Marlboro County (Bennettsville, S.C.) finished the 2007 season with a 9-3 record, a region championship and an appearance in the second round of the Class 3A state playoffs. Head coach Dean Boyd returns a good group of talent next season, headlined by at least three rising seniors who could end up playing Division 1A football.
"We have three guys who are getting recruited the most, but we have as many as five or six who could be recruited pretty good," Boyd said. "The three who are being recruited the most are Tariq and Tyrell Edwards and Kinsman Thomas. Tariq and Tyrell are twin brothers and their father, Bo Campbell, played at Virginia Tech [from 1988 to 1992]. Tariq is 6-4, 225 pounds and Tyrell is 6-4, 219 pounds. Kinsman is 6-3, 210 pounds."
