South Carolina football commits Doty, Lloyd add to TD totals Friday night

After a week off because of Hurricane Dorian, South Carolina commit Luke Doty and Myrtle Beach returned to action Friday against Socastee.

Doty was 12-of-19 for 134 yards and two touchdowns as Myrtle Beach defeated Socastee, 37-0. Both of Doty’s TD passes came to JJ Jones, who was playing in his first game of the season.

In two games this season, Doty has thrown 260 yards and four TDs. He also has rushed for one.

But Doty didn’t play much in the second half of either game. Myrtle Beach’s schedule gets tougher this week when Seahawks play Carolina Forest, which has East Carolina quarterback commit Mason Garcia.

Myrtle Beach is ranked No. in Class 4A.
