HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — The Hilton Head Island High School Seahawks landed at No. 21 in a statewide South Carolina high school football top 25 released Oct. 11, rewarding a 6-1 start for the Hilton Head team during its open week.

The Seahawks sit 2-0 and first in AAAA Region 6, riding a four-game win streak. Hilton Head Island is 4-0 on the road and 2-1 at home, scoring 214 points while allowing 124.

The lone loss came Sept. 4 at home, a 33-15 setback against Rock Hill. Since then the Seahawks have beaten Christ Church 28-14, Camden 27-20, Bluffton 57-12 and Lucy Beckham 14-0 in a road region shutout on Oct. 2.

The season opened with a 38-21 win over South Florence and a 35-24 road win at Bamberg-Ehrhardt.

The statewide rankings draw on the Massey Ratings model, which weighs game outcomes, strength of schedule and margin of victory.

Region play resumes Friday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. when the Seahawks host May River, followed by Colleton County at home on Oct. 23 and a trip to Beaufort on Oct. 30.
