HS Playoffs Roundup: Dutch Fork wins big. Irmo, Ridge View, Mid-Carolina advance
Jaxon Knotts’ thumb was fine — and so was the Dutch Fork football team. The Silver Foxes (10-0) turned in a dominating performance Friday in defeating Fort Mill 42-14 in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs. Dutch Fork will host Byrnes in the third round next week. Dutch Fork (10-0) extended its home-playoff winning streak to 31 games and has won 10 games in a season for the 16th time in the last 17 years The talk leading up to the game was if Knotts, the Dutch Fork quarterback, was going to play in the game. The senior injured his right thumb in the regular-season finale on Oct. 30. Knotts stayed busy during the off week and didn’t practice again until Wednesday. Dutch Fork coach Tom Knotts, Jaxon’s father, said he even thought about going with backup QB Jacob Brown and not playing his son unless he was absolutely needed.

HS football playoffs Week 2 schedule: Top games, injury questions for Dutch Fork
Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence. He has appeared in five games this season and is 16 of 23 for 131 yards. Dutch Fork and most of the other top teams in the area had first-round byes last week. The second round of the playoffs features many intriguing matchups. Here are some to keep an eye on Friday.
