All year long, Byrnes baseball has embraced the “underdog” mentality.
Every Friday this season, star pitcher Jake Short sent the statewide baseball power rankings to the team’s group chat. Week after week, despite blazing through their schedule, the Rebels were left off.
It fueled them.
For the third time in the last four years, Riverside girls’ lacrosse is state championship-bound.
The Lady Warriors defeated Christ Church 23-9 on Monday night to clinch their place in the 2024 Class 4-A State Championship.
In Greer’s 1-0 series-clinching win over Riverside on Friday, Cole Bellinger looked nearly unhittable for most of the night.
In his mind, that’s exactly what he is.
Sometimes, bad luck just seems to find you.
A year ago, it found AJ Cammarota at the worst possible time.
Teams might beat Byrnes softball once. They might even get them twice. But no team takes down the Lady Rebels three times in a row.
Not if Kaylee Hannon has anything to say about it.
Behind goals from Lily Zeimer, Becca Lewis and Ava Gensemer, Riverside girls soccer beat Wade Hampton 3-0 on Friday night. With the win, the Lady Warriors clinched second place in 4-A Region 2.
One of Byrnes basketball’s all-time great athletes officially signed to play college basketball on Wednesday.
Kayzzin McDowell—known with the Runnin’ Rebels for his three-point shooting ability and high-flying athleticism—signed to Newberry College with coaches, family and friends by his side.
Madison Thieke stepped up to the plate with last season on her mind.
Last time Riverside’s junior softball star played at Greer, she watched as the Lady Jackets took two straight from her Lady Warriors, stealing the 2023 region championship from right under their noses.
Not again, Thieke said.

He has a batting average of .300 and three home runs on the year. Fusetti spoke about his favorite memories as an Eagle and mulling his plans for the future.
Blue Ridge baseball’s mantra is “stay hungry,” and if the team’s performance in region play this season is any indication, the Tigers have taken it to heart.
With 16-1 and 17-0 wins over Carolina last week, the Tigers wrapped up their second straight 3-A Region 3 title—outscoring region opponents 76-7 along the way.
