 Sinclair Cannon dives in for a Yellow Jacket touchdown!! Greer retaliates to every Broome comeback attempt.... The Greer Yellow Jackets shot out of the blocks Friday night with a crisp touchdown drive on their first possesion, and got a touchdown from it's defense moments later, and kept Broome at arms length the rest of the night in an impressive 43-21 victory at Greer's Dooley Field. A nice crowd assembled to see the #7 ranked Jackets against the #5 rated Centurians on a cool, football-type night. After shutting down the high powered Broome offense after a first down, the Jackets drove it quickly down the field, mixing it up perhaps as well as it has all year with a variety of sets, play calls, and personnel that would leave a defensive coordinator scratching his head. Durrell Burnett took it in for the score from 2 yards out, and Collier Smith's extra point made it 7-0. On the next Broome series, Broome quarterback Brett Storey, who entered the game with over 1500 yards passing in just seven games, was pressured as he threw and big Cornelious Ballenger on the defensive line picked off the pass and rumbled 19 yards for a touchdown. Smith's extra point made it 14-0. Later, Sinclair Cannon, who had over 250 yards rushing, scored from 30 yards out to make it 21-0, as the defense stifled the potent Broome attack the entire first half. But as the 2nd half started, the Centurians got the break they needed, as their pooch kickoff was fumbled and recovered by Broome at the Greer 37. After a 34 yard pass play to the one, Story sneaked it in to put Broome on the board at 21-7. But Greer responded. Cannon marched the Jackets downfield almost exclusively on the ground, as he scored on a 1 yard sneak of his own to make it 27-7. Not giving up, and with better pass protection in the half, Broome raced downfield and crept closer again with a 31 yard T.D. pass from Storey to Josh Hodge and the lead was down to 27-14. Broome's punch though, was taken and countered once more, as another impressive drive was capped off with a 21 yard Cannon scamper made it 33-14, and Josh Williams quarterbacked the two point conversion and called his own number on the option play to make it 35-14. Once again, Broome tried to get up with another score, this one another Storey to Hodge hookup from 23 yards and it was a 14 point game again at 35-21. But with eight minutes to play, Coach Perry inserted Josh Williams again at quarterback, and the junior signal caller methodicly drove the Jackets down the field, eating up nearly five minutes off the clock, as Durrell Burnett scored from 14 yards out. A planned fake and two point conversion was taken in by Williams again to make the final score, Greer 43 Broome 21. The Yellow Jackets improve to 6-2 on the season and 2-1 in Conference III 3-A. The Poinsett Grocery players of the game were Sinclair Cannon with his gaudy rushing totals for the offensive award, while Cornelious Ballenger gets the nod on defense, as his interception and score sure gave Greer some big early momentum. Greer once again takes the field next Friday night for what is now being called "Jacket Bowl IV" as Union comes to town, in a rematch of the last three Upper State Championship games. Even though there might not neccesarily be a title on the line, our Yellow Jackets would like nothing better than to break through against theirs, as both teams try to stay alive in their chase of Newberry for the conference championship. It was a good night at Dooley Field. Let's get set for a great one coming up!! Greer-Broome photos from Greenville Online.......... Greer turns to rushing game.......Go Upstate...
