A showdown between five-time defending state champ Dutch Fork and No. 5 Fort Dorchester highlights this week’s action that will determine next week’s state championship matchups. On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 Gaffney, which beat former No. 3 Northwestern in overtime, faces No. 6 Spartanburg.
The Indians and the Vikings opened the season against each other with Gaffney winning 31-12.
