"MEET COREY STONER"

Meet Corey Stoner. He's been intoducing himself to Lowcounty football the only way he knows how. Through brute force and accurate passing. Stoner and the Bobcats (2-0) travel to Hardeeville tonight looking to sweep the area's three rival schools.

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

"B-TOWN BEAT DOWN"

New Bluffton High School football coach Ken Cribb had a question for his Bobcat team before taking the field Saturday night on Hilton Head Island.

"Who wants to make history?"

History, it turns out, is the Bobcats' favorite subject.

Bluffton defeated rival Hilton Head Island High School Saturday for the first time in program history, walloping the Seahawks 39-0.
