Blue Ridge’s feisty Tigers made the mistake of stirring up a nest of Yellow Jackets. That led to the Tigers getting swarmed in a 63-6 landslide at Dooley Field in the regular season finale for both teams.

A seven-touchdown explosion from Rebel quarterback Lawrence Scott led Byrnes to a 55-21 victory over Boiling Springs last Thursday.

The win sealed a first-round home playoff game for the Rebels, who finish the season 8-2 overall and 6-1 in region play.

Greer High football is in a familiar place entering November. The Yellow Jackets are preparing for the playoffs for the 13th. time in Will Young’s 14-year tenure as head coach.

Greenville outlasted Eastside last Thursday, securing a second-place finish in the region and a home playoff game in round one of the Class AAAA playoffs.

The Eagles finish third after the loss, locking up a No. 3 seed in the playoffs and a road playoff game.

The Warriors will finish the season winless once again, falling to Dorman 56-25 last Friday night at The Reservation.

It is the third winless season in the last five years for Riverside, which has won just five games in the last three seasons.

The Blue Ridge girl’s golf team will make its second straight appearance at the state tournament with a third-place finish at Upper State last week. The team includes four all-region selections: Athena Dotsikas (the team’s only senior), Maggie Poole, Raquel Fowler and Hailey Rainey.

North Greenville’s senior day was spoiled by West Florida last Saturday as the Crusaders fell 26-10 at home.
