It was another exciting week of South Carolina high school football action, especially among the state's Top 25 teams. Here is a look at the weekend Top 25 results.
Friday, October 30
It was not a surprise for the Silver Foxes to finish the regular season with another dominant win in region play. Since 2015, they have posted a 53-2 record against region foes.
The unexpected news came in the second half. Quarterback Jaxon Knotts left the game with an apparent hand injury.
Knotts’ father and head coach Tom Knotts said Saturday he’s hopeful his son will be ready for Dutch Fork’s playoff opener in the second round. Under Knotts, the Silver Foxes are 15-0 in playoff openers.
What looked like a potential season-ending showdown a month ago for city bragging rights saw the Trojans post their first shutout of the season. Mr. South Carolina Football finalist quarterback Xavier Means threw three second-half touchdowns as Northwestern moved into the number-one seed in the Class 5A Upper State.
For the second consecutive year, the Trojans closed out an undefeated regular season. Running back Mykell Warthen rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns and Jaquay Legree added 128 yards and a score. Quarterback Brooks Dantzler threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns.
The Indians rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to secure the Region 2-4A title. Down 27-13, Quarterback Corey Taylor threw a 34-yard touchdown to Quentis Hines with 7:55 left to make it 27-20 after the PAT.
Gaffney regained possession with 3:58 left and embarked on a 13-play, 68-yard scoring drive. After Taylor found Hank Davidson from 3 yards for the touchdown with 22 seconds left, Mr. South Carolina Football finalist Kendaris Bailey ran in the 2-point conversion for the victory.

The Yellow Jackets scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to rally for the victory. Quarterback Collin Tillman threw two touchdowns and Jayden Hatcher rushed for two scores in the second half.
Running back Tiyon Fanning had three touchdowns, two rushing and one receiving, as the Demons clinched the Region 4-4A title. Fellow Shrine Bowl selection wide receiver E.J. Richardson had a receiving touchdown and returned a fumble for a score.
The Bulldogs clinched the top seed in the Class 3A Lower State bracket with the resounding win. Greyson Rimpf threw four touchdown passes and Bernard Green scored three times.
The Hawks were held to their lowest point total of the season and fell to third place in Region 5-3A. This also sets up a first-round home game against Swansea rather than a bye.
Zy Rouse rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns and Kaden Wigfall had 129 yards and a score as the defending Class 2A champions rebounded for their first loss in two years. They will open the playoffs at home against Silver Bluff.
The Bruins had their 7-game winning streak snapped in stunning fashion. Trailing 13-12 and down to one play, Wilson quarterback Nabryson Elliott fired a high pass to a leaping Mark Law in the endzone for the game-winner. Despite the loss, South Florence earned a first-round bye after winning the region.
Wilson trailed for most of the game against South Florence. However, a late fourth-quarter rally proved the difference as the Tigers upset the 9th-ranked Bruins on the final night of the regular season.

South Florence is still the region champs and should have a first-round bye.… pic.twitter.com/IZ5AH260EZ
Christian Bennett rushed for three touchdowns as the Panthers scored the first 27 points of the game.
Broden Michelson rushed for three touchdowns and Noah Hardy had three field goals as the Yellow Jackets jumped past the Bulldogs for third place in the final Region 2-5A standings.
The number ‘7’ was magical Friday night for the region-champion Blazers. It was their seventh consecutive overall win and victory over the crosstown rival Bengals. Quarterback Tre Howard had another big game with five touchdown passes.
