PREP FOOTBALL Sumter to Meeting the challenge shift regions next SCHSL realignment BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

Sumter High School will be part of Region IV-5A – primar- ily a region of Lexington County schools – when the South Carolina High School League’s 2018-20 realignment goes into effect in the ’18-19 school year. Sumter made an appeal before the SCHSL executive committee on Wednesday to be moved to Region IV from Re- gion V, the Florence/Grand Strand region of which Sum- ter has been a member the past several years. Sumter was placed in Region V when the realignment proposal was released earlier this month. The move was approved by an 11-2 vote, according to SHS athletic director Curtis Johnson. Sumter will now be part of an eight-school region that includes Lexington County schools Chapin, Dutch Fork, Irmo, Lexington, River Bluff and White Knoll. The other school in the region will be Lu- goff-Elgin in Kershaw County. Region V included Myrtle Beach schools Carolina Forest, SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO Socastee and newcomer St. Wilson Hall offensive lineman Greyson Sonntag (70) will be trying to open some holes like he did last season in the Barons’ 7-6 victory James, another Horry County over Robert E.
