S.C. Prep Writer's Football Poll - Sept. 29

Photo by Joe L. Hughes II

Dorman running back Raymond Smith seeks daylight earlier this season against Greenwood. The Cavaliers kept their stranglehold atop Class 4A this week, voters tabbing them as the classification's no. 1 team.

Dorman continues its reign atop Class 4A, being voted by voters as the no. 1 team in the classification for a sixth straight week. Northwestern and Goose Creek, both undefeated, both fall in line just behind the Cavaliers, remaining nos. 2 and 3 in the poll, respectively.
As was the case last week, Myrtle Beach and South Pointe's position at the top of Class 3A flip-flopped; this time in the Seahawks' favor, regaining the favor of voters following their 29-19 win over Conway. Undefeated Wade Hampton (Greenville) enters the poll this week at no. 9, just above Marlboro County, which fell three spots to no. 10 after consecutive losses to Conway and Dillon.
Speaking of the Wildcats, they were able to retain their top ranking in Class 2A, holding off a Central team coming off of a 54-28 win over county rival Chesterfield. Palmetto, following a 21-14 victory over Ware Shoals, was left off this week's poll, replaced by Woodland, which impressed voters with a 26-17 win over Class 3A program Cane Bay.
Williston-Elko claims the top spot in Class A this week, supplanting last week's no.1 Lamar. The most notable omission from this week's poll is 3-time defending Class A champion Chesterfield, which is on a three game losing skid.
