Game preview: Hannah-Pamplico vs Military Magnet Academy
As the high school football season heats up, fans are keeping a close eye on two teams in South Carolina’s SC 2A class—Military Magnet Academy and Hannah-Pamplico. Let’s break down their current performances, records, and key statistics for the 2024-25 season.
Military Magnet Academy (2-6 Overall, 2-4 Region)
Military Magnet Academy has had a challenging season thus far. With a 2-6 overall record and a 2-4 region record, the team is struggling to maintain consistency. The Academy has had a tough time in the league, with only one win at home (1-2) and one on the road (1-4). Their overall win percentage sits at .250, while their region win percentage is slightly better at .333.
Scoring has been an issue for the team, with the Military Magnet Academy averaging just 17.5 points per game. Breaking down their scoring by quarter, they have shown limited production in the first and third quarters, averaging only 0 points and 0.7 points, respectively. They do manage a bit of a spark in the second and fourth quarters with 2.7 points per quarter, but it’s not enough to keep up with their opponents.
Despite these challenges, Military Magnet has demonstrated resilience in their non-league matchups, boasting a 2-1 record in those games. Still, their inability to secure victories in region play may hurt their chances of postseason contention.
Hannah-Pamplico (7-2 Overall, 5-1 Region)
On the other side, Hannah-Pamplico has been in strong form this season. With a 7-2 overall record and a 5-1 region record, the team is having a successful run. Their home record of 5-0 and solid away performance of 2-2 demonstrate their ability to win under different conditions, with an overall win percentage of .778 and a region win percentage of .833.
Hannah-Pamplico’s offense is one of the most potent in the region, averaging 32.2 points per game. They excel in the first half, scoring an impressive 12.6 points in the first quarter and 10.0 points in the second quarter. Though their scoring slows down in the second half (3.4 points in the third and 5.0 in the fourth), the strong first-half performances have set the tone for their victories.
With a strong season so far, Hannah-Pamplico’s focus will be on maintaining their momentum and securing the region title with their remaining games. Their only region loss came early in the season, and they have yet to falter at home.
Head-to-Head and Common Opponents
As the teams have not yet faced off this season, the upcoming matchup will be a highly anticipated one. Neither team has played a common opponent yet, so it’s difficult to predict how they might match up. However, based on their current form, it seems likely that Hannah-Pamplico will come into the game as the favorite, given their stronger overall and region records.
Conclusion
The contrast in these two teams’ seasons couldn’t be starker. Military Magnet Academy is struggling to find a rhythm, while Hannah-Pamplico has been rolling with a potent offense and a near-perfect record in the region. As the season continues, all eyes will be on their upcoming showdown, where Military Magnet will need to find ways to limit Hannah-Pamplico’s high-scoring attack and capitalize on any mistakes to pull off an upset.
With playoffs on the horizon, every game counts—especially for teams like Military Magnet Academy, who must dig deep to turn their season around before it’s too late. For Hannah-Pamplico, the path forward looks promising as they aim to finish strong and compete for the region title.
