West-Oak Prepares to Face High-Flying Seneca in Key Non-Conference Clash

As the high school football season heats up, the West-Oak Wildcats (Westminster, SC) are set to host the Seneca Raiders in a much-anticipated non-conference matchup. Both teams enter the contest undefeated at 2-0, but the numbers tell very different stories about the road ahead for each squad.

Team Rankings and Records
Seneca, ranked 1,948th nationally and 40th in South Carolina’s Class 10, boasts an explosive offense that has racked up 105 points through two games while allowing just 42. In contrast, West-Oak sits 10,234th nationally and 186th in the state’s Class 28, having scored 30 points and yet to allow a single point. While both teams are undefeated, the Raiders’ scoring and yardage totals indicate a high-powered attack that will challenge West-Oak’s defensive discipline.

Scoring Trends
Seneca has averaged an eye-popping 52.5 points per game, consistently finding the end zone in every quarter (21 in Q1, 10.5 in Q2, 14 in Q3, and 7 in Q4). West-Oak’s scoring has been more modest, averaging 15 points per game, but their defense has been impenetrable, holding opponents scoreless in two games.

Statistical Comparison
The Raiders dominate across nearly every offensive category:

• Rushing: 259.5 yards per game

• Passing: 295 yards per game

• Receiving: 295.5 yards per game

• Total offense: 554.5 yards per game

West-Oak’s offense hasn’t posted significant stats yet, but their defensive unit has been exceptional in limiting opponents. Seneca’s top performers include quarterback Gavin Thoma, who averages 285.5 passing yards and 300.5 total yards per game, running back Amari Verner with 173 rushing yards per game, and wide receiver Elias McGee with 88 receiving yards per contest. Linebacker Jermaine Miller anchors the defense with 9 tackles and 1.3 sacks per game.

Key Matchups
The game will hinge on whether West-Oak’s defense can contain Seneca’s multi-dimensional attack. West-Oak’s own offensive efficiency will also be critical; they will need to sustain drives and capitalize on scoring opportunities to keep pace with the Raiders’ firepower.

Looking Ahead
With both teams undefeated, this game has major implications for momentum early in the season. Seneca will look to assert its offensive dominance, while West-Oak hopes to prove its defense can hold even the most prolific offenses in check. Fans can expect an exciting showdown of contrasting styles—Seneca’s high-flying offense versus West-Oak’s stingy defense.
