Week 5 of the 2021 football season will kickoff on Thursday and Class AAAA will have five games scheduled for that night. There are 28 more matchups slated for Friday and one Saturday game bringing the total to 34 games this week in the classification. It is typical for a lot of byes at this point of the season and a total of 13 Class AAAA programs will be off this week as non-region action winds down and region play gets set to begin in earnest. Here’s a look at what to watch this week.
Thursday’s lineup will showcase Westover hosting Class AA Early County and Carver-Columbus hosting Shaw in a Region 2 battle with a chance to improve to 3-0 in region action. Shaw, on the other hand will be playing its first region game of the year and is still searching for its first win after an 0-2 start. A pair of Region 3 programs are also playing Thursday with Benedictine hosting Wayne County and Islands hosting Class 6A powerhouse Brunswick. Riverdale is 2-0 on the season and will face Pebblebrook on Thursday.
Region 2 and Region 5 will both have three region contests Friday and there will be 22 other Friday night matchups. The lone game on Saturday will be Jenkins facing off with Hilton Head SC in a cross-state matchup.
