Johnston, S.C.  - Coach Robbie Goldman at Wardlaw Academy still has his Patriots in contention for the SCISA Region 4-A despite their 2-6 over all and 2-1 region records.

The Patriots are playing in the tough region against W.W. King, Newberry Academy, Richard Winn Academy, Laurens Academy and Oconee Christian. Richard Winn Academy leads the region going into Spring break.
