North Myrtle Beach (0-5) at Socastee (1-4)

When | 7:30 p.m. today

The game | Socastee has won three in a row in the series. While the Chiefs have struggled all season, there have been signs of progress. "They have been getting better," Socastee coach Tim Renfrow said of the Chiefs. "I watched them against Carolina Forest last week, and they were 7-7 in the fourth quarter." Renfrow also noted the importance of the game in the region standings. North Myrtle Beach was able to get the ball in the hands of senior Temarrick Hemingway, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound receiver/defensive end. Hemingway had six catches for 65 yards and a score last week. Socastee had a bye last week.

Lambert should return next week. The good news is that senior linebacker/defensive end Phil Doyle, who has been out since the opening day of contact drills with a neck injury, will return to action for the first time tonight, and senior defensive tackle/offensive lineman Walt McCrackin will return following eye surgery after missing a game. Aynor coach Jody Jenerett knows his team faces a huge task tonight. "[Dillon] is giving up four points a game. We just want to string some first downs together ... see if the wing (offense) can work against Dillon," Jenerette said.
