It was 40 years ago that Henry Aaron taught the world how to play in style.
Not many teams have been able to hang with the Eastside girls’ soccer team this season, but the Lady Eagles got all they could handle from cross-town rival Riverside last week.
Eastside managed a 1-0 victory over the Warriors, moving its overall record to an impressive 16-1 on the year.
The Eastside boys’ soccer team continued its perfect season last week, earning wins over Blue Ridge and rival Riverside.
Despite a double-digit blowout win over the Tigers, the Eagles were brought back down to earth in a narrow 2-0 victory over the Warriors.
Three early runs would be the difference for Blue Ridge, as it escaped with a 3-2 win over Riverside Monday afternoon.
The game was part of a spring break tournament that saw four area teams compete outside of region play.
All three Tiger runs came in the top of the second inning.
Runners from around the Upstate and beyond descended upon Greenville for Goodwill’s bi-annual mud run, featuring a treacherous course with 30 obstacles.
The event drew quite the crowd, officials said.
The Yellow Jacket baseball team fell behind early in its 14-2 loss to Wade Hampton on Monday, but coach Bob Massullo said he remains confident in how his team has performed as of late.
The Generals used several big hits to pile on the runs early, causing the game to be stopped in the fifth inning in conjunction with the “10-run rule.”
Greer Middle College senior Samantha Hofmann will run cross country for North Greenville next season, signing a recent letter of intent with the school.
Hofmann said choosing the Crusaders was an easy decision to make.
The Byrnes softball team is continuing to dominate on the diamond, knocking off Gaffney for a second time last week.
With the win, the Rebels are now 15-3 on the year.
“I was happy with how we played,” Byrnes coach Brandi Aiken said. “Last time we only won 3-0 so I was happy to see us put up a few more runs.”
