Suggested Video




Camden is 8-1 against Lugoff-Elgin since August of 2014, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Camden Bulldogs will square off against the Lugoff-Elgin Demons at 7:30 p.m.

Camden is leaving town to face Lugoff-Elgin after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Camden took a 21-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of White Knoll on Saturday.

Even if they lost, Camden's defense still kept up the pressure with four sacks. Leading the way was Tanner Bracey and his two. Evan Presbot was another major factor on D, making 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss).

Meanwhile, Lugoff-Elgin had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. In a tight contest that could have gone either way, they made off with a 35-34 win over Lower Richland. The victory was some much needed relief for the Demons as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Lugoff-Elgin didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. Corey Murphy picked up that interception and then proceeded to rub salt in the wound by taking it back the other way for a touchdown. Lugoff-Elgin got some further help from Preston Rhodes: he made 15 total tackles.

Everything came up roses for Camden against Lugoff-Elgin when the teams last played back in August of 2023 as the team secured a 59-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Camden since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
