Portsmouth and Rock Hill played a high-scoring game on Friday evening, combining for 78 points and 794 yards of total offense. Portsmouth's Cam Williams, affectionately known as Superman, led the team with 20 of his 26 passes completed for 296 yards and two touchdowns, along with rushing for 56 yards and two more scores. He also picked off a pass in the defensive secondary.
Williams' supporting cast included sophomore wide receiver Mekhi Berry, who caught five of Williams' passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns, and the Poxes brothers who each scored a rushing touchdown. The Portsmouth defense held strong, allowing just 14 points in the second half. For first-year head coach Brandon Sammons, the difference-maker was the third quarter, where Portsmouth outscored Rock Hill 16-0.
The Redmen, however, had a tougher time, with senior linebacker and running back Aaron Workman suffering an injury early in the game. Workman, the team's best defensive player, was placed on an ambulance and taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Despite the loss, Rock Hill's head coach Trey Wilds focused on his senior linebacker's well-being.
