AC Flora football team in quarantine days after winning state title

The decision comes after a staff member tested positive for the virus.

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.
