COLUMBIA, S.C. — After losing to Gaffney 22-19 in last year’s 5A state championship game, Dutch Fork has been on a mission to not only return to the finals but close the season with another celebration.
The Silver Foxes took a big step in the 5A Upper State finals by going to The Reservation and defeating Gaffney 51-28 in front of large and raucous crowd which is a trademark of Gaffney home games.
That performance has earned the Silver Foxes a return trip to Benedict’s Charlie W. Johnson Stadium where they will face Fort Dorchester in the 5A state finals.
A win would give Dutch Fork a sixth state championship in the last seven seasons and would allow seniors like star running back Jarvis Green to close out their high school careers with a championship.
