Socastee may be more concerned with this week's game against Georgetown and maybe even where it stacks up for the playoff race.
Still, the benefits of last week's win over Myrtle Beach now have the Braves in unprecedented territory. Coach Tim Renfrow's 7-0 team is now ranked No. 4 in Class AAA in the statewide prep poll, released Wednesday. It is the highest the Braves have been ranked in the state poll this late in the season.
Socastee jumped Myrtle Beach, which dropped to No. 5 from No. 1, and Hartsville moved into the top spot in the class.
