Not long ago, Coy Barnett thought basketball might be his sport.
It didn’t take long to figure out that wasn’t the case.
“I was playing basketball for church league one time, but I kept on tackling the other kids,” said Barnett. “My parents gave me a solution and asked ‘Do you want to try wrestling?’”
The Riverside Lady Warriors aren’t shy about how they feel. Their warmup shirts before Saturday’s state championship served as proof.
On the front of the solid black shirts: The Riverside ‘R’ logo.
On the back: A massive red and white target. It held a meaning.
Byrnes’ historic 2023-24 season didn’t get its perfect ending.
With a 67-48 loss to Lexington in the Class 5-A state championship, the Runnin’ Rebels finished one win shy of their first state title since 2016.
Beating the top-ranked team in the state isn’t easy. It’s even harder when that team is up by 12 before the first quarter is halfway over.
Two months ago, Riverside basketball took a nightmarish Florida trip.
The Warriors were flying high before the trip to play in a Sunshine State tournament—their record was 10-1. They went down to Florida soaring.
They left dejected.
The 2023-24 season saw unprecedented success for our Greer-area basketball teams.
Eleven of our 12 area teams made playoff appearances.
Nine of our 12 teams won a playoff game, while three of those teams advanced to play for a state championship.
In a historic year for Greer-area basketball, several stars led the way.
