Berkeley vs. Summerville: Clash of Unbeatens in Non-Conference Showdown

Summerville, SC – High school football fans are in for a treat this Friday night as the Summerville Green Wave (1-1) host the unbeaten Berkeley Stags (2-0) in a non-conference showdown at Summerville High School. Both programs enter with momentum, but the matchup highlights two very different styles of play.

Rankings & Records

  • Berkeley Stags (2-0):

    • National: #1,774 | South Carolina: #36 | Class: #24

    • Scored 87 points while allowing 66 this season.

    • Perfect start with road and home wins, including a 35–21 victory over Ashley Ridge.

  • Summerville Green Wave (1-1):

    • National: #368 | South Carolina: #5 | Class: #4

    • Scored 56 points while allowing 52.

    • Split first two games, highlighted by a 35–30 win over Stratford.

Offensive Matchup

Berkeley’s strength lies in its ground game, averaging 341.5 rushing yards per contest, led by RB Lj Washington (#20, 103.0 YPG). Quarterback Henry Rivers (#3) adds a steady passing attack, though the Stags average just 62.0 passing yards per game.

Summerville, meanwhile, thrives through the air. QB Max Stafford (#12) leads the charge with 237.0 passing yards per game, connecting often with WR Jaiden Kelly-Murray (#4, 77.0 YPG). The Green Wave also bring balance with RB Jayven Williams (#9), who is averaging 162.0 rushing yards per game, nearly double Berkeley’s top rusher.

Statistically, Summerville generates far more offense overall – 528.0 total yards per game compared to Berkeley’s 403.5 – making them the more explosive team.

Defensive Battle

If Berkeley wins with power football, Summerville’s edge may be on defense. The Green Wave average an eye-popping 81 tackles per game, anchored by LB Eli Pressley (#10, 11.0 tackles per game) and a strong pass rush that produces 4.0 sacks per contest.

Berkeley’s defense, by comparison, records 39 tackles per game and 2.5 sacks, relying heavily on Landon Jackson (#5) for quarterback pressure.

Scoring Trends

  • Berkeley: A fast-starting team, averaging 11 points in the 1st quarter and 15 in the 2nd, piling up 43.5 points per game.

  • Summerville: Starts slower but steadier, averaging 7 points in three straight quarters, for 28 points per game.

  • Key Factor: If Summerville can weather Berkeley’s early surge, their balanced attack could take control late.

Common Opponents

Both teams have faced Ashley Ridge and come out on top. Berkeley won 35–21 on August 25, while Summerville will see them later in the season. Both also share Stratford as a matchup, with Summerville already winning 35–30.
