For The Greer Citizen

Defensive Player of the Week

The Greer Citizen/Owens Insurance Players of Week 1 were honored during last week's Greer Touchdown Club.

The Warriors dug themselves out of a hole last Thursday night, shaking off a slow start to top Blue Ridge on the road, 47-36.

With only two minutes ticking off the game clock, the Tigers had already scored twice.

Greer High School will induct six new members into its athletic hall of fame this Friday night at Dooley Field.

Those earning the honor include: Dyshia Parks (class of 2011), Jordan Mathis (2011), Chris Dean (2010), Joseph Neely (2011), Derek DeYoung (2002), Pat Watson (2001) and Gary Vaughn (honorary member).

Greer’s defense came of age Friday night to slam the door on Clinton and preserve the Yellow Jackets first win of the season, a near cliffhanger before winding up at 21-7 at Dooley Field.
