Dutch Fork, ranked No. 64 in the Preseason High School Football America 100, powered by NFL Play Football, edged No. 82 Hough 27-24 in the 9th annual Charlotte Kickoff Night.
The Silver Foxes, who saw its 61-game win streak snapped in last year’s South Carolina 5A championship game, trailed 9-7 early in the third quarter. Jarvis Green’s one-yard touchdown run gave DF a lead it wouldn’t give up.
