The Crescent Tigers will venture away from home to take on the Chesnee Eagles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Crescent is probably headed into the contest with a chip on their shoulder considering Belton-Honea Path just ended the team's four-game winning streak on Friday. They had to suffer through a 55-28 loss at the hands of the Bears. While losing is never fun, the Tigers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' South Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 101st, while the Bears are ranked 19th).
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Mason Evans, who threw for 204 yards and two TDs, and also rushed for 79 yards. Kevin Hatten was another key rusher, rushing for 100 yards and a pair of scores on only 14 carries.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 35-6, which was the final score in Chesnee's tilt against Liberty on Friday. The matchup marked the Eagles' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Crescent's loss was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 2-1 and their overall record down to 5-3. As for Chesnee, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-4.
Crescent was able to grind out a solid win over Chesnee in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, winning 18-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
