Irmo, SC — Dutch Fork High School’s impressive 24-game win streak came to a close on September 19, 2024, as they fell 24-20 to Oceanside Collegiate Academy from Mt. Pleasant, SC. The Silver Foxes, who had built a remarkable momentum following a difficult start to the 2023 season, faced their first loss of the current season after winning their opening three games.

With a turnaround that captured the attention of fans and teams across South Carolina, the Silver Foxes turned around their record to 2-5 before going on an exceptional eight-game winning streak. This culminated in their South Carolina SCHSL Class 5A state championship title, securing victories over formidable opponents.
The journey to the state title included notable wins against T.L. Hanna Yellow Jackets, edging them 31-28, and a narrow victory over J.L. Mann Patriots with a score of 31-30 during the playoffs. Dutch Fork demonstrated resilience and tenacity by avenging their earlier defeat to White Knoll Timberwolves in the state championship game, winning that matchup 21-6 on December 1, 2023.
In the 2024 season, Dutch Fork continued to build on the momentum from their previous title by winning their first three games. However, their bid for a consecutive victory was halted by Oceanside Collegiate Academy, who not only ended the Silver Foxes’ 24-game win streak but also marked their own turnaround, winning their third consecutive game after an initial 0-2 start.
In a game marked by key plays, Aiden Manavian, Oceanside’s quarterback, was instrumental, throwing three touchdown passes to secure the victory. The final moments of the game were intense, with Cole Gaspar from Oceanside intercepting a potential game-winning pass from Dutch Fork with just nine seconds left, effectively sealing the win for his team.
Across the country, this particular weekend saw at least 16 high school football teams witnessing the end of their lengthy win streaks. For Dutch Fork, the loss to Oceanside Collegiate Academy was their first setback since October 6, 2023, when they last lost to White Knoll, concluding a previous 24-game winning streak.
As nearly 14,000 high school football teams vie for glory each season across the nation, the landscape of high school football is always shifting, with numerous teams consistently maintaining commendable win streaks. As the season continues, all eyes will be on Dutch Fork to see how they rebound from this unexpected setback.
