Gaffney, one of the top football programs in South Carolina, has set its 2025 schedule.

The Indians are coming off a 10-2 season that saw them reach the 5-A Division 2 state semifinals where they fell to eventual champion Northwestern. Quarterback Jayvon Gilmore, an Arkansas commit, leads a talented roster.

Even before the season begins, the Indians will host a jamboree on Aug. 15 and their opponent is three-time defending state champion Dutch Fork, which won the 5-A Division 1 title last year.

And then the Indians open the season against Charlotte power Independence, a team that was 10-2 in 2024.
