Check out these previews of the five high school football games in our area that were moved to Wednesday night, below. Rock Hill-York is still scheduled to play Thursday night, though it’s not clear if that game will go forward with Hurricane Florence expected to affect the area by Thursday.

Northwestern-Sumter and Great Falls-Dixie have been postponed indefinitely, with Sumter’s school district already closed as of Tuesday. It’s unknown if games that are postponed will be made up, because many regions across the state begin league play next week.

Wednesday games

Lancaster at Chester, 6:30 p.m.

Last week: Lancaster beat Nation Ford 24-13; Chester beat Columbia (Ga.) 26-16

Last meeting: Chester won 43-22 (2017)

Key players: L: DB Jaelan Harfield, DB Zyon Duncan, WR Zach Truesdale, RB Nygel Moore. C: RB Pha’Leak Brown, WR Ja’Rel Hill, DB Dorrien Bagley, RB Emmanuel Wright.

Need to know: Both are undefeated at 4-0, both love to run the football, and both play pretty good defense. This game should be a great affair, especially with a short week. Wonder if either side will try to slip in a weird trick play or something that’s unexpected from the opposition, given the lack of time to prepare fully. Lancaster is running the ball very well, but the Bruins haven’t allowed more than 18 points in a game this season. Lancaster will be the best test yet of whether Chester can blast through teams with sheer will and skill.

Indian Land at Nation Ford, 6:30 p.m.

Last week: Indian Land lost to Rock Hill 34-7; Nation Ford lost to Lancaster 24-13

Last meeting: Nation Ford won 31-7 (2017)

Key players: IL: LB Robby Csuhta, OL Nick Yarborough, RB Tyree Sistare, DB A.J. Jefferson. NF: LB Michael Peterson, DB Xavier Diaz, DL Jordan Hickman, OL Garrett Buckley.

Need to know: A win for Indian Land would be an immense boost for the Warriors ahead of very difficult games agianst South Pointe and Chester. Nation Ford, struggling again, could also use a victory. The Falcons got a school record 218 yards on the ground from Nathan Mahaffey last week, but can’t seem to pair the junior’s breakout season with much team success so far.

Greenville at South Pointe, 6:30 p.m.

Last week: Greenville beat J.L. Mann 48-19; South Pointe was idle

Last meeting: South Pointe won 48-30 (2016)

Key players: G: RB Collin Wakefield, QB Davis Beville (Pitt commit), WR Aziz Huff, DB Jalen Tate. SP: RB Joe Ervin (Coastal Carolina commit), OL Kyson Chisholm, LB Kobe Shannon, DL Adam Foxx.

Need to know: South Pointe has scored at least 48 points in four all-time wins over Greenville. The current version of the Red Raiders have leaned big-time on running back Collin Wakefield, who is averaging almost 200 yards rushing per game and averaging 8.1 yards per carry. After hanging 60 points on Nation Ford Aug. 31, South Pointe probably would have rather played last week. The Stallion offense was humming behind junior QB Tahleek Steele and the school record total yardage performance he produced will have really helped his confidence.

Ashbrook (N.C.) at Clover, 7 p.m.

Last week: Ashbrook beat Forestview 28-27; Clover beat South Point (N.C.) 30-21

Last meeting: Clover won 56-26 (2017)

Key players: A: RB Tyresse Nicholas, QB Jakai Grier, LB Quan Willis. C: RB David Hall, RB Jo Jo Ellis, OL Colby Ballard, WR Jaylin Lane.

Need to know: Clover’s second-half defensive performance against South Point was excellent and should give the Blue Eagles belief as they approach the business end of the season. This game is really a trap more than anything – a short week against a tricky opponent, with an attention-sucking serious weather event looming. This will be a test of Clover’s region title credentials, but in a different way: can Brian Lane’s team follow up a big win with another, in less than ideal circumstances?

Fort Mill at Lugoff-Elgin, 7:30 p.m.

Last week: Fort Mill lost to Camden 28-16; Lugoff-Elgin lost to River Bluff 28-18

Last meeting: Fort Mill won 35-14 (2015)

Key players: FM: WR Cam Saunders, WR/DB Justin Crimm, LB Brandon Jennings. LE: DL Ethan Hix, LB David Pillard, LB Eli McGee.

Need to know: One of these teams will get its first win of the season Wednesday. Fort Mill’s defense has had a tough season, but the Yellow Jackets forced four turnovers last week against Camden, a stat that sorely needs to be replicated against the Demons.
