A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE DUTCH FORK HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS 
FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2024 SOUTH 
CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Dutch Fork High School football team of Richland County garnered the state 
trophy from the state championship game held at South Carolina State's Oliver C. 
Dawson Stadium on Friday, December 13, 2024; and

Whereas, to the 
excitement of their steadfast fans, the Dutch Fork Silver Foxes clinched the 
title from their rival Summerville High School with a decisive 35-21 victory. 
Since the South Carolina High School League expanded to five classifications in 
2016, Dutch Fork has won nine state championships; and

Whereas, during an 
intense and, at times, contentious game, the Silver Foxes' hard work and 
determination enabled them to come away with the victory. This win was 
significant to the team after practicing so hard for it all year; and

Whereas, it was the 
Silver Foxes' third straight title and ninth in twelve appearances under head coach 
Tom Knotts. This was also the fifth undefeated season in school history for 
the Silver Foxes; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the pride and recognition 
that the Dutch Fork football players have brought to their school and to their 
community, and the members look forward to hearing of their continued 
accomplishments in the seasons to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of 
Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Dutch Fork High School 
football team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and 
congratulate them for winning the 2024 South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship 
title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Dr. Gerald Gary, Principal of Dutch Fork High School, and Coach 
Tom Knotts.
