The 8-11 Riverside Warriors upset the 17-3 Greer Yellow Jackets 70-69 in triple overtime Tuesday night.
Greer appeared to have control late in the 4th quarter, but Riverside turned it up a notch.
Eastside won Friday’s home conference game against Riverside by a score of 69-52 to gain a valuable conference win.
Eastside had a dominant second and third quarter on their way to the win over the Warriors.
“I’ll give Eastside credit,” said Riverside Coach Allen Arnold. “They had a great game plan and executed it very well.”
North Greenville University’s football program will move to Conference Carolinas in 2025. The transition means all 20 NGU athletic teams will be aligned in one NCAA Division II conference.
Byrnes welcomed Gaffney to Duncan Tuesday night for a region matchup.
For the Rebels, it would be a night to honor their seniors.
For the seniors, it would be a great night as they went on to defeat Gaffney 46-29.
If you have won 31 region titles in a row, you can say with confidence that you have achieved the status of being a dynasty.
To have dominated any sport for that period of time, says a lot about the coaching, conditioning and belief system of an organization.
