Sophomore RB Robert Grandy, shown in photo, added 64 yards rushing and his 1st varsity TD. Freshman DT Jaylin Miller returned a Hanna fumble 64 yards for a TD in the 3rd Quarter to lead the Gaffney defense. The Indians travel to Byrnes on Friday.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK this past Friday had Spartanburg playing great defense and outgaining Greenwood 336 yards to 120 yards and still the Vikings lost the game. Four turnovers led to 14 Greenwood points and other offensive mistakes stopped potential scoring drives. It was a very disappointing performance by the Spartanburg Vikings as they lost at home for the 2nd consecutive week. It was a very big win for the Greenwood Eagles as they found a way to get it done and avenge the loss to the Vikings last season.
THE COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK had the Clemson Tigers, with a dominating defensive and special teams performance, defeating the Boston College Eagles 25 to 7. C.J. Spiller got the Tigers off and running with a 1st Quarter 77 yard punt return for a TD. It turned out to be Clemson's only TD of the game. Spiller had 240 all-purpose yards for the game before leaving early in the 4th Quarter after aggravating the toe injury he suffered in week one of the season. Richard Jackson made 6 field goals, with a long of 52 yards, for the Tigers other points of the day. Clemson QB Kyle Parker finally played like a freshman as he had two picks and a very up and down game. The Tiger's defense played a great game as they held Boston College to 55 yards of offense and four 1st downs. Clemson's defensive front dominated the line of scrimmage against the Eagle's huge offensive line. The 55 yards allowed by the Clemson defense is the second-lowest total allowed by the Tigers against an ACC opponent. The Tigers allowed 41 yards against Virginia in 1963. Clemson prepares for a visit from 15th ranked TCU on Saturday afternoon.
Did You Know? The 6 field goals, made by Richard Jackson, tied the school record of Jad Dean.
THE NFL GAME OF THE WEEK turned out to be a better played game by Jake Delhomme (T.O.) than the last two games that the Panthers had. The bad thing is the Carolina Panthers had the same result A LOSS! The Atlanta Falcons beat the Panthers 28 to 20. Delhomme threw for 308 yards and one TD and one INT. The Falcons got a very good game from QB Matt Ryan as he threw 3 TD passes. Michael Turner rushed for 108 yards and one TD. Matt Ryan could have played in a tuxedo as the Panther's defense didn't touch him all game. Carolina has some serious problems on defense and they find themselves with an 0 and 2 record. Things had better turn around fast or some heads could roll.
