Down go the Navigators! Johns Island put together a week to remember in the Holy War, putting up the highest score of any team in college football, winning by nearly triple digits, and clinching bowl eligibility for the second year in a row. We still have a shot at winning the Southern V again, but we'll need some help to do it. It'll start this week against our old rivals in Lone Star, who also have an outside shot at a conference title in their first year back. We'll look to WR Noah Smith, who scored both a receiving touchdown and a rushing touchdown in his debut as an Angels starter. We're also breaking out our throwback unis for our final home game (at least in the regular season!) of the year. #HeardOnHigh #SouthernVFootball #TheMatterIsSimplyOfGreaterImportance

After 4 straight losses and looking like we would not make a bowl game for the second straight year, the Stegos have rattled off 4 straight wins and (thanks to some helpful losses from Hawaii State) are still in the hunt for the Super West title. We'll have a chance to become bowl-eligible this week, and we can do it in no better week than Homecoming. We welcome Playa to the Kidd for Homecoming Week, and will be taking them on in the inaugural 1981 Southern Colorado Stegos uniforms. Freshman QB Jaylen Raynor impressed last week in his first start as a Stego, throwing for 306 yards and 2 touchdowns while gaining 52 extra yards on the ground. He'll continue to get the start as we need a win to stay alive in the Super West and to be bowl-eligible. #BringTheBoom

With a huge win over Nouvelle France in the Gulf Battle, the Jellyfish move to 6-3 in a three way tie for the Southern V conference with Nouvelle France and Johns Island. Fortunately for us, we control our destiny as we have the tiebreaker on both of them, and they play each other. We're on the road to close out the season as we head to Charlotte to take on Queen City State, so we'll be in the sapphire helmets, white jersey, and mint pants. We've been relying on our running game, so I don't see why we wouldn't keep doing that. We're highlighting running back Jacory Merritt for this one, as we hope to sting the Stingers. (get it, because jellyfish sting people?) #UnderTheSea #StingTheStingers


And, with a little bit of help from Playa, the Hawks clinch the Super West championship. We know we get to go to the Avocado Bowl and await who our opponents will be. In the meantime, we'll head over to the mainland to take on our rivals on their (subpar) beach, Playa del Rey. The Penguins are coming off a big win over Southern Colorado (as stated previously), and need a win to get to 5 and be bowl eligible, so we expect a tough matchup. We're going to be in the all white look, white helmets, white jerseys, and white pants. Our featured player this week is running back Carson Steele, who has really been running strong of late, hitting 89 yards and a touchdown in his complimentary role to Audric Estime. #FlyingHI #PenguinsCantFly

We couldn't keep winning and finally fell after 4 straight weeks of winning, suffering our first major defeat in in our last game in front of our home crowd this year against Playa. As a result of us losing and Hawaii State winning, we can no longer win the Super West. However, there is still one last chance for us to get bowl eligible, and it's against our biggest rival in Yellowstone. We'll have to take on the Moose on the road, so it will be no easy task for us. Sophomore RB Sieh Bangura has started nearly every game this year for the Stegos, though new transfers in have lessened his role compared to last year. His stat line of 64 total yards and a touchdown may not seem much, but were crucial in keeping the game close when it was, and should provide a great supporting role in this critical week. In what could be the final game of the season, we'll be wearing the standard road set. #BringTheBoom

Thank you everyone for a great college football season! Time for bowl season!



We have some intriguing matchups for the first round of the playoffs...including a bitter Heartland Rivalry, a second straight matchup between Southern V rivals and a handful of new schools are involved. 




I look forward to the teams' looks for the matchups. Feel free to reach out if you want a bowl patch for your uniforms.
