Marlboro County forfeited a region game against Loris Friday night, stating that there were electrical issues at McAlpine Stadium.

In September, Marlboro County School District Superintendent, Helena Tillar, spoke to the school board about player eligibility. She said at the time: “I’m here to tell you today,” Tillar said, “All of our players are eligible and have been cleared by the high school league. We have no sanctions from the high school league and I think we need to put that to rest. I did want to share that because you know how the rumor mill is. It can be damaging and that’s why we went to the high school league to take it up with them. One thing we’re going to do is we’re going to follow the rules and regulations and do the right thing. That’s the only way that we operate.”
