Bishop England 24, Beaufort 14
Tylik Isom had a breakout performance with 141 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries, and Braydon-Moyd Smalls connected with Qualeek Isnar for a touchdown pass, but it wasn’t enough for the Eagles to knock off the defending region champions on the road.
Quinn Mahoney went 12-for-18 for 141 yards and threw touchdown passes to Zachary Balog and William Donato. Mitchell Plaisance added 90 yards and a TD on the ground for Bishop England (6-2, 1-2), which had dropped its first two region games.
Beaufort (3-5, 1-2) hosts May River on Friday, needing a win to break into the top four in the Region 6-4A standings.
Oceanside Collegiate 45, Battery Creek 0
The Dolphins turned the ball over on three of their first four possessions, the first two leading to Aiden Manavian TD passes, and Rhys Meredith took the third one 31 yards to the house to give the Landsharks a 21-0 lead. Oceanside stretched it to 42-0 by halftime with Zakhi Muncey scoring a pair of rushing touchdowns before Manavian found Terence Johnson for their second scoring connection of the night. The Landsharks eased off the gas after halftime and added a field goal in the fourth quarter.
Battery Creek (2-6, 0-2) hosts undefeated Orangeburg-Wilkinson on Friday.

Lake Marion 28, Whale Branch 26
The Warriors went down to the wire for the second straight week, but after pulling off a road win at Edisto to open region play, they found themselves on the wrong side of a one-score game Friday.
The teams traded scores all night, and the stadium was rocking for homecoming in Seabrook with the S.C. State marching band in the house, but the Gators escaped with a hard-fought region win.
Whale Branch (3-5, 1-1) faces a tough test at Hampton County on Friday. The Hurricanes have won their first three region games by a combined score of 149-0.
John Paul II 47, Thomas Heyward 21
The Golden Warriors continued their resurgent season with a lopsided road win over the Rebels, albeit a Thomas Heyward team without its biggest weapon.
THA star Tony O’Banner had a previously arranged recruiting visit planned for the Rebels’ off week, so he wasn’t available for this impromptu matchup that was added to the schedule late, and JPII’s ground game feasted in his absence.
Jadon Inabinett rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries, and quarterback Alan Wolf added 102 yards and two touchdowns on just two totes along with a touchdown pass to Zachary Moulton. Andrew Boyden added 40 yards and a touchdown on six carries, as the Golden Warriors’ offensive line dominated in the trenches all night.
Sean Phalen had seven tackles (five for loss) and a sack, and Taylor Murphy added five tackles to lead JPII’s defense, while Ethan Osterling and Harrison Milliard each recovered fumbles.
JPII (5-3, 1-0) gets a home rematch with Hilton Head Christian Academy on Friday, and the Eagles won’t have quarterback Reid McCollum this time around. A win would set up JPII for a region championship showdown at Pinewood Prep on Oct. 30.
Colleton Prep 28, Beaufort Academy 14
The War Hawks finished what they started on Sept. 26, holding off the Eagles for their seventh straight win and clinching the SCISA 2-1A region title.
Colleton Prep jumped out to a 14-0 halftime lead before the game was halted due to inclement weather and resumed three weeks later in Walterboro. Cale Owens scored a pair of rushing touchdowns before the break and added another Friday, finishing with 201 yards on 21 carries and three scores. Tanner Wolf added 92 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries for CPA.
BA (5-3, 1-1) gets a chance to bounce back at home Friday against Andrew Jackson Academy before finishing the season at home against Thomas Heyward on Oct. 31.
