Team Information

Stadium name: Hilton Head Island Community Stadium

Region: Region 8-AAA

Coach (years at school): Tim Singleton (seventh year)

Coach’s overall record (record at school): 31-36

2008 record: 8-3 overall, 5-0 in Region 8-AAA (region champions), lost 28-27 to South Aiken in first round of Class 3-A playoffs

Top returning starters: RB Lawrence Jenkins, 557 rushing yards, six TDs; WR Clifford Morrow, 21 rec., 589 yards, eight TDs; WR Victor Frazier, 15 rec., 160 yards, TD; RG/LB Jack Duane, 82 tackles (19 for loss), team-high eight sacks; C Forest Bryant; OLB Ray Harrington, 76 tackles (16 for loss), four sacks; OLB Kenny Robinson, 93 tackles.

Coach’s prognosis for 2009: “It’s one of those things where we’re going to get better with reps,” Singleton said. “You get better with experience. We’re going to take our lumps early, but I think at the end of the day we’ll be standing tall and standing strong.”

Three burning questions

1. What will coach Singleton do to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers? The Seahawks won’t have much experience at the quarterback position, if any at all, this season. But they still have talent at the skill positions. Clifford Morrow, who led the team in receiving a year ago, is always one of the fastest players on the field. And running back Lawrence Jenkins saw plenty of time last season as Marcus Green’s backup. Both will have to play key roles in the offense.

2. How will the Seahawks handle the pressure of being defending Region 8-AAA champions? For the first time since Singleton took over the program, Hilton Head High enters the season as the defending league champions. With that comes a lot of pressure to repeat. The Seahawks will certainly have a target on their backs after last year’s undefeated region season. How they will respond to each team’s best shot will determine their playoff fate.

3. Will conditioning play more of a factor this year? Hilton Head High, as the same with any football team, has always placed an emphasis on being in top shape for the season. But this year’s conditioning will play more of a vital role, as several Seahawks will be asked to play both defense and offense. Those players will have to have endurance if they want to last all season.
