Allendale‑Fairfax Lady Tigers to Host Lake View Monday at 6 p.m.

Allendale‑Fairfax High School announced a home playoff game in the AFHS gym, saying “The Lady Tigers would host a first‑round SCHSL girls basketball playoff game at the AFHS gym on Monday evening, February 16, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. The announcement invited the community to attend.” The post appeared with the district’s live‑feed language and invited fans to the game.

A more recent Allendale County School District Facebook post reinforced a home playoff message and local momentum, writing, “We played our final home regular-season games on Friday against Royal Live Oaks Academy Royals. Both our girls and boys basketball teams secured victories, with the Lady Tigers dominating 54–29 and the boys battling to a 51-50 win. The journey continues for our Lady Tigers as they host the first round of playoffs tonight at 6 PM against the Lake View High School Gators. It has been a long and competitive season and we appreciate all the support we have received and hope you will continue to encourage our Tigers!” That Facebook post recorded “All reactions: 45 / 2 comments / 6 shares” and drew cheers in the comments, including Russell Crews, “Go AF Tigers!” and Vincent Gadson, “Go Tigers.”

District communications, however, contain multiple posts that conflict with the Facebook announcement. One ACSD post stated, “The Lady Tigers defeated the Lamar Silver Foxes 44-28 which means they will advance to the second round of playoffs. The next game will be on Friday, February 16th at 7:00 PM in the AFHS Gym against East Clarendon. Come out to support our girls as they make their way to the State Championship!” That post names East Clarendon as the opponent and gives a 7:00 PM start time on a Friday date that conflicts with other notices.

Another ACSD post declared, “Join us in congratulating our Lady Tigers on becoming the 7A Region Champions! They have advanced to the first round of playoffs which will be held tonight, at 6:30 PM in the AFHS gym. Please come out to support our team #togetherwecandothis !” That message asserts region champion status and yet a different kickoff time, 6:30 PM.

The district also promoted attendance terms in a separate post: “As an added incentive, the first 50 students get into tonight's game for FREE! After that, the cost of admission will be $8. So be on time and come out to support our Lady Tigers!” Those admission details were published alongside other routine district notices that include hiring and school clinic information, such as “Allendale County Schools is looking for instructional facilitators ... contact us directly at 803-584-4603” and “Today the AFHS Cosmetology Salon Clinic will be open from 9AM-1PM. Walk-ins are accepted, but not guaranteed. Please be reminded we only accept cash as a form of a payment.”

Season context from MaxPreps shows the Lady Tigers’ run included a Dec 30, 2025 loss to Silver Bluff, 37–39; a Dec 31, 2025 loss to Blackville‑Hilda, 49–54; a Jan 3, 2026 victory over Calhoun County, 74–23; a Jan 30, 2026 loss to Bamberg‑Ehrhardt, 47–65; and a Feb 3, 2026 win over Hardeeville, 37–35. The MaxPreps schedule at a glance lists Lake View among opponents and shows “Rankings, Last Updated: Feb 19, 2026.”

Because official posts differ on opponent, day and start time, Facebook and the original live‑feed name Lake View and 6:00 p.m., ACSD posts list East Clarendon and times of 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM, readers should note the conflicting information. Reporters and fans seeking confirmation can contact Allendale County Schools via the district communication channel listed in ACSD posts at 803-584-4603 or check the SCHSL official bracket for final playoff pairings and verified start times.
