Crestwood and Kingstree Set for High-Stakes Showdown

This Friday, the Kingstree (SC) varsity football team will host Crestwood (Sumter, SC) in a non-conference matchup that promises fireworks. Both teams have shown promising starts to the 2025-26 season, but they come in with very different statistics and trajectories.

Season Overview
Crestwood is off to a perfect 2-0 start, boasting a dominating 83-27 point differential. Nationally ranked 2,343 and 52nd in South Carolina for Class 13, the Eagles have demonstrated balanced offensive prowess, averaging 314.5 rushing yards and 141 passing yards per game, for a total of 455.5 yards per contest.

Kingstree, on the other hand, holds a 1-1 record and has struggled to generate offense, averaging just 72.5 total yards per game. The Tigers have been competitive but inconsistent, scoring 36 points while allowing 44. Nationally, Kingstree ranks 8,596, and 164th in South Carolina for Class 22.

Key Players
Crestwood’s offense is spearheaded by running back Calvin Wofford, who averages an impressive 176.5 rushing yards per game, while quarterback Marek Yates adds 141 passing yards per contest. Wide receiver Jayden Martin contributes 66 receiving yards per game, keeping defenses on their heels.

Kingstree leans heavily on standout Tyleek Dukes, who leads the team with 77 rushing yards and 36 receiving yards per game. Quarterback Randy McFadden adds 68 passing yards per game, but the Tigers will need a collective effort to match Crestwood’s explosive offense.

Statistical Battle
The numbers heavily favor Crestwood. On average, the Eagles gain over six times more yards per game than Kingstree (455.5 vs. 72.5). Crestwood also boasts an average of 41.5 points per game, compared to Kingstree’s 18.0. However, football is never played on paper alone, and Kingstree will look to tighten its defense and capitalize on home-field advantage.

Common Opponents and Trends
Both teams have faced Manning earlier in the season. Crestwood defeated Manning 48-14, while Kingstree’s matchup is still pending. Crestwood has also been dominant both at home and away, whereas Kingstree’s wins and losses have been split between home and road contests.

Looking Ahead
Crestwood enters this game as the favorite, but Kingstree has shown resilience and could leverage home energy to create an upset. The game promises to highlight contrasting styles: Crestwood’s high-powered, balanced attack against Kingstree’s determined and opportunistic squad.
