Union County will take the momentum of a win into region play this week.

The Yellow Jackets (2-3) travel to Greer (4-1) on Friday. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.

Greer

Greer is back after last year's off season, where the inexperienced Jackets finished 3-7.

This year, eight return on offense and six on defense. The experience has showed in wins over Woodruff, Berea, Greenville and Eastside.

Greer uses a multiple and spread offense, multiple and 4-3 on defense.

Players to watch are: Dominique Parks (jr., rb), Desmond Parks (sr., wr/te), Tymeco Gregory (sr., ol), Matt Holliday (sr., fs/k), Thomas Simmons (sr., wr) and Brad Holliday (sr., wr).

Speed,experience on the offensive line and 14 returners are strengths for the Jackets.

Last week, Greer dominated Eastside 62-14, leading 48-7 at halftime.

Dominique Parks rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Jonathan Winter rushed for 68 yards and three touchdowns.

Quarterback Efferlan Williams rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown, while passing for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Desmond Parks, who has committed to Florida, had a touchdown catch, as well as Brad Holliday.

Union County

UCHS got back in the win column with a 14-0 victory over Broome.

The defense looked great, holding Broome to 129 yards total offense and no points. Drell Smith recovered a Centurion fumble for a touchdown.

The offense finally got going with its double wing attack. Lamont Edney scored on a 35-yard run. UCHS had 145 yards total offense, 100 on the ground.

It will take a team effort this week, as Union County needs to get out of the gates quick in Region III-3A play.

“Greer has a good football team,” said coach David Lipsey. “They went through some growing pains last year with some young people. They got experience and are a much better football team this year. It will be a tough place to play, but I think we'll be ready.”
