Tonight is pivotal for the
football teams at Ninety Six and Newberry high schools.
They
are both 1-1 in Region 2-AA after losses last week, and need a win tonight to be
considered a contender during the Class AA
playoffs.
Pressure? What pressure?
Wildcats coach Chris Liner,
whose team lost 38-20 against Batesburg-Leesville, insisted his team feels
none.
"We're focusing on things one week at a time," Liner
siad. "We put last week's loss behind us and are concentrating on Newberry, and
that's kind of where we're at."
Newberry coach Phil
Strickland, whose Bulldogs lost 38-27 against top-ranked Abbeville last week,
said he can identify with what Ninety Six is going
through.
"I know they're unhappy with their loss; they've
been up and down," Strickland said. "We just hope (tonight) they'll be down and
we'll be up."
