Who: Northwood Academy (7-2, 4-0 SCISAA region 2-AA) vs. Thomas Heyward Academy (3-5, 1-3)
Where: Harvey-Beach Stadium, Ridgeland
When: 7:30 p.m. today
Record vs. common opponents: Northwood Academy 3-0 (def. St. Andrew's 35-14, Hilton Head Prep 55-15 and First Baptist 43-0); Thomas Heyward 1-2 (def. First Baptist 26-23, lost to St. Andrew's 35-14 and Hilton Head Prep 42-28).
What's important: There's no secret what Thomas Heyward and Northwood Academy want to do offensively. Both teams are run-first squads. Northwood will put the ball in RB Uriah Singleton's hands as much as possible. He has rushed for 1,473 yards and 21 TDs this season. Singleton also was responsible for knocking the Rebels out of the playoffs last year, leading Northwood with 186 yards and three Tds in a 24-21 win. Thomas Heyward will counter with RBs Perry Pender and Jeremy Tindal and QB JA Malphrus, who ran for 108 yards in a loss to Hilton Head Prep last week.

Thomas Heyward -- Offense: JA Malphrus, QB; Perry Pender, RB; Jeremy Tindal, RB; Ty Davis, WR; Corey Tuten, WR; Brook Youmans, TE; Drew Moser, OL; Josh Keiffer, OL; Coulter Bergmann, OL; Bobby Daring, OL; James Drew, OL.
