ROCK HILL, S.C. (WBTV) - The kings of 4A in South Carolina have been knocked off their throne.

Defending state champion South Pointe saw its bid to defend its title come to an end with a 22-21 overtime loss at home against Clover in the second round Friday night.

The Stallions came back from down 14-0 to score 14 unanswered points and send the game into overtime.
