On March 13, Byrnes Lady Rebels’ lacrosse finally climbed a mountain they’d been unable to conquer since the team’s inception.

With a 15-9 win, the Lady Rebels defeated Riverside for the first time in program history.

Shoot early, shoot often.

That was the main piece of tactical advice Eastside soccer coach Stephen Wood gave to his players Friday night. If the glowing ‘7’ on the scoreboard at the end of the game was any indication, his advice worked.

Blue Ridge softball scored some valuable experience at the weekend’s Lady Rebel Invitational. The Lady Tigers played some of the toughest competition in the state, including Berkeley, Union, and Legion Collegiate.

When players do the little things right, Blue Ridge girls head basketball coach Alex Smith said the game of basketball becomes just that: a game.

The Eastside Eagles baseball took a trip to Columbia on March 1, with state representative Bobby J. Cox inviting the team to commemorate last season’s state championship.

After Riverside found themselves in a 2-0 first-inning hole, Coach Michael Pettit wondered if he’d bitten off more than he could chew.

“I’m sitting in the dugout going ‘oh, boy,’” Pettit said. “‘Maybe this isn’t going to go how it played out in my head.’”

The City of Greer Recreation Programs has teamed with ABF Skate Lessons to offer a new round of skateboard lessons at Victor Park.
