Myrtle Beach remains No. 4 in latest media poll

The latest South Carolina Prep Media Football Poll has left Myrtle Beach at No. 4 in Class AAA for the third consecutive week.

The Seahawks moved to 2-1 on the season with a 34-32 win over Socastee last week. The narrow victory was enough to keep coach Mickey Wilson’s team in the top five in the division.

Loris, despite a sizable victory over Green Sea Floyds, dropped lower down the ladder in the “receiving votes” category in Class AA. The Lions are now essentially No. 16 in Class AA.

Conway, which had also been receiving votes in Class AAAA, is not appearing there after a 57-26 loss to Hartsville on Friday. The Tigers head to Class AAA No. 9 Marlboro County this week.
