I’ve been disappointed in our (Greer High) fans. It’s a shame when you have a home game and TR has more fans there than we did. I just don’t understand it. We need to get behind these kids right now—win, lose or draw.

Johnny Worthy set a single-game record with two blocked punts while Chauncy Haney totaled 17 tackles during North Greenville’s 42-21 loss to West Georgia on Saturday night in Younts Stadium.

The Eagles didn’t get off to the most ideal start in region play last Friday night.

Eastside had its opening kickoff returned for a touchdown, and Andre Woolcock’s one-loss team knew instantly they were in a dog fight.

It took a few minutes, but when the Blue Ridge offense got going Friday night, there was no stopping it.

The Tigers improved to 3-3 on the year with a 49-13 region win over Berea on the road.

Greer laid its first gridiron goose egg in ten years Friday night. The Yellow Jackets’ big playmakers had left the building (not of their own accord), and the result was Greenville shutting out Greer, 16-0 in the key Region II, AAAA opener at Dooley Field. It was the first time Greer had failed to score since losing to Union in 2009.

A tough Homecoming game is almost unheard-of, but that is what’s on tap for Friday night when Greer High welcomes old grads and Travelers Rest to Dooley Field, where the Yellow Jackets are winless this season.

The Rebels held the visiting Riverside Warriors scores last Friday during a 54-0 homecoming win at Nixon Field.

With the win, Byrnes improves to 6-0 while Riverside drops to 0-6.

North Greenville overcame an 11 point deficit in the fourth quarter, as Matt Gravel’s field goal with 16 seconds left on the clock handed North Greenville a 22-19 win over 25th ranked West Alabama.
