<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>CLOVER | Dorman began their run towards the 5A state championship with what's been helping them roll all year: [player_tooltip player_id='262701' first='Demarius' last='Foster'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first quarter was mostly a defensive battle as Clover's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='997351' first='Jayden' last='Bryant'] </strong>sacked <strong>Mitchell Powell </strong>on the opening series before Dorman's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1144090' first='Brannon' last='Teamer'] </strong>picked off <strong>Jaylon Hoover</strong>'s deep ball attempt intended for Dion Brown. But the key for the Cavaliers was when they made a switch at quarterback to <strong>David Sorensen, </strong>which sparked them for a huge second quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The momentum really shifted towards the visitors from Spartanburg as <strong>Jonathan Frazier </strong>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. <strong>Emmanuel Lopez </strong>knocked through a 35-yard field goal to increase the Dorman lead to 23-0 at halftime.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clover would make it interesting to begin the third quarter as <strong>DeMarco Evans </strong>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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The scoring would be capped off by a 40-yard TD run from Foster with 2:33 to play in the third quarter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
