This Friday, South Pointe High School will host a highly anticipated non-conference matchup as the South Pointe Stallions (0-1) face off against the Rock Hill Red Devils (1-0). Both South Carolina teams will look to gain early-season momentum in what promises to be a competitive battle.

Team Records & Rankings
Rock Hill enters the contest undefeated at 1-0, riding a strong performance in their opening game where they defeated an opponent 31-18. Nationally, the Red Devils are ranked 1,596, with a state ranking of 31 and a class ranking of 20. South Pointe, meanwhile, is seeking its first win of the season after a narrow 14-10 loss in its opener. The Stallions hold impressive national and state rankings—437 nationally, 7 in South Carolina, and 2 in class rankings—showing their potential despite the early setback.

Scoring Trends
Rock Hill has demonstrated offensive balance, averaging 31 points per game in their opener. Quarterback Jonah Young led the charge, throwing for 227 yards and contributing significantly to the Red Devils’ total of 437 yards. The Stallions, in contrast, scored 10 points in their first game, relying heavily on quarterback J’zavien Currence, who accounted for 218 total yards.

Offensive & Defensive Stats
Rock Hill has shown dominance in total offense, averaging 437 yards per game (210 rushing, 227 passing), compared to South Pointe’s 260 yards (99 rushing, 161 passing). Defensively, the Red Devils have been stout, recording 76 tackles per game and 4 sacks, while the Stallions have 70 tackles and 2 sacks. Key contributors for Rock Hill include running back Marvin Randolph (183 rushing yards per game) and receiver Kamron Wilson (106 receiving yards per game). South Pointe relies heavily on Currence for both passing and rushing yards, with Kadin Vassel leading in receiving yards.

Matchup Insight
While South Pointe boasts a higher national and state ranking, Rock Hill enters the game with momentum and a confident offense. The matchup will likely come down to South Pointe’s ability to slow down Rock Hill’s dynamic attack and whether the Stallions’ offense can generate more than 10 points against the Red Devils’ defense.

Looking Ahead
Both teams will face challenging schedules in the coming weeks, with Rock Hill playing Lancaster and Northwestern, and South Pointe also set to meet Lancaster and Northwestern in non-league action. This Friday’s game will set the tone for the early season and could have implications for league positioning later in the year.

Prediction: A closely contested game, but Rock Hill’s strong offensive output could give them the edge unless South Pointe can find a rhythm on both sides of the ball.
