Football Preview: Hilton Head Island Seahawks vs. Aiken Fighting Green Hornets

Suggested Video

The Hilton Head Island Seahawks will square off against the Aiken Fighting Green Hornets at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

Hilton Head Island's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against James Island on Friday. They lost 24-0 to the Trojans. Having soared to a lofty 65 points in the game before, the Seahawks' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.

Meanwhile, Aiken couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They came up short against Aynor last Friday, falling 37-13. The Fighting Green Hornets just can't catch a break and have now endured 11 losses in a row dating back to last season.

Despite the defeat, Aiken saw an underclassman step up: Jamary Bonaparte rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. Bonaparte got the majority of those yards when he took off on a run and that went for an incredible74 yards.

Things could have been worse for Hilton Head Island, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 25-8 loss to Aiken in their previous meeting back in November of 2021.
