SCHSL Week 6: More Than 100 South Carolina High School Football Matchups Set for Friday

High school football across South Carolina hits Week 6 of the SCHSL season on Friday, Sept. 25, with a slate of more than 100 games spanning every corner of the state — from the Upstate to the Lowcountry and the Grand Strand.

The Week 6 docket features a number of marquee region clashes. Notable matchups include Gaffney traveling to Byrnes, Northwestern visiting South Pointe, Dorman heading to Sumter, and Gray Collegiate taking on Dutch Fork. Elsewhere, Lexington faces Blythewood, Chapin squares off with Gilbert, and West Ashley meets Summerville in a pair of Lexington- and Charleston-area rivalries.

The full Friday schedule also includes matchups such as Riverside hosting Broome, Easley visiting Eastside, Wren at Lugoff-Elgin, Greenwood at Belton-Honea Path, and Myrtle Beach welcoming South Florence. Private and independent schools round out the list, with games like Cardinal Newman at Pinewood Prep, Ben Lippen at Heathwood Hall Episcopal, and Hammond at Northwood Academy.

Selected games will be available to stream live through the NFHS Network, which carries high school sports broadcasts nationwide.

Business angle

High school football serves as a meaningful content pillar for sports media and streaming companies, with the NFHS Network among the platforms that license broadcasting rights to thousands of member schools. It also feeds demand for team apparel and footwear across major brands. Among companies tied to the broader sports apparel supply chain, V.F. Corporation — whose Outdoor and Active segments include branded outdoor apparel and footwear — traded at $12.93 on the day, down 0.54% from its previous close of $13.00, giving the company a market capitalization of roughly $5.18 billion.
