COLUMBIA, S.C. — The A.C. Flora High School football team is having to go into a COVID-19 quarantine just days after winning the state championship.
Richland School District One officials confirmed to News19 that a member of the coaching staff tested positive Sunday for the virus. That's led to a total of 80 players and coaches having to quarantine as a precaution.
The Falcons won their first state title in program history Saturday night by defeating North Myrtle Beach 42-7 at Benedict's Charlie W. Johnson Stadium. The win was also the first football championship by a Richland School District One team in 50 years.
