Practice holds the key to Greer High’s football season which continues Friday night with a trip to Woodruff. After that, the Yellow Jackets plunge into region play which will determine which teams make the post-season playoffs.
The annual Jacket Bowl once again proved why it is not to be missed.
The battle between Greer and Union came down to a two-point conversion attempt in the closing seconds, and Greer escaped by the narrowest of margins to claim a 34-33 win.
It was a “sloppy” game, but the result was the same for the undefeated Warriors, who topped Southside 23-0 on Friday night.
Multiple turnovers and persistent rain forced Riverside to get creative, but Matt Rochester said his defense was up to the task, forcing the shutout.
The Tigers dug themselves into a 43-0 halftime hole Friday night against Clinton, ultimately falling 49-7 in the non-region contest.
Players of Week 3 were: Alex Riddle (RHS Offense); Clay Willoughby (RHS Defense); and Noah McKinney (BHS Lineman).
