Byrnes’ Shaedon Meadors will play his college football at Appalachian State University. The senior standout, who earned The Greer Citizen’s Player of the Year honors in his final season, made his decision final last week on National Signing Day. “It was just a lot of praying and a lot of thought,” Meadors said.

After a record-breaking season on the gridiron, Greer’s Quez Nesbitt will be looking to continue his football career at the next level.
The senior signed with Georgia Military College last week, and head coach Will Young said it was a huge step.

The Greer Middle boys’ basketball team made things right in the playoffs, avenging a couple of haunting losses in route to a county championship.

The Eagles are peaking at the right time.

Eastside saw 13 of its wrestlers qualify for the individual Upper State tournament during region championships, and the team is currently in the hunt for a state title.

I’ve often heard sports referred to as soap opera for dudes. I don’t know if that’s the most accurate description, but sometimes it gets pretty close.

Greer
The Yellow Jackets bounced back from a heartbreaking loss to Travelers Rest last week, earning wins over Berea and Pickens.
Greer led the top-ranked Devildogs for most of the game, but were unable to seal the deal in the fourth quarter, cementing the 55-51 loss.

More than 10 student athletes from around the area will sign letters of intent to their respective colleges on Wednesday (Feb. 5) as National Signing Day hits Greer.

Byrnes will have at least nine athletes sign while Eastside will have two of its own make commitments.

The Eagles are the early favorites to dominate on the soccer field in 2014.
