The Eagles hammered their way to the 1A Division II State Championship. Trailing
6-0 entering the 4th quarter, the Scott's Branch offense ran Hammer left
for the rest of the game to win 14-6. The win over Williston-Elko was a surprise
to many in the state, but not for the Scott's Branch faithful.
Your Scott's Branch Eagles will be hosting the 1A Division II Lower State
title game this Friday when Blackville-Hilda comes to town. Last week the Eagles
overcame an 18-6, 4th quarter deficit against Timmonsville only to pull out a
nearly improbable 30-24 victory in overtime.
With Friday night's 44-6 pasting of C.E. Murray your Eagles are 1A-Region VII
Champions!!! Now all that awaits are the playoffs. The Eagles are the #1 seed
in the Lower State Bracket and face #8 seed C.E. Murray next weekend.
Quinton Singleton was named Offensive Player of the Week by the
The Item as he carried the
ball 21 times for 194 yards and three touchdowns, as the Scott's Branch offense
churned out 457 yards of offense in a 36-29 victory over McBee. Next week the
Eagles host the AA Timberland Wolves in another great early season test. The game
has been moved to Thursday night due to inclement weather forecasted for Friday
night.

Scott's Branch dominated this past Thursday at the Sertoma Classic as they easily
defeated Academic Magnet, 16-0. The much larger Eagles offense simply just lined
up and ran at will against a bewildered Raptors defense. Quinten Singleton only
carried the ball three times, but managed to pick up 29 yards and score two
touchdowns. Kadeem Baxter scored on two 2-point conversion runs.
The Eagles defense proved even more impressive as they sacked Raptors quarterback
William Rentz an astounding six times.
The impressive looking Eagles appear ready for next week's season opener when
they visit McBee next Friday at 7:30PM.
With a mix of Hammer and Wedge, the Eagles put on an offensive clinic at the
Willie Jeffries Classic this past Saturday. Curtis Davis scored on a 56-yard
run on the Eagles second play from scrimmage. Davis then answered the electrifying
run by rushing for the 2-point conversion. The Scott's Branch offense struck
paydirt again later in the quarter as Kadeem Baxter punched it in from 5 yards
out. His rush for the conversion would give the Eagles a 16-6 lead. Baxter
would score again in the second and final quarter as he weaved his way into the
endzone on a 14-yard run. Quinten Singleton's conversion rush would give the
Eagles a 24-6 lead. A late score by the opposition did little to darken the
mood as Scott's Branch prevailed 24-14.
