Goose Creek wins playoff opener
Virgil Smalls scored on a pair of short touchdown runs and defensive back Curtis Washington made two interceptions to lead Goose Creek to a 28-2 victory over T.L. Hanna in the opening round of the Class AAAA Division II playoffs.
The Gators led 21-0 at halftime over the Yellow Jackets and coasted home to their ninth win this season. It’s only the third time in school history the Gators have won nine games.
They’ll face either Greenwood or Lancaster in the second round. The Greenwood-Lancaster was postponed to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Albert Kirk added an interception, while Ranoy Hines and Kevin Glears scored the other touchdowns for the Gators.

ABILITY TO THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!!!! : 11/19/2008
Curtis Washington, has surely earned the #1 that is portrayed on his jersey. His performance was nothing short of outstanding. His beginnings with the Gators was modest and humble however, he has more than made his mark and come into his own. Curtis made 2 interceptions and a number of other key plays that were contributing factors in Goose Creek's win over T.L. Hanna. To say that I am proud of Curtis our son, would be an understatement. This is his best High School performance yet. I employ that everyone should keep an eye on this player be it in Football or any other sport, not because he's our son and we love him, it's because he's great in more ways than one. Curtis is one of those people who WILL make a positive influence in this world someday. Keep up the pursuit of excellence son! Your family, friends, and community support you.
