5. Mauldin (7-1) - The Mavs bounced back from a tough region loss with a commanding surge in the second half against Spartanburg scoring 33 unanswered points.
6. Boiling Springs (7-1) - The Bulldogs turned the ball over 6 times against Dorman, and 4 of those were uncharacteristic interceptions from star QB Dylan Thompson. Boiling Springs will have a tough time bouncing back when the team faces Mauldin in Week 9.
7. Abbeville (7-1) - Rolled over Pendleton from start to finish, with the offense scoring on the 3 of its first 4 possessions and sealing the game with a defensive TD. Look for a playoff rematch against Woodruff.
8. Greenville (6-2) - The Red Raiders have won 6 straight, and with the return of Patrick Langley and the resurgence of Raymond Suber, Greenville might end up surprising the 3A race for the state title.
