Week 1 of the high school football season delivered intense matchups alongside widespread weather disruptions across the region. Host Cole Bryson and Alex Guest broadcasted live from the Ingles Markets in Powdersville to break down the action. In marquee games, Dorman secured a hard-fought 40-30 victory over Hillcrest, while Gaffney claimed its tenth consecutive win over rival Spartanburg in a 24-20 thriller powered by sophomore quarterback Corey Taylor and a stout second-half defense. Chapman also notched an impressive 26-6 win over Eastside, and Greer earned a 45-31 victory against Woodmont. However, severe lightning and rain delayed multiple games, leading to controversial "no contest" rulings for high-profile matchups, including Burns vs. Independence and Boiling Springs vs. Southside Christian, after teams opted against resuming or rescheduling.
