REFINED
The Gold Standard in Player Development
The Spartanburg Viking Football program is far more than an arena for cultivating highly trained and motivated players. Coach Hodge's REFINED Player Development program is a multi-faceted initiative designed to help players develop lifelong success as committed spouses, parents, friends, citizens, employers, and employees. We believe every person was created to change the world for the better. Our mission is to prepare our young people to lead themselves, their families, and others in a positive, proactive, and loving fashion.
As our Vikings proudly wear the gold helmet to represent their school and community, we are mindful that this great honor must be earned. Just as gold itself must undergo a refinement process to enhance its best and most valuable qualities, we are also striving to help one another to become REFINED!
Varsity Football Staff
The staff at Spartanburg High School is one of the most successful collection of high school coaches in the country. Collectively as coaches and players, the Viking staff has won over 50 state championship games at eight different schools. The Viking staff coaches all three teams: Varsity, JV and Freshman Teams. The Viking staff also coaches the 7th and 8th graders four days a week in the summer, as well as works multiple youth clinics over the course of the year.
Head Football Coach
Mark Hodge
Coach Hodge is entering his 18th season as a head coach and sixth as the leader of the Vikings. During the previous 5 seasons (including two affected by Covid) the Vikings are the winningest program in Spartanburg County, won the most playoff games in the county, were state semifinalist in 2024 and 2021, and a quarterfinalist in 2022. Coach Hodge came from Chapman HS where he led the Panthers to three state championship appearances, winning two, including a perfect 15-0 season in 2019. During one stretch, Coach Hodge led teams won 48 of 50 ball games. Earning Coach Hodge multiple coach of the year awards, including the 2016 South East Regional Coach of the Year for the states of AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, MC, SC & TN, and SC State Coach of the year . Coach Hodge has also been a National Coach of Influence Finalist.
The past 10 seasons, Coach led teams have played for 3 State Championships - winning two, played for 5 Upper State Championships, set the SC state scoring record, averaged 40 points per game, recorded 98 wins, and are 32-6 verses Spartanburg County Schools. Coach Hodge helped lead the North Team (2017 North South Game) and South Carolina (2022 Shrine Bowl) to victory, serving as the defensive coordinator in both games. Coach Hodge also helped Broome win a state championship in 2004 as the defensive coordinator.
Coach Hodge has coached over 80 players who received college football opportunities with roughly half being division 1. Coach Hodge has also coached multiple NFL players including Deebo Samuel, DJ Jones and DJ Moore. He has had three former players play in a Super Bowl.
Coach Hodge credits his successes first to his faith, then his family - wife of 22 years Dana, Caleb -21, Joshua - 17, Ruthie -10, to his players, coaches, staff members and families. He created an implemented the REFINED player development program to best ensure as many life support structures as possible for the student athletes.
