora – The Falcons are strong up front and if you want to see a dominating player, watch tackle Kendarious Kinard (6’4,305). If you want to see a future star, watch for Aiden Mosley (5’11,185) at RB along with senior Markel Townsend (5’8,175).
Keenan – Quarterback Hernandez O’Neal (5’11,200) is an exciting player to watch as a dangerous dual threat..
8:30 CA JOHNSON AT EAU CLAIRE
CA Johnson – LB/WR Terrell Hopkins (6’3,190) is one of the biggest sleeper prospects in the Midlands. This guy is a stud linebacker.
Eau Claire – Another sleeper prospect, DB Christian Anderson (6’2,205) has Division I written all over him.
