🗣️ Announcement! There will be two 8-man games this year. We feel that we are at a point in this game where we should give juniors and seniors their own platform. The Juniors game will take place on another field on campus with the Seniors game following on the traditional field.

On Saturday, our community lost a beloved member. Sgt. Aaron "Hambone" Whaley was a protector and loved by everyone who met him. He will be missed terribly! In his honor the "Hambone Award" will now be presented to the top "protector" from every game, the offensive line. 🙏❤️

The 11-man game featured incredible talent from home school and private school programs from 11 different states! Team Stars won behind a complete effort from their offense, defense and special teams. Congrats to the award winner as well, here is the Box Score.
C/O 2024 LB
@ray_shaw7
doubled his season total in INTs in one game from his LB position during Team Stars victory in the Seniors 8-man Game. We already knew he was a great tackler but he showed how versatile he is on Saturday earning Defensive MVP for his efforts.

Volunteered to play TE after coach asked if we had another TE. Always willing to help my team at any position. Official end to my HS career. On to whatever chapter God has for me next. He always has a plan.
After much prayer I have decided to continue my academic and athletic career at The Citadel! This would not be possible without God, my family, my coaches, and my teammates! Thank you to
