Wade Hampton will challenge Ridgeland/Hardeeville on the road at 7:30 PM on Friday. Wade Hampton are expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.

Wade Hampton took an ego-bruising defeat against Bamberg-Ehrhardt three weeks ago, but they kept their chin up and bounced back last Friday. Wade Hampton put a hurting on Lake Marion to the tune of 70-26. Followers of Wade Hampton probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected five blowout victories.

Meanwhile, it was all tied up at halftime, but Ridgeland/Hardeeville weren't quite Battery Creek's equal in the second half when they met last Friday. Ridgeland/Hardeeville had victory within their grasp but couldn't quite capture it as the squad lost 12-13 to Battery Creek. Ridgeland/Hardeeville's loss continues a disappointing trend for the squad, making it five losses in a row.

Wade Hampton's win lifted them to 6-1 while Ridgeland/Hardeeville's loss dropped them down to 2-5. Wade Hampton's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a Ridgeland/Hardeeville defensive front that amassed four sacks against Battery Creek, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
