The top seniors from the Lowco will get one last shot to strap on the pads in their high school football careers and represent their state in the annual Blitz Border Bowl, which pits the Lowco stars against their Savannah-area rivals with kickoff scheduled for noon at Memorial Stadium in Savannah.
Team Lowco is looking to bounce back from a tough loss last year after rallying for a thrilling win in 2022. Bluffton Bobcats head coach Hayden Gregory will lead the Lowcountry squad and bring a number of the stars from his high-flying offense with him, including quarterback Owen Bayes — one of three QBs on the Lowco roster — and prolific receiver Brandon Bryant. Battery Creek’s Juju Gordon will also be among the Lowco receiving corps.
Beaufort’s Jadyn Andrews and Whale Branch’s Darrell Cummings round out a backfield led by S.C. Mr. Football finalist and Gatorade S.C. Player of the Year Zion Dobson. The Hurricanes will also lend two of the linemen who helped pave the way for Dobson to work up front alongside Beaufort’s Adrian Lamb to anchor the line.
Whale Branch star defensive lineman Bradford Thompson gives the Lowco two lethal pass rushers with Hampton’s Ka’Von Chisolm on the opposite side, and Warriors defensive back KJ Chisholm and Beaufort’s Dom Camacho will help anchor the secondary.
Tickets are available at WSAV.com. Proceeds from the game benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire.
