‘I enjoyed it all.’ Hall of Fame Midlands basketball coach headed to retirement

Faye Norris, one of the state’s top girls basketball coaches, is retiring after more than 30 years in the sport.

Norris has been at Dutch Fork High School since 2008 and led the Silver Foxes to three straight Class 4A state championships from 2012-14. She also coached McDonald’s All-American Alaina Coates, who was part of two of those championship teams before going to play at South Carolina.

Dutch Fork went 86-10 over those three seasons, including a 29-0 record in 2012-13.

“I enjoyed it all,” Norris told The State. “As a teacher-coach, you touch athletes’ lives and the lives of the students you have taught. I will genuinely miss being at Dutch Fork High School.”

Norris’ teams appeared in seven state semifinal games and won 12 region championships.

Dutch Fork went 14-10 this season and advanced to the second round of the Class 5A playoffs.

Before Dutch Fork, Norris also coached at North Augusta. She still lives in the Augusta area and said driving back and forth to Irmo each day took a toll on her through the years.

“This year I knew it was time to get off the long road,” Norris said. “God has blessed me to travel back and forth for 15 years. I will miss Dutch Fork overall, from my players to the parents, guardians, classroom students to my coworkers, and my administration to the school district.”

“My physical education department friends are phenomenal. I will miss the work we shared. Coaching, we are all coaches in life. Coaching will always be a part of my life. Records are good to know, yet improving lives is the best.”

Norris has won more than 500 games in her career and was inducted into the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2019. She also has been the head coach in the Carolinas Classic and North-South basketball all-star games

As a player, Norris also had a distinguished career at Aiken High and then in college at USC Aiken. She helped the Green Hornets to state championship in 1975 and played at USC Aiken, where she was the school’s first All-American in 1979 and the only women’s basketball player to have her jersey retired.

Dutch Fork is the fifth basketball opening in the Midlands so far. Blythewood and Northside Christian already have filled their girls basketball coaching vacancies.

Dutch Fork Silver Foxes in 2022 football state championship: How they got there

A look at how Dutch Fork got to this year’s Class 5A high school football state championship game. The Silver Foxes play Fort Dorchester in the title game at noon Saturday at Benedict College’s Charlie W. Johnson Stadium.

Dutch Fork opened in 1992 and has had two head football coaches in its history: Bill Kimrey and Tom Knotts. Prior to Knotts’ arrival in 2010, the Silver Foxes made one trip to the Lower State championship in 2006 and lost to Irmo. In that playoff run, Dutch Fork beat a Summerville team that featured future NFL star A.J. Green.

Since 2010, the Silver Foxes have been one of the most dominant programs in the Carolinas. They are playing in their 10th state title game in the past 11 seasons. Dutch Fork won a state-record five-straight Class 5A championships from 2016-20. The Silver Foxes had a 62-game unbeaten streak during that span before they lost to Gaffney in the state championship game last season. Dutch Fork has finished nationally ranked on several occasions over the past decade.

Some of the more notable Dutch Fork football alumni include Erik Kimrey (player at USC, coach at Hammond, USC and Baylor School, Tenn.); the late Mike Gasparato (Penn State); 2014 South Carolina Mr. Football Matt Colburn (Wake Forest/XFL/NFL); Chad Geter (Gardner Webb/CFL); Tyler Bass (kicker with Buffalo Bills); Bryce Thompson (Tennessee/NFL); Ty Olenchuk (Clemson); 2019 Mr. Football finalist Jalin Hyatt (Tennessee); and Will Taylor (Clemson baseball/football).

Tom Knotts was hired at Dutch Fork in January 2010, and the Silver Foxes have played for 10 state championships in his 13 seasons. Dutch Fork won the school’s first state title in 2013 and will go for its seventh title Saturday. If Knotts earns that seventh title, he would tie Dillon’s Jackie Hayes and Abbeville’s Jamie Nickles for third-most in South Carolina. Woodruff’s W.L. Varner and Summerville’s John McKissick are tied at No. 1 with 10 titles. Knotts’ record is 154-23-1 at Dutch Fork.

Prior to Dutch Fork, he coached at West Charlotte, Harding and Independence high schools in North Carolina, winning 296 games and seven championships in that state. Six of Knotts’ seven N.C. state titles came at Independence, which had a 109-game winning streak. Knotts left for one year during the streak and was an assistant at Duke before going back to Independence.

PELZER, S.C. (WSPA) – In southern Greenville County, the Fork Shoals community is a hidden gem filled with various rural activities for families, couples, or a solo trip.

City Scape Winery co-owners Debra and Josh Jones said their vineyard isn’t a stuffy, adult only type of establishment for wine snobs.

“Our dress code is…wear clothes! It’s really important to wear clothes,”Debra Jones joked.

“It doesn’t matter if: they just went on a hike, or if they have two kids with them or if they just had a baby, or if they have two dogs with them, or they’re out on a date. We kinda have a different set up for each person and we want to cater to everybody’s needs,” Josh Jones explained.

You’re invited to come and learn how to enjoy wine and the relaxing atmosphere. The Jones added that people also end up enjoying some of the various other vineyard features like Pinot the Pig.

Pinot is City Scape’s mascot, the mini pig has learned how to do it all Debra Jones explained.

“He does tricks. He sits. He spins. He’s just a lot of fun,” Debra Jones said.

Additionally, there are options to schedule online vineyard and winery tours, attend a weekend wine tasting, and see other farm animals which are all set up for safety and fun the whole family can enjoy.

“We’re really set up well for this, because we have 12 acres here. So, we can spread tables all over the place,” Josh Jones explained.

Directly across from some of the vines sits a shaded patio with tables spaced 6 feet apart, and 4 chairs per table. However, Debra said, some groups of six can be accommodated on the patio with chairs and cushions along the patio’s edge.

Additionally, weekend wine tastings are held on the patio, and in the field, where tables are spaced 10 feet apart and all the servers are 6 feet apart. Visitors can bring chairs to create their own tasting area in the field.

Customers are are also asked to wear a mask in the winery.

City Scape has some new sanitation measures, that end up being a win for wine tasters.

“We actually decided to include the wine glass in the tasting. So, each person that comes out here and does a wine tasting actually gets to take home their City Scape wine glass,” Josh Jones said. “That way our servers aren’t having to deal with 200 used wine glasses at the end of the day.”

The Jones have also continued another ongoing sanitation effort, the Bottle Recycling Initiative. Customers who’ve purchased a City Scape wine are encouraged, after they’ve enjoyed the wine, to rinse out the bottle and bring it back to the vineyard. The bottles will be deep cleaned and then refilled with wine to be sold again and the customer gets a dollar off their next purchase.

“We saved almost 20,000 bottles from landfills last year,” Josh Jones said.

City Scape offers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to wet your whistle, but at some point you might get a little hungry, and just down the way is a local community hub.

The Yum Yum Snack Shop, for the last eight years, has given visitors first hand knowledge, from owner Carol Gilley, on some of her homemade food must-tries.

“I would go with a Hello Dolly, a lemon square. People tend to love our made from scratch brownies. They’re kinda crunchy, kinda chewy, lots of chocolate,” Gilley said.

In addition to feeding the body, you can feed your mind with some local Fork Shoals history that’s hung up or displayed prominently around the business from community members.

“They have brought in their spindles, and whatever else that have used when they were working in the mills, and they love to see that a piece of history has been revived again,”Gilley.

She added that masks are mandatory at the Yum Yum Snack Shop, and social distancing is arranged through indoor seating. There’s also a drive thru window, as well as, outdoor seating available.

Also outside is a Secret Garden where visitors can set off on a scavenger hunt. Plus, on a good day, you might be able to catch a game of hopscotch.

“Have a little something good to eat, something good to drink. But also to have a lot of community spirit,” Gilley said.

The Yum Yum Snack Shop has become a community hang out over the years, Gilley explained. Before the pandemic, local musicians would come in on Mondays and have a jam session. However, Gilley said, Monday’s music is on pause, but the shop has stepped in to help the community in others ways, for example hosting blood drives.

For more educational value, Gilley suggested visitors head to the Recycled Reader or Happy Cow Creamery. Both have educational aspects in terms of materials like books and the creamery offers tours. She added that both locations also have live animals that visitors can interact with.

But, if you just want to take a break from it all, Gilley and the Jones family agreed, Ceder Falls Park is the place to go.

Cedar Falls has waterfalls, walking trails and a historic site that are all free and open to the public.
