Quarterback Chad Chandler accounted for both touchdowns.

Chandler put the Panthers ahead with a 20-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Marshall on a third-down play. Lakeside, which has battled injuries all year, faced the same difficulties Friday.

"We had a lot of injuries," Lakeside coach Jody Grooms said. "Each time, we plugged somebody in there and they'd make a play."

Grooms' team improved to 4-3 overall and 3-3 in Region 3-AAAA.

Augusta Christian 27, Cardinal Newman 0

COLUMBIA -- William Banks ran for 173 yards and two touchdowns to lead Augusta Christian to the victory.

The Lions' first score came on a Corey Kupitz 26-yard punt return. Coach Bruce Lane's team improved to 8-1 overall and 3-0 in SCISA Region 1-AAA. Augusta Christian plays host to Pinewood Prep for homecoming next week.
