Prep football schedule: Who’s playing this week in the Rock Hill region
Another week of region football this week as teams look to establish positions for a playoff berth.
Some schools are well on their way to becoming region champions, while other programs are just looking for that single region win that could put them in the playoffs.
All games are scheduled to kickoff Friday at 7:30 p.m unless specified otherwise.
Northwestern (6-1) at York (6-1)
This is a huge game between two undefeated teams in Region 3-4A. The winner of this game would hold the tiebreaker, while the loser would need a lot to fall their way for a chance to take the region. Northwestern is coming off a 45-14 win over Indian Land, while York is coming off a 39-20 victory over Catawba Ridge.
