The Greer Yellow Jackets got back in the winning way tonight with a convincing 60-8 victory over the Chesnee Eagles. On the opening drive Josh Williams ran it in from 10 yards out to give the Jackets a 6-0 lead, and after the ensuing kickoff was fumbled by the Eagles and recovered by Alonzo Booker, Williams caught a 29 yard touchdown pass from Sinclair Cannon. On the play, Williams pitched it back to Cannon on the reverse, who threw a strike back to Williams at the goal line. That made it 12-0 before Chesnee could run a play. On the next series, the Eagles did get two plays off, before Josh Buckley srtipped the ball, and returned it 22 yards for a 3rd Greer TD to make it 19-0. Cannon added a one yard run from the tailback spot to make it 26-0, and with the first quarter less than half gone, the Jackets were cruising. Two more touchdowns, one by Carlos Bennett and another by Josh Williams, made it 40-0. Chesnee got on the board midway through the 2nd quarter with a 60 yard drive capped off by a 3 yard run and two point conversion. On Greer's first play from scrimmage in the 2nd half, Williams hit Sergio Gilliam on the right sideline, and Sergio made a spectacular run through traffic and skirting the sideline for a 50 yard score, and after another good three and out series by the defense, Carlos Bennett, once again on the first play of the drive took the hand off and went 54 yards through the tackles for the score. Collier Smith's 6th extra point of the night made it 60-8. After that, Coach Perry & the staff were able to play a lot of new players and get them in some game experience. With the final result not in doubt and a driving rainstorm over the last few minutes of the game, the officials ran the clock down by several minutes. A good decision, especially since the field was becoming unplayable and lightning started flashing all about. A great start and a solid finish in a game that was good for the Jackets to get back in the win colunm. Greer improves to 2-1 on the season, and will travel to take on the Berea Bulldogs on September 20 in Berea. As usual, we hope to see you there, and bring along your headsets. If you can't make it, we'll bring it to you on WPJM 800-AM. Photo Gallery Greer-Chesnee game from G-News G News- Yellow Jackets Sting Eagles........
