SEP 29, 2012

Quez Nesbitt ran for 250 yards and scored three touchdowns in Greer's win over Eastside.

D’Anta Fleming produced a game worthy of a season highlight film and Quez Nesbitt may have to add some digital space to his.

Fleming, a senior Greer High School wide receiver and defensive back, scored on two touchdown passes – 23 and 37 yards – added another TD on a 53-yard punt return and intercepted two passes, one in each half tonight in a 49-7 Peach Blossom Conference win at Eastside.

Tonight’s Greer at Eastside Region II-3A football game will be a numbers cruncher.

Quez Nesbitt needs 25 yards to reach the 1,000-yard rushing mark in this season’s sixth game. One touchdown will give him enough points to accumulate over 100. It’s not hard to imagine that Nesbitt will achieve both of those feats early in the game.

SEP 21, 2012

Greer comes home to Dooley Field in a most unusual position. The Yellow Jackets are looking at the region standings from the bottom up – four teams won and four lost in the Peach Blossom Conference 3A opening week.

TRAVELERS REST (2-2) AT GREER (2-2)

Kickoff 7:30 p.m.

Last week: Greer lost its Peach Blossom Conference 3A opener to rival Greenville, 24-21. In a game of inches, Greer failed on a field goal attempt, had perfect coverage on Greenville’s winning football catch only to see it grabbed away with 1:04 remaining in the game, and was called for the unusual penalty for aiding Brook Chapman across the goal line that cost a touchdown. Chapman, it should be pointed out, is the one usually carry opponents across the goal line. Greenville’s late score was set up by quarterback Clark Scolamiero who zigged and zagged for valuable yardage in the fourth quarter until he needed to deliver the TD pass.

Brent Waters cut 13 second off his previous best time in the 400 freestyle during Tuesday's final regular season meet. The Greer standout will be chasing a team record in next week's Region swim event.

Brent Waters had a superb swim cutting 13 seconds off his 400 freestyle best time. That gives Waters an opportunity to break the six-year Greer record at the regional meet.
