Summerville Journal Scene ®
Four Dorchester County schools opened their football season with a win Friday.
De'angelo Henderson rushed for 259 yards and five touchdowns to lead Summerville past Conway, 50-26, in the season opener for both schools before a crowd of more than 6,000 at John McKissick Field.
Henderson, who finished with 298 yards of total offense, scored on runs of 60, 1, 3, 1, and 35 yards. Three of the scores came in the fourth quarter when the game was still in doubt.
The second half was in stark contrast to the first half that saw Conway jump out to a 20-14 lead. The Green Wave outscored the Tigers, 36-7, over the final two quarters.
The turning point in the game came at the end of the third quarter when Conway quarterback Mychal Moody twisted his ankle and did not return to the game. The Tigers trailed by just a point, 21-20, going into the fourth quarter. Moody finished with 145 yards and scored three TDs before he was injured.
Quarterback Dalton Saunders and running back J.R. Leach also scored for the Green Wave. Saunders scored on a 1-yard run and Leach on a 17-yard run.
Pinewood Prep turned the tables on Northwood Academy in the SCISA openers for both schools. After suffering a one-sided loss to the Chargers to open the 2009 season, Pinewood earned a 54-20 victory over the Chargers during their 2010 opener.
Ashley Ridge earned a 14-0 victory over Cane Bay friday. In North Charleston, Fort Dorchester defeated Woodland 31-20. For more on those two games, see the articles below.
