Wilson Hall and Northside Christian Academy Set for Showdown

The Northside Christian Academy (Lexington, SC) varsity football team is preparing to host a pivotal matchup against Wilson Hall (Sumter, SC), with both teams looking to make a statement early in the season. Friday’s game is set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m., promising fans an intense contest between two very different starts to the 2025-26 campaign.

Season Overview

Wilson Hall enters the matchup with a perfect 1-0 record, showing strong offensive firepower in their opening game. The Panthers topped Orangeburg Prep 42-14, scoring 20 points in the first quarter alone and outpacing their opponent in every period. Ranked 4,867 nationally and 94th in South Carolina in Class 1, Wilson Hall has demonstrated both efficiency and depth in their early season performance, averaging 42 points per game while allowing only 14.

In contrast, Northside Christian Academy has struggled to find their rhythm, sitting at 0-2 on the season. The Eagles have managed just six points in two games, conceding 69 points in total. Nationally ranked 10,697 and 199th in the state in Class 7, NCA faces a challenging task against a Wilson Hall squad firing on all cylinders.

Team Comparisons

Looking at scoring trends, Wilson Hall has been dominant in the first three quarters, often establishing control before the fourth. NCA, meanwhile, has yet to register a point through the first three quarters of their games, highlighting the uphill battle they face in this matchup.

Both teams have a history of facing common opponents, though only Wilson Hall has played against Orangeburg Prep, with a convincing 42-14 win. Northside Christian Academy will encounter some of the same teams later in the season, including Camden Military, Florence Christian, and Trinity Collegiate, giving fans a preview of potential rematches.

Records at a Glance

• Wilson Hall: 1-0 overall, 1-0 non-league, 0-0 in-state, 0-0 home, 1-0 away.

• Northside Christian Academy: 0-2 overall, 0-2 non-league, 0-0 in-state, 0-1 home, 0-1 away.

Key Matchup to Watch

Wilson Hall’s explosive first-quarter scoring and strong defense will be crucial against an NCA team struggling offensively. For the Eagles, finding a spark early and containing Wilson Hall’s offense will be the key to staying competitive.

Looking Ahead

Friday night’s contest promises to test both teams’ resolve. Wilson Hall looks to extend their early-season momentum, while Northside Christian Academy seeks their first win and a turnaround in fortunes. With the season still in its infancy, a strong showing here could set the tone for the weeks to come.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Northside Christian Academy’s home field, and fans can expect a game full of intensity, determination, and a chance for the Eagles to challenge the Panthers’ dominance.
