Dutch Fork opens the season with three straight road games against Ridge View, Spartanburg and Lucy Beckham before returning home to face Sumter and Gray Collegiate. Gray Collegiate should provide one of the Silver Foxes' toughest regular-season tests before region play begins. Region 3 play opens at Lexington before road trips to Chapin and home games against River Bluff and White Knoll wrap up the regular season. The schedule doesn't feature many nationally recognized opponents, but it includes enough quality teams to prepare Dutch Fork for what should be the state's toughest Class 5A playoff bracket in several years. Aug. 28: at Ridge View Sept. 4: at Spartanburg Sept. 11: at Lucy Beckham Sept. 18: vs. Sumter Sept. 25: vs. Gray Collegiate Oct. 2: at Lexington Oct. 9: at Chapin Oct. 16: vs. River Bluff Oct. 30: vs. White Knoll
Jaxon Knotts — QB, 2027 Knotts returns after throwing for 2,293 yards and 19 touchdowns while accounting for 24 total touchdowns during Dutch Fork's championship season. He'll once again lead one of South Carolina's most efficient offenses. Maleek Miller — WR, 2027 The Irmo transfer arrives after producing more than 1,400 yards from scrimmage and 19 total touchdowns. His versatility should make an immediate impact in Dutch Fork's offense. Peyton Bishop — EDGE, 2027 Bishop transferred from A.C. Flora after recording 108 tackles, 25.5 tackles for loss and 16 sacks. He immediately strengthens an already talented defensive front. Jaden Wuerth — EDGE, 2027 Wuerth recorded 11 sacks during last year's championship run and now teams with Bishop to give Dutch Fork a dangerous edge combination. Kyle Henry — RB, 2027 Henry returns after rushing for nearly 600 yards during the 2025 season and should once again play an important role in the offense. Corey Miller — WR, 2029 After catching 30 passes for 549 yards as a freshman at Irmo, Miller arrives as one of South Carolina's top young receivers and should compete for immediate playing time. Brody Lorenzo — OL, 2028 Lorenzo returns as one of the leaders along the offensive line and will play a key role protecting Knotts while helping establish another balanced rushing attack.
