Denmark-Olar girls beat Green Sea Floyds 55-30, advance in Class A

Denmark-Olar High School’s girls basketball team advanced in the SCHSL Class A postseason after a 55-30 victory over Green Sea Floyds on Friday, Feb. 20, a result listed in national high-school game trackers and captured on MaxPreps. The win was recorded as part of the 2026 South Carolina Girls Basketball State Championships: SCHSL Class A.

MaxPreps’ coverage framed the Feb. 20 game as a continuation of a long February run for the Vikings; a Feb. 21 recap carried the headline "Basketball Recap: Denmark-Olar Beats Green Sea Floyds for Their 12th Straight Win." That run included a 79-15 win over Cross High School on Monday, Feb. 16, which MaxPreps listed as "Basketball Recap: Denmark-Olar Beats Cross for Their 11th Straight Win."

The Vikings’ postseason path shifted three days after the Green Sea Floyds win. On Monday, Feb. 23, MaxPreps lists a Tournament Game in the SCHSL Class A in which Denmark-Olar fell narrowly to Latta, 32-33, a loss summarized under the MaxPreps headline "Basketball Recap: Denmark-Olar's Luck Takes a Turn for the Worse." The Feb. 23 entry appears in MaxPreps’ tournament game results for the state championships.

A separate WRDW/WAGT report places Denmark-Olar in Florence for the SCHSL Class A Lower State Championship against Military Magnet Academy. WRDW summarized that contest this way: "Denmark-Olar girls couldn’t ignite their offense against a loaded Military Magnet team, they were outscored 29 to 17 in the opening half and weren’t able to recover. The Lady Vikings season ends just short of the state final, 57-36." The WRDW excerpt identifies Florence, SC, as the location but does not provide a date in the supplied text.

High School Sports Report profiling of Military Magnet supplies context for the Florence opponent. HSSR lists Military Magnet as top ranked at 20-5, 7-0 "As of Feb., 25" and notes head coach Nathaniel Taylor "led his teams to three straight state titles in 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23." HSSR details roster contributions, including: "Senior guard prospect Dream Watson (yes, she is finally a senior) leads the team with 14.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.1 steals, and 5.7 assists a game"; six-foot 8th grader Lauren Willis at 7.5 rebounds and 10.1 points a game; senior wing Sabri Mitchell at 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds a game; and junior guard/forward Danariyah Williams at 10.3 points and seven rebounds a game. HSSR also states, "Military Magnet is averaging 25 steals a game."

The HSSR excerpt lists the Top 10 "As of Feb., 25" with Military Magnet first and Denmark-Olar next, followed by: 3. Carvers Bay, 4. Bamberg-Ehrhardt, 5. Lee Central, 6. North, 7. Latta, 8. Williston-Elko, 9. HKT and 10. Scott’s Branch. HSSR contact lines included in the supplied material are (843) 553-0264 and hsreport@aol.com, with the organization located in Moncks Corner, SC.

WRDW’s feed package that included the Florence item also contained numerous unrelated headlines in the supplied excerpt, including: "Fox Creek defeated Lorris 70-66, advancing to the SCHSL 3A Lower State Championship Game."; "Fox Creek boys basketball get revenge over Loris; advance to SCHSL 3A Lower State Championship"; "North Augusta defeated Gray Collegiate 62-28, advancing to the SCHSL 4A Lower State..."; and other regional sports and news snippets reproduced in the WRDW feed.

Taken together, the MaxPreps game pages show Denmark-Olar’s Feb. 16 and Feb. 20 wins and a Feb. 23 one-point tournament loss to Latta, while WRDW and HSSR document a separate Lower State Championship meeting with top-ranked Military Magnet that ended 57-36. For readers tracking the Vikings’ postseason, those items establish a mid-February winning streak, a narrow tournament exit to Latta on Feb. 23, and a WRDW-reported Lower State Championship defeat to Military Magnet that ended the Lady Vikings’ run before the state final.
