The Ballantyne Ridge Wolves will square off against the South Pointe Stallions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
After dropping their season opener at home, South Pointe is headed out to face a Wolves squad ready to give their home crowd a win. Ballantyne Ridge was outmatched by Fort Mill at home and fell 56-0. While losing is never fun, the Wolves can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 388th in North Carolina, while the Yellow Jackets are ranked 132nd in South Carolina).
Meanwhile, South Pointe humbled Rock Hill with a 49-3 victory.
Mason Pickett-Hicks was a one-man wrecking crew for South Pointe as he picked up 39 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 133 yards while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. Another player making a difference was Jordan Collins, who picked up 80 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to South Pointe's defense and their seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Aakil Brown and Tamareon Williams who racked up five sacks between them. Brown didn't just play on offense: he also picked up three sacks, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss). South Pointe got some further help from Brysen Ginn: he picked up a sack, made 19 total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, South Pointe was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 471 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since was before the start of last season.
