Statistical Superiority

Flora’s offensive firepower was evident in all phases of the game.

Looking Ahead

A.C. Flora continues its non-league schedule with confidence, maintaining momentum as the team looks ahead to league play. Southside Christian will need to regroup and find solutions on both sides of the ball if it hopes to turn its season around.

While the scoreboard tells a lopsided story, Southside Christian’s young roster may gain valuable experience from facing a top-tier opponent like Flora. Football fans in Simpsonville can expect the team to continue fighting hard as it seeks its first victory of the season.
