As the 2024 football season progresses, two teams in South Carolina have been making waves with their performances. McBee and Hunter-Kinard-Tyler are both contenders, with starkly different records and stats that tell a compelling story of their seasons so far. Let’s take a deeper dive into how these two teams measure up across several key metrics.

Team Overview

McBee enters the season with a modest overall record of 4-5. While the team has struggled in league play with a 2-3 regional record, McBee has shown a resilient spirit, particularly when playing at home, where they have a winning record of 3-2. Their offensive stats reveal a team that can put up points but has occasionally been inconsistent. They score an average of 23.3 points per game, with notable individual performances like Jasson Brockington’s 95 rushing yards per game, and Bryson Davis’s solid 21.0 receiving yards per game.

Hunter-Kinard-Tyler has been dominant this season, posting an impressive 8-1 record. This team has been near-perfect in regional play, with a flawless 3-0 record. Their offense is one of the most potent in the league, averaging 36.1 points per game. The team’s running game has been a major strength, with a solid offensive line allowing for 240.6 rushing yards per game. Key players like Jasson Brockington, with 103.5 total yards per game, lead the charge in both rushing and scoring.

Team Scoring Averages

When it comes to scoring, McBee averages 23.3 points per game, with the majority of their production coming in the second quarter (8.0 points per game) and the fourth quarter (4.1 points per game). Their ability to close out games strong shows promise for future matchups.

In contrast, Hunter-Kinard-Tyler has been an offensive powerhouse, with a high scoring output throughout the game. They average 36.1 points per game, and the team is particularly explosive in the second quarter (14.4 points per game). Their ability to score in every quarter, including an impressive 8.6 points per game in the final period, highlights their ability to maintain pressure and dominate throughout the game.

Offensive and Defensive Breakdown

Offensively, McBee relies heavily on their running game, averaging 240.6 rushing yards per game. Passing-wise, they average just 60.2 yards per game, suggesting a more ground-oriented offense. However, their total offensive production of 300.8 yards per game shows they can move the ball when needed.

Defensively, McBee averages 47.0 tackles per game but only 1.1 sacks per game, which could be an area for improvement as they face tougher opponents.

On the other hand, Hunter-Kinard-Tyler does not have their rushing and passing yardage detailed, but their total yardage per game speaks volumes, as they are scoring at will. With a strong defensive effort, allowing only 110 points all season, the team’s ability to limit opposing offenses has been a critical factor in their 8-1 record.

Key Players

Both teams feature standout players:

• McBee‘s Jasson Brockington leads the team with 95.0 rushing yards per game, and his 103.5 total yards per game are critical to their offensive production. Brockington is also a top scorer with 7.5 points per game. Bryson Davis’s 21.0 receiving yards per game and Jakari Holloman’s 12.7 tackles per game make them key contributors on both sides of the ball.
• Hunter-Kinard-Tyler also relies on Brockington, who is a dual-threat player capable of accumulating yards both on the ground and through the air. His leadership on the field is evident, and the team’s offensive balance—particularly their rush-heavy attack—has kept defenses on edge all season. The team’s defense has also been sharp, with Tylique Joines contributing 0.5 sacks per game and a collective effort in holding opponents to just 110 points.

Head-to-Head Record and Common Opponents

Both teams have faced common opponents this season, including a matchup against Lewisville. McBee lost to Lewisville 52-7, while Hunter-Kinard-Tyler also faced defeat, albeit more narrowly, with a 44-16 loss. This indicates that both teams have had their challenges, but Hunter-Kinard-Tyler’s stronger season record suggests they have found a way to bounce back more effectively.

Conclusion

While McBee has had an up-and-down season, their resilience and individual standout performances show that they can be a dangerous team when firing on all cylinders. Hunter-Kinard-Tyler, on the other hand, has proven themselves as one of the top contenders with a stellar 8-1 record and explosive offense.

As the season progresses, both teams will look to improve their records and build on their strengths. For McBee, it will be about consistency and capitalizing on their strengths in the running game and late-game execution. For Hunter-Kinard-Tyler, continuing their dominance both offensively and defensively will be the key to maintaining their winning form.
