John Boggs: father, husband, and football coach.

He’s been the head football coach at Blue Ridge High School for one football season, and he started his second season on the night of August 19.

In the first game that finally feels like fall, Blue Ridge slaughtered Landrum High School 53-21. In the win against Landrum, Tucker Massey went 11/14 with 136 yards, 170 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

To begin the game, Blue Ridge scored within a couple minutes to put them ahead.

Blue Ridge’s Isaiah Chapman was named The Greer Citizen/Owens Insurance Lineman of Week 4. Pictured are: Chris Crist (Owens Insurance), Coach John Boggs, Chapman, and Chad Hannon (Owens Insurance).

For Greer Citizen

It was beautiful and blustery as the The Lions and Warriors JV teams squared off Thursday night, which ended in a 47-6 Daniel win.

Riverside was without their Quarterback/Kicker Jacob Medlin, who suffered a sprained knee which Coach Rashaad Jackson said was not severe.

The Greer Citizen/Owens Insurance Players of Week 3 were recognized during last week's Greer Touchdown Club meeting. They were: Eastside’s Tre Brown, Defense, and Kalvin Banks, Offense; and Byrnes High’s Chris Foster, Lineman.

The touchdowns were dead even, but Boiling Springs blew up Greer’s extra point game plan to edge the Yellow Jackets 27-25 at Dooley Field on Friday night.

The loss overshadowed stellar efforts of Chris Hall and Bryce Foster who kept Greer in the game despite a fifth straight week of failing to take advantage of scoring opportunities.

Six foot four Wyatt Posey is a game changer for the Eastside Eagles.

James F. Byrnes took on the Wren Hurricanes this past Friday night in Powdersville and Head Coach Reggie Shaw’s son and quarterback, Colby Shaw, played an outstanding passing game completing 21 of 29 passes for 250 yards.
