2025 Dark Horses

[Greerfan1]

I’d at least include Daniel on dark horses. New coach, but he’ll of a lot of talent left over from Fruster the Rooster in skill positions

D. Wistar wouldn’t be considered a dark horse neither would a team like Hartsville… teams like those are always primed for a deep run in the playoffs. I expect those teams to make it to the 3rd round almost every season. I am going to give my 2 cents on my dark horses soon.

Fear The Fox…

My dark horse team for each classification, not saying they will win it all or even make the title game - I'm firm in my predictions on the champions for each classification, but I believe the teams below will make deeper than expected runs in the playoffs.
1A- Lamar....I know, I know nothing earth shattering there, but anyone besides Abbeville is a dark horse in 1A.
2A- Newberry- They play a tough schedule and have given good teams- even much larger schools a tough go of it.
3A- Swansea- Nothing too promising from last season, just a gut feeling. The Tigers periodically shock some folks, and I think 2025 is the year.
4A- Greer- Grrrrrrrrrr return to glory? Well, maybe no hardware this season but better for sure. Not seeing a win over the Rebels this season but a good run in the post-season.
5A2- Catawba Ridge- Had a bunch of Juniors on last year's team and that returning senior leadership should equal a good team.
5A1- Lexington- LHS showed glimpses of a good team last season, with a strong start at 5-2 with wins over good teams from Gilbert, North Augusta, and Chapin...the wheels came off after the DF game, but I think they will be better and have a good post-season as well.

My two cents. Let me hear your thoughts.

Fear The Fox...

I still think we are a year away from being really competitive, we've got some young talent, I just hope everyone stays.

If we beat the Rebels again I don't think my heart could stand it! back to back wins is something I've only dreamed of

The Grrrrrrrrrrrrr faithful should keep the faith...they will surprise people this season. The team I'm curious to see is Westside. Sunshine is gone so we will have to see what they can do without him. I'm sure they will be a solid team but maybe not quite the same.

I hope you're right, from what I've seen or been told this just might not be a year where we make a deep run, I think we will be a more complete team, defense should be really good, but the offense will struggle.

As for Westside, they might have a down year but Woods younger brother is a freshman this year ( also a QB ) and boy can he sling it, might be better than his brother.
