Greer went for a two-point conversion after its final touchown, was flagged for a penalty on the snap and then failed to convert as the Yellow Jackets lost to Mauldin, 21-20, at the J.L. Mann Jamboree Saturday night.

Emmanuel Kelly, Quez Nesbitt and Dorian Lindsey scored touchdowns and Nick Roberson kicked two extra points for Greer’s scoring.

Greer Head Coach Will Young opted to go for the win in the scrimmage. The game was played in steady rain, with heavier showers in the second half.

Greer will have its final two-a-day practices Monday, weather permitting. Greenville County schools begin classes Wednesday.

Greer plays Woodruff at Blue Ridge next Friday at 7 p.m. in its final tuneup in the preseason.

The Jackets play at Seneca on Aug. 30 in the season-opener.

It’s the second straight scrimmage Greer played a 4A school. The Yellow Jackets overwhelmed Gaffney on Thursday’s Meet the Jackets Night.
