Carvers Bay rolls to a dominant region victory
Carvers Bay improved to 2-0 in Region 7-2A with an easy 49-6 victory over an overmatched Kingstree team that fell to 0-5.
The Bears (5-1) held a 33-0 lead in the first half despite having just 83 yards of total offense, largely because of Kingstree turnovers and special teams mistakes.
The Jaguars’ first three punt attempts led to Carvers Bay’s first three touchdowns. Two were bad snaps that gave the Bears possession on the Kingstree 10- and 3-yard lines, and the third punt was for 5 yards and resulted in a possession beginning at the Kingstree 30.
The Bears began another first half possession on the Kingstree 23 following a failed fourth down attempt that led to a touchdown and Jaquan Reed returned an interception 10 yards for another score.
The Bears drove 61 yards in three plays to open the second half with a 19-yard Stephon Greene touchdown reception, and another high snap on a punt led to a safety 2:32 into the second half.
Kingstree had just 13 yards of offense when Carvers Bay began substituting midway through the third quarter, and there was a running clock in the fourth quarter.
Turning point
The game was Carvers Bay’s from the start, beginning with a high snap on a punt on Kingstree’s first possession that gave the Bears possession on the Jaguars’ 10. Two Kingstree penalties moved the ball inside the 3, and Quevon Dickerson scored on a run.

They said it
“I remember when we couldn’t punt. If you’ve been in this business long enough you’ve seen it all. Like they’re saying now, ‘Oh gosh, Carvers Bay kicks the ball. They don’t go for two.’ ” - Carvers Bay head coach Nate Thompson
“It was homecoming and everybody got a chance to play. The good thing about it is we can get some kids in there that don’t normally play. They got a chance to play and got a chance to make some mistakes.” - Thompson
“I think we had pretty much a complete game tonight – running the ball, special teams, defense, offense.” - Thompson
