Blue Ridge benefitted from a strategic move that backfired on Greer Friday night that earned the Tigers a one-third share of the Region II-AAA championship.
While the win was satisfying for Blue Ridge to beat its rival 10-9 and deny No. 8 ranked Greer the outright region championship, the Tigers find themselves as the third seed in the first round of the state playoffs beginning next week but must play on the road at Belton-Honea Path.
Blue Ridge held Greer to its lowest total yardage in any game played this season. Part of that success was holding Quez Nesbitt in check for only 79 yards. Nesbitt did not score.
Despite the loss Greer earned the Region II-AAA No. 1 seed and has home-field advantage through the first four weeks of the playoffs.
Greer, Greenville and Blue Ridge tied for the Region II-AAA championship with 6-1 records. Greer earned the No. 1 seed on points differential over Blue Ridge (vs. Greenville; Greenville earned the No. 2 seed with its head-to-head in over Blue Ridge; which put Blue Ridge as the No. 3 seed.
Greer will play all its games at Dooley Field. The 3A state championship will be played at Williams Brice Stadium on Dec 7.
Any way Greer beats Blue Ridge Friday night will result in the Yellow Jackets winning the Region II-AAA championship and securing home field advantage through the Upper State playoffs.
The point system will be used if Blue Ridge beats Greer. Greenville can be involved with a win over Eastside. The tiebreaker will give the team with the fewest defensive points among the three the championship.
