The old adage “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” could apply to Greer High’s football team that still has a long way to go after starting a third season of rebuilding. Correcting tons of mistakes in the season opener is the focus in practice this week as the Yellow Jackets prepare for a road trip to Simpsonville.
In a border battle between two powerhouse programs, Byrnes took down Hough (N.C.) 24-9 in Charlotte on Saturday to begin the season with a statement win.
“We made a lot of mistakes tonight,” said Byrnes head coach Reggie Shaw. “Things that will drive you crazy, a typical first game. But we found a way to win.”
Riverside silenced a packed house at Travelers Rest on Friday night, demolishing the Devildogs 49-7.
The Warriors pressed the gas early. By the end of the first quarter, Riverside led 21-0.
The off-season brought some major changes to Melvin & Dollie Younts Stadium at North Greenville University’s (NGU) Tigerville campus.
NGU recently contracted GEOSurfaces to replace the football turf, which had been in place since the fall semester of 2014.
Call it bad luck. Call it first-game jitters. Call it what Blue Ridge head coach John Boggs called it—“a comedy of errors.”
Call it whatever, but absolutely nothing could go right for the Tigers on Friday night in the first quarter at Chesnee.
Eastside’s 2023 campaign didn’t begin on the high note they were hoping for, as the visiting J.L. Mann Patriots defeated the Eagles 49-0 Friday night.
Collin Williams is an outside linebacker and punter for the Blue Ridge Tigers. Williams moved to the Blue Ridge area from New Bern, NC, before his junior year, and he’s been a key member of the Tiger defense and special teams since.
