South Pointe blows out AC Flora, advances to SCHSL football semifinals
The South Pointe football team won in dominant fashion once again.
The Stallions ran up the score early in their 56-14 victory against AC Flora on Friday night at District Three South Stadium in the SCHSL Class 4A quarterfinals.
No. 1 seed South Pointe (12-1) is now set to host third-seeded Westside in the 4A semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Senior quarterback and safety J’Zavien Currence, the South Carolina signee, rushed for three touchdowns and threw for two more.
“It was just staying the course,” Currence said. “We just keep getting better and better, seeing ourselves getting better at what we’re doing, and playoffs, we’re getting hot. So watch out.
“It means a lot. It’ll be my last home game, and I just want to go out with a bang and go win it in Orangeburg.”

The Stallions drove early in the second quarter with a big pass play, and Currence sprinted for a 15-yard touchdown that gave them a 28-0 lead.

Currence scored quickly, rushing for a 12-yard touchdown. The Stallions took a 49-14 lead to halftime.
Freshman wide receiver Tarion Starnes hauled in a touchdown pass from Currence, scoring the first of his career.

Coach said it
“We’ve got the best strength coach in the country,” South Pointe head coach Bobby Collins said. “Coach West does an excellent job with our guys. What we do behind the scenes is what makes us different. I know for the fans, we always want to win. We always want to give them a show. But our kids, they put it out on the grass, on the practice field, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So they know on Friday, they can come here and put on a show. That’s what you do here in Rock Hill.”
