MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Loris stands as the lone Horry County football program remaining in the South Carolina High School League postseason following a dramatic second-round Friday night that saw Carolina Forest, Conway, and Green Sea Floyds eliminated in narrow, one-score contests.
Loris 51, Bishop England 35 (Class 3A)
In Charleston, the Loris Lions (10–2) overcame an early deficit to knock off No. 4 seed Bishop England 51–35. After trailing 7–0 at the end of the opening quarter, Loris erupted for 38 points across the second and third periods—outscoring the Battling Bishops 17–7 in the second quarter and 21–7 in the third—to seize control before closing out the 16-point road victory.
With their fourth consecutive win, the Lions advance to the third round of the Class 3A playoffs on Friday, Nov. 20, where they will face top-seeded Camden, which defeated Crestwood 34–6.
Summerville 30, Carolina Forest 23 (Class 5A)
Carolina Forest’s postseason run came to an end at home in a hard-fought 30–23 loss to Summerville. The Panthers conclude their 2026 varsity campaign with an 8–3 overall record.
Lugoff-Elgin 28, Conway 24 (Class 4A)
Fresh off a 37–21 opening-round upset of May River, No. 7 seed Conway pushed No. 2 Lugoff-Elgin to the final minutes on the road before coming up short in a 28–24 thriller.
Blackville-Hilda 42, Green Sea Floyds 37 (Class 1A Division II)
Green Sea Floyds gave top-seeded and undefeated Blackville-Hilda all it could handle on the road before falling 42–37. Entering the matchup after a 72–48 first-round shootout victory over Ridge Spring-Monetta, the Trojans carried a 19–18 lead into halftime before the Fighting Hawks rallied in the second half to pull out the win. Green Sea Floyds finishes its season at 5–7.
(Note: Fellow Horry County programs North Myrtle Beach and Socastee were eliminated in the Nov. 6 opening round, falling to Lucy Beckham 56–0 and Gray Collegiate Academy 61–27, respectively.)
