RECORDS: May River 0-4; Beaufort 3-1.
LAST WEEK: May River lost to Hilton Head 53-0; Beaufort defeated Whale Branch 55-13.

EXTRA POINTS: Despite the final score, May River showed distinct improvement in last week's loss. The Sharks twice drove deep into Hilton Head territory, though they came up empty both times by going for the end zone rather than kicking a field goal. ... Before last week, the Sharks were averaging just 102.6 yards per game. ... Beaufort got its running game cranked up again after being stymied two weeks ago by Bluffton. Wyatt Sherpensky ran for two TDs, in addition to taking a kickoff back 90 yards for another score.
