No one will be able to blame visitors to the Blue Ridge High football stadium if they get a funny feeling that someone – or something – is watching them.
A new mural on the home-side press box is a closeup of the eyes of a tiger, Blue Ridge’s mascot. The mural was painted on a sheet of aluminum by Chesnee based sign and air-brush artist Robin Caldwell and then attached to the press box.
My Turn - A review of last Friday's Football
AUG 29, 2012
If Friday night was any indication, high school football fans from across the Upstate are in for a cardiac-testing 2012 season.
Week 1 was not for the feint of heart, and that was particularly evident in Greer's 46-45 overtime loss to Seneca at Dooley Field. The third installment in the three-year series between the schools was the first to go to Seneca, which rallied behind a diminutive running back and a no-quit quarterback. That's a familiar formula in Greer, but usually those guys are wearing black and gold.
