SC QB Conelius Jones
Last week: Spartanburg upsets previously-undefeated Rock Hill 41-28 in Round 1 of the State Playoffs.
"We took a great season and made it miserable,'' Rock Hill coach Joe Montgomery told The Herald. "We didn't stop No. 5 (QB Cornelius Jones) all night long. I told our kids we got beat in all phases of the game tonight, and you can't win when you give up 41 points.''
Jones did most of his work on the ground, rushing for 110 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns in the pivotal victory. Jones was especially key on third downs, converting three third-and-longs with big runs.
The lone pass attempt resulted in defensive interference and set up the Vikings with first-and-goal from the five.
“We knew nobody was going to pick us to win,” Jones said. “But we stuck together as a team and everybody executed and did what they were supposed to do.”
Way to figure out a winning gameplan during the regular season, corch.
This week: Spartanburg (4-8) @ Sumter in Round 2 of the State Playoffs. The Vikings fell to Sumter in week 4.

TX RB Stephen Hopkins
Last week: Marcus beats Grapevine 48-18 in Round 1 of the State Playoffs.
Injecting a heavy dose of senior rusher Stephen Hopkins and junior rusher Rufus Mason, the Marauders wore down a game Grapevine squad in the game’s final 24 minutes to advance past the bi-district round of the postseason, 48-18.
Riding the legs of Hopkins, the Marcus speedster bolted through a gaping hole and scurried 16 yards for the touchdown just 30 seconds into the second quarter.
Speedster, you say? Hopkins ran 26 times for 167 yards and 3 touchdowns, while adding a 26-yard pass reception.

OH OL Christian Pace
Last week: Preview fluff #1:
“Ronnie has turned into a great receiver, thanks to his being a great athlete with great size, speed and hands. We have great leaders on the line like Christian Pace and Dan Schneider who everyone looks up to and does a good job keeping everybody in check.”
"Our lines on offense and defense are starting to play really well together and our passing game is starting to click, and that’s starting to move defenders out of the box," said two-way lineman Christian Pace.
"We all want the same goal, and that’s a state championship, and senior year is there. It could be your last game," Pace said.
Avon Lake falls to Toledo St. Francis DeSales 10-13.

LA S Carvin Johnson
Last week: He was all-district, which comes with stats:
senior safety Carvin Johnson, a Michigan commitment who finished with 56 tackles and 4 interceptions. Johnson was selected as a punt and kick return specialist. He averaged 17.5 yards on punt returns with one score.
Rummel beats Captain Shreve 10-3 in Round 1 of the State Playoffs. Johnson kicked some serious ass:
The state's top-seeded team in Class 5A scored 10 first-quarter points, with a key punt return by Raiders safety Carvin Johnson setting up the game's lone touchdown...
In addition to his punt return, Johnson also had two interceptions, with the second ending Captain Shreve's final threat with one minute, 16 seconds remaining.
"We just played hard and we got through it, " Johnson said. "We're know we're going to struggle at times. Our offense has struggled all year. We've just got to keeping getting it done."
Johnson's first interception ended the game's first possession and put Rummel in place for its most productive moments offensively.
Is that not enough? He also had 2 sacks.
This week: Rummel (11-0) @ Jesuit in Round 2 of the State Playoffs. Rummel beat Jesuit earlier this season.

seriously though, kid sounds really good. I'll take a kid with average speed that really really knows how to play safety any day. And Dileo is going to kick serious ass. did you see those highlights? He was friggin everywhere. His jersey was a different color than the rest of this kids on his team because he was playing so hard. I bet he's one tough SOB and will be awesome at returns.

Just a side note on Spartanburg's win over Rock Hill. Rock Hill wasn't only undefeated, but ranked in the top 25 nationally by USAToday (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/football/poll/2009-super25.htm, look to the very bottom for "dropped out"). That's a really, really shocking result.

Fairly certain you are wrong.

Hopefully Carvin Johnson can add another punt return option to the team in addition to safety.
