Fort Dorchester Looks to Extend Early-Season Success Against Goose Creek
The Fort Dorchester (North Charleston, SC) varsity football team will host Goose Creek (SC) in a non-conference matchup on Friday, August 29, in what promises to be a compelling early-season contest. Both teams are coming off the first week of the 2025 season with contrasting results.
Fort Dorchester enters the game with a 1-0 record, riding high after a 17-6 victory over Beaufort. The Patriots showed balanced scoring, finding the end zone in the third and fourth quarters, while holding their opponent to just six points. With a national ranking of 1,220, Fort Dorchester has demonstrated strong early-season form and a stout defense that limits opponents’ total yards and scoring opportunities.
Goose Creek, on the other hand, is looking for its first win of the season after falling 30-8 in their opener. The offense struggled to gain traction, and the team will need to find consistency if they hope to challenge the Patriots. Goose Creek currently holds a national ranking of 3,123.
Statistical Edge
Fort Dorchester leads in several key statistical categories. Quarterback Thomas Adamsky has been impressive through the air, averaging 70 passing yards per game and leading the team in total yards with 52. Rushing and receiving numbers are also solid, with running back Kyrome Durant averaging 37 yards per game and receiver Laurez Matthews contributing 36 receiving yards per game. On defense, the Patriots’ unit has been active, producing tackles and sacks at rates above the national average.
Goose Creek will look to rebound behind standout contributors, but their stats from Week 1 highlight the challenges they face in matching Fort Dorchester’s balanced attack and defensive prowess.
Looking Ahead
Fort Dorchester aims to extend its winning streak as they continue the non-league portion of their schedule, while Goose Creek hopes to find an early-season spark to get back on track. Fans can expect a competitive game as both teams test their strengths and refine their strategies for the weeks ahead.
With both teams still early in the season, Friday’s matchup could set the tone for how each squad approaches their upcoming games, particularly against common opponents such as Summerville and Stratford later in the year.
