The Perfect Birthday Present
For Madison Garrido, revenge is a dish best served cold.
And on this occasion, perhaps with a side of birthday cake.

Not long ago, Jack Pfister found himself looking at an old photo of himself. It was from his freshman year playing basketball at Greer Middle College.
The now-senior center shook his head as he admired it.
“I was so thin back then,” Pfister said. “I looked like a twig.”
Leaving Zikira Henderson open might not be the smartest idea.
Fountain Inn learned that quickly in Saturday afternoon’s second-round Class 3-A playoff game, as Blue Ridge’s star senior torched the Fury for 32 points on seven made three-pointers.
Henderson led the Lady Tigers to a 67-55 win.
With a 57-47 win over Westside on Saturday night, Riverside clinched a trip to the upper state semifinals for the first time since 2021.
Senior Julen Iturbe led the way with 15 points and 10 rebounds. His size and versatility proved too much for the Rams to handle.
Of the 11 Greer-area teams that made the playoffs this season, six are still dancing after the first two games. Here’s the schedule for the third round:
BOYS
Feb. 20

CRUSADER CORNER
North Greenville wrapped up indoor season on Monday afternoon with a fourth-place finish at the Conference Carolinas Championships at JDL Fast Track.
Greer head coach Devin Liferidge knows the Jackets sometimes don’t make it easy on themselves.
But somehow, they always find a way to make it work.
Cole Bellinger is a senior multi-faceted athlete for the Greer Yellow Jackets baseball team. Bellinger maintained a .441 batting average last season for Greer and signed last week to continue his baseball career at Lander next year. He spoke to The Greer Citizen about his favorite career moments and plans for the future.
In Wednesday night’s upper state championship match, Eastside wrestling dominated Greenwood from the start in a convincing 57-12 victory. The Iron Eagles advanced to Saturday’s state championship with the win.
Halfway through the second quarter of Tuesday’s region title game against Landrum, GMC center Jack Pfister motioned to the bench. He needed to come out of the game, and he needed to come out now.
Pfister wasn’t injured. He wasn’t gassed and seeking a quick breather. He wasn’t in foul trouble, either.
