Dakereon Joyner’s season might not have ended like he wanted, but the Fort Dorchester quarterback picked up a nice consolation prize Thursday night.
The South Carolina commit was named the Palmetto Champions Back of the Year by the S.C. Football Coaches Association.
“I am very grateful for this award,” Joyner said. “I couldn’t do it without my teammates and coaches. I’m very humbled and thankful. And of course, we lost this Friday, but when one chapter closes, the next opens. I’m ready to go on with my life and move on.”
Dutch Fork ended Joyner and Fort Dorchester’s season, 24-14, Friday in the Class 5A Lower State championship.
