The South Carolina high school regular season is complete and the state playoffs will begin on Friday.

With a lot of teams idle, there wasn’t much movement in the poll. But there were a pair of big-time matchups between ranked teams, with No. 2 Dutch Fork topping then No. 5 Irmo by 10 points. Irmo dropped to No. 6 this week and undefeated Hammond School has moved up to No. 5. The only other change this week saw T.L. Hanna join the poll at No. 25.

Here is the complete breakdown of South Carolina’s best, as we see it, after the final week of the South Carolina high school football regular season.
