Foster ran for 275 yards and four touchdowns as the Cavaliers blasted Clover, 37-7 in the first round of the 5A Upper State Playoffs on Friday night.
The first quarter was mostly a defensive battle as Clover’s Jayden Bryant Jayden Bryant 6'4" | 215 lbs | DL Clover | 2024 State SC sacked Mitchell Powell on the opening series before Dorman’s Brannon Teamer Brannon Teamer 6'2" | 190 lbs | DB Dorman | 2024 State SC picked off Jaylon Hoover‘s deep ball attempt intended for Dion Brown. But the key for the Cavaliers was when they made a switch at quarterback to David Sorensen, which sparked them for a huge second quarter.
Foster ripped off a 20-yard run to end the first quarter before Sorensen put Dorman on the board first from 2 yards out with 11:45 to play in the second quarter. His impressive play continued as he made an unbelievable 23-yard diving catch in the second quarter, leading to a short Sorensen touchdown run to make it 13-0 with 6:19 to play before the half.
The momentum really shifted towards the visitors from Spartanburg as Jonathan Frazier picked off Hoover for the second time on the night. Dorman capitalized immediately with a 39-yard TD pass from Sorensen to Foster to increase the Cavs lead to 20-0 with 5:18 to play before the half. Emmanuel Lopez knocked through a 35-yard field goal to increase the Dorman lead to 23-0 at halftime.
Clover would make it interesting to begin the third quarter as DeMarco Evans punched it in from 1 yard out to cut into Dorman’s lead at 23-7. That hope would be short lived as Dorman went on a 12-play, 84-yard drive, capped off with a 1-yard Sorensen run to go up 37-7 in the third quarter.
The scoring would be capped off by a 40-yard TD run from Foster with 2:33 to play in the third quarter.
