They’ve known each other for years. They’ve played together on at least three different teams. During high school season, they’ve played against each other for four years.

Tonight, the roles were reversed. Woodmont is a regional powerhouse this year just like Mauldin was two years ago.

But no matter who wins, the after-game picture is always the same.
