The Vikings season opener is at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, against No. 2 Northwestern at Doc Davis Field at Viking Stadium on the campus of Spartanburg High School. The following week, the Vikings travel to the Midlands to face top-ranked Dutch Fork. Kickoff in Irmo is also at 7:30.
The contest against the Silver Foxes will be a revenge game of sorts. Dutch Fork eliminated Spartan High in the third round of the South Carolina AAAAA playoffs last season with a 24-0 shutout win.
The Class AAAAA, Region 2 opener is Sept. 19 on the road against Greenville County opponent Eastside in Taylors.
