South Aiken football opens up region play with commanding victory over Fox Creek
AIKEN - Fox Creek had no answers for South Aiken’s defense in the two teams’ region opener on Oct. 1.
South Aiken's football team secured a commanding 35-0 victory over Fox Creek in their region opener on October 1st. Despite a sluggish start, the T-Breds found their rhythm in the final quarter, scoring three times to leave Fox Creek struggling to keep up. Head coach Chris Hamilton attributed the early struggles to the team coming off a bye week and feeling rusty.
The T-Breds capitalized on opportunities, including recovering a fumbled punt for a touchdown and scoring a six-yard run from running back Drelyn Brown in the second quarter to take a 14-0 halftime lead. However, Fox Creek's defense held strong, forcing a scoreless third quarter. The fourth quarter saw South Aiken pick up steam, scoring three times to transition the game from a two-score lead to a five-point margin.
Junior wide receiver Jack Ziegler and senior Kamonte Coates added to the T-Breds' touchdown tally, sealing the victory. The loss left Fox Creek on a 1-5 season, while South Aiken improved to 5-1, earning a berth to face Irmo in their next game on October 8th.
