Carolina Forest had a bye in week 0. The other 5 teams in 5A-6 played and most underperformed against smaller or weak opponents. West Florence lost a ton of talent, their 23-0 win over Crestwood doesn't really prove they've reloaded, they are still a "question mark". It looks like Myrtle Beach is the only challenge on CF's schedule, I think it is likely they will finish 9-1 overall, 5-0 in region 5A-6. Their weak schedule will leave them unprepared for 5A post-season play, they will lose at home in either the first or 2nd round.
By far, they have the largest enrollment of any school in 5A-6, it's about time they make a run for the region title. Who knows, they may have a good enough year that one or more of their fans crawl out of their pampered, over-privileged Horry hole and start posting here.
Hey Panthers!!! Come out and play!!! Please, tell us why CF needs to be so much bigger than neighboring Conway, Socastee, Myrtle Beach and St. James. Are you guys overcompensating for some..... short coming?
