Team of the Week

Myrtle Beach: The Seahawks turned a game critical in the Region 7-4A race into a total mismatch, scoring 55 points in the first half against Marlboro County. In the end, Myrtle Beach settled for a 62-14 win over its region foe, avenging a one-point loss last season that ended the team’s pursuit of a perfect season. In addition, the Seahawks punched a ticket to the upcoming Class 4A playoffs. On a bye this Friday night, it can earn a playoff home date — and maybe more — with a win next Thursday at Wilson.
