Newberry Football Looks to Extend Early Momentum Against Mid-Carolina

The Newberry High School varsity football team will host Mid-Carolina High School in a non-conference matchup that pits an undefeated team against one still seeking its first win of the season. Kickoff is set for Friday, August 29, at 7:30 p.m. at Newberry’s home field.

Season Snapshot
Newberry (25-26) enters the game with a 1-0 record after an impressive 62-14 victory in their opener. The team has demonstrated explosive scoring potential, averaging 21 points in the first quarter, 34 in the second, and 7 in the third, before closing out the game without allowing any fourth-quarter points. The Hornets’ offense has already tallied 62 points while giving up just 14.

Mid-Carolina (25-26), on the other hand, is still searching for its first win after a lopsided 49-7 loss to Swansea in their season opener. They are averaging just 7 points per game and have allowed 49, highlighting areas that Newberry will likely look to exploit.

Key Matchup
While both teams have common opponents on the schedule—Swansea and Fairfield Central—Newberry has yet to face either team this season, giving them an opportunity to continue building momentum before tougher matchups later in the season. Mid-Carolina, meanwhile, has already struggled against Swansea, which raises questions about their ability to keep pace with Newberry’s high-powered offense.

Record Breakdown

• Newberry: 1-0 overall, 1-0 away, 0-0 home

• Mid-Carolina: 0-1 overall, 0-1 away, 0-0 home

• Non-League Record: Newberry 1-0, Mid-Carolina 0-1

• In-State Play: Newberry 1-0, Mid-Carolina 0-0

With Newberry riding high after a dominant opening week and Mid-Carolina looking to rebound, Friday night’s game promises an intriguing clash of momentum and strategy. Fans can expect Newberry to leverage its potent offense, while Mid-Carolina will be searching for answers to avoid a second consecutive loss.

Outlook
Newberry enters this contest as the clear favorite, with offensive firepower and confidence on their side. Mid-Carolina will need to shore up its defense and find ways to generate points if they hope to make a statement on the road. Regardless of the outcome, the game provides an early glimpse at each team’s potential this season.
