The Eastside football team made short work of Woodmont during its home opener last Friday night.

The Eagles cruised to a 41-7 win, thanks to five touchdowns from quarterback Jordan Morgan.

Eastside got on the board early as Morgan completed the first of his touchdown passes to Payton Mangrum for a 14-yard score.

Greer’s 2017 football team has come full circle in three weeks to kick off the season against 5-A powerhouse Westside on Friday night in Anderson.

The Blue Ridge Tigers will open their 2017 campaign at home this Friday against a team that went 11-2 last fall.

Belton-Honea Path hasn’t given up a point during the preseason, which is cause for concern for Blue Ridge head coach Shane Clark.

The Byrnes football team will open its season at home this Friday against Myrtle Beach, a team that topped the Rebels in 2016.

Under new head coach Reggie Shaw, Byrnes is hoping for a return to form this fall, coming off a season that did not yield a playoff appearance for the first time in more than a decade.

The Riverside football team is hoping to start this season the same way it started last season: with a win over Travelers Rest.

The Warriors will hit the road in Week 0 to take on the Devildogs, and head coach Phil Smith said his team will need to remain focused.
