L-E shows plenty of fight in 41-17 loss to Lexington

Lugoff-Elgin may not have a win, but the Demons do have plenty of heart. On Friday night, visiting Lexington defeated L-E, 41-17, keeping the Demons winless through the season's first six games, in the final tune-up before region play. But there was some good to come out of the loss as the hosts saw their junior quarterback, Shon Belton, pull off a gutsy performance while the team as a whole began to gel by the ...

L-EMS hosts Stover on Wednesday

As a coach, you want your team to be consistent, if nothing else. For that reason, among others, you will not hear too much complaining out of Lugoff-Elgin Middle School head football coach Randy Stokes. Last Thursday, the Leopards improved to 2-0 on the young season with a 32-8 win over Mid-Carolina. That came after Stokes and company opened their season with a 32-6 thumping of Lee Central. On Wednesday at Lugoff-Elgin Stadium, the Leopards ...

Miller leads way for L-E harriers

L-E’s furious 28-point rally comes up short in 34-28 loss

FLORENCE -- A tale of two halves. This statement has been used over and over again in sports, but it has never been more accurate on the high school football platform then this past Friday night in Florence. West Florence jumped out to a big lead then held off a furious rally by the Lugoff-Elgin before winning, 34-28, at Memorial Stadium. The host Knights scored all of their 34 points in the first half, while ...

Lady Demons shuffle Cards for first win

Cardinal Newman was in the wrong place at then wrong time. The Cardinals had the unenviable task of traveling to meet a Lugoff-Elgin volleyball team which was still stinging from having opened the season with losses to White Knoll, Westwood and Brookland-Cayce last week. This came on the heels of the Lady Demons earning a top eight finish in the Carolina Forest Pre-Season tournament. On Tuesday, Jessica Mullins' troops took their frustrations out on Cardinal ...

Falcons soar past Lugoff-Elgin, 51-13

Losing like this is a hard pill to swallow. When nothing goes right for one team and everything goes well for the opposition, it's like an avalanche slowly building toward you at the end of a cliff. That was the feeling Friday night as visiting Nation Ford defeated Lugoff-Elgin in the Demons' home opener, 51-13.

Demons look for better luck against ‘other’ Fort Mill entry

Here's hoping that things go better against the team from the other side of town. After having opened the season with a 39-21 road loss to Fort Mill last Friday night, Lugoff-Elgin opens its home season tonight when the other school from Fort Mill, Nation Ford, comes to L-E Stadium. A week ago, the Demons may have been a bit stage struck in playing an opponent for the first time since a 7-6 victory over ...

Quick-starting Yellow Jackets hold off Demons, 39-21

FORT MILL -- There is no mulligan in football, not even a reset button. Lugoff-Elgin probably wished they could re-start the season in another way because the outcome Friday night left a sour taste in its mouth. A first half of miscues and mistakes led Fort Mill over the visiting Demons in Friday's season opener, 39-21. L-E was plagued by turnovers, miscues and mistakes, all in the first half, which gave the hosts all the ...
