Friday night isn’t just another region game — it’s a statement. Both Ridge View and Sumter come in unbeaten in region play, riding separate but serious waves of momentum. One wins with defense, the other drops fireworks. The result could shake up 5A playoff seeding in a hurry. 🔍 At a Glance


ree

Ridge View Blazers (6-2, 4-0 Region) 🏅 State Rank: #7🧱 Points Allowed: 91 total (11.4 per game) 🏠 Home Record: 4-0 — nearly untouchable⚡ Scoring Average: 36.3 PPG🚫 Third-Quarter Lockdown: Opponents average just 4.3 points after halftime


ree

Sumter Gamecocks (7-1, 4-0 Region) 🏅 State Rank: #24🔥 Offense: 331 points (41.4 PPG) 🛣 Road Record: 4-0 — battle-tested⚡ Fast Starts: 25.8 points per half on average😮‍💨 Late-Game Drop-Off: 5.7 points in the fourth quarter 🧩 What It Might Come Down To

The first half. Sumter tends to jump on teams early and coast with a lead. If they build a two-score edge by halftime, Ridge View could be forced into a rare pass-heavy script.

But the Blazers don’t flinch. Their defense has been a second-half problem for every opponent this season — disciplined, physical, and built to grind out close games. If they keep it within one score through two quarters, that third-quarter defense can tilt the game their way.

⚔️ Key Matchup

Sumter’s Ground Game vs. Ridge View’s Front Seven

Sumter loves to set the tone by running downhill, but that’s exactly what Ridge View is built to stop. Allowing just 11 points per contest, the Blazers control the line and make teams earn every yard. This is power vs. pressure — something has to give.

🧠 Brahma Media Outlook

If Sumter jumps ahead by two scores early, they’ll dictate the tempo and keep control. But if Ridge View drags them into a four-quarter dogfight, that defense becomes the difference.
