Chapin, South Carolina
The Chapin Eagles are set to face the River Bluff Gators in a crucial high school football game on Friday at 7:30 p.m. This matchup is vital for both teams as they attempt to overcome their recent losing streaks.
The Gators are coming off a disappointing week, suffering a 56-14 defeat to the Irmo Yellow Jackets. River Bluff’s recent loss brings their overall record to 3-4 for the season. Meanwhile, the Eagles are yet to secure a win this year, with their latest game resulting in a 29-7 loss to the Lexington Wildcats. Chapin now finds itself with a record of 0-7, marking an eighth consecutive loss.
Despite the struggles, J.R. Kinard demonstrated remarkable skill during their last game, achieving 97 rushing yards on only ten carries. Additionally, Anderson Stutts contributed significantly with 23 receiving yards and a touchdown for Chapin. This rematch against River Bluff poses its own challenges, particularly since the Gators previously triumphed over the Eagles in their last encounter, winning decisively 30-6 in October 2024.
One notable element that could play a role in this game is the lack of home-field advantage for the Gators this time around, which may shift the dynamics of the competition. Currently, River Bluff is ranked 44th in the MaxPreps South Carolina football rankings, while Irmo currently holds the second position.
Chapin coach Marco Chavez has expressed his pride in the team’s performance, despite the continued challenges they face. The Eagles’ perseverance and determination to turn things around are evident as they prepare for this high-stakes encounter.
