Revenge not factor for Aiken in playoff rematch
Aiken High head coach Carey Johnson says revenge isn’t the motive as the Hornets travel to face Walterboro in the Class AAAA Division II second round tonight at 8. A win would push Aiken to the third round against the Mauldin Airport winner. The Hornets arrive 10-2 after beating James Island in the opener, but must contend with Walterboro’s different offense and playoff pressure.
