Tavion Ellerbe was the last player out of the locker room for Byrnes Friday night, as he carried the jersey of his fallen teammate Markell Nesbitt. Nesbitt lost his life during a tragic accident at Lake Lyman earlier this summer. He was honored throughout the game.
Byrnes unloaded the frustrations of an unlikely season opening loss on Greer, crushing the bumbling Yellow Jackets, 45-7, Friday night in Duncan.
Eastside standout Chance Pride led his team to a second-straight win over its rival last Friday night, as the Eagles topped Riverside 34-13.
Pride had three touchdowns in the second half to help his team pull away from the Warriors, which suffered their first loss of the season.
Blue Ridge rebounded from its Week 0 loss in convincing fashion, dominating Landrum during a 29-3 victory on the road.
Led by a stellar performance from defensive back Andy Tate, the Blue Ridge defense picked off three passes and only allowed a little more than 80 Landrum yards during the win.
After two weeks on the road, Blue Ridge will return home this Friday to host Riverside in Week 2 action.
The Tigers are coming off a win over Landrum, while the Warriors are hoping to bounce back from a loss to Eastside.
After a dominating win over Greer in Week 1, the Byrnes football team will hit the road to take on Mallard Creek this Friday night.
The Rebels are 1-1 entering the week, having lost to Myrtle Beach in Week 0.
Last season, nationally ranked Mallard Creek visited Duncan, where the Rebels managed to earn a 31-29 win.
