Both teams are looking to establish momentum early in the season after contrasting starts.

Team Overview

Beaufort enters the game with a 0-1 record after falling in their season opener, scoring just six points while allowing 17. Despite the slow start, the team boasts notable individual performances. Senior linebacker Rylan Keown leads the team with eight tackles per game, while defensive standout Chaz Brown has already tallied 1.5 sacks per game. Beaufort’s defense averages 50 tackles and 3.5 sacks per contest, statistics that will test Greenwood’s offense.

Greenwood will aim to leverage home-field advantage to assert themselves early in the season.

While Beaufort has demonstrated defensive prowess, Greenwood’s offensive performance is yet to be seen.
