REBELS AND GATORS UPSET!!!
The Class less Byrnes Rebels got knocked off of their high horse, on Saturday afternoon at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, by the Dorman Cavaliers in the Division 1 4A State Championship game. I'm sure those cocky and class less Rebels and their fans are still in shock, but they might as well get used to the idea that it is DORMAN NOT BYRNES that are State Champions this year! The Cavaliers took advantage of early turnovers and mistakes by the Rebels to jump ahead and they stayed ahead for most of the game eccept for a brief 17 to 14 lead by Byrnes in the 4th quarter. The Cavaliers responded and regained the lead, and then their defense had a pick six to increase the lead to 28 to 17. Then the Dorman defense iced the victory by intercepting QB Chas Dodd in the end zone. The Dorman defense forced 4 Byrnes turnovers, and the Dorman offense capitalized when they had the chance with just enough offense. One thing everybody knew going into Saturday's game was, the Division 1 4A Champion was going to be from Spartanburg County. The Champion is from ROEBUCK NOT DUNCAN!
The mighty Florida Gators also got knocked down a couple of pegs, by the Alabama Crimson Tide, in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta's Georgia Dome. The Crimson Tide was dominant form the start on both sides of the ball. Heisman hopeful Mark Ingram had a big game and Alabama QB Greg McElroy out played Florida's Tim Tebow and was named MVP of the game. The Tide won the game and the SEC Championship 32 to 13. Alabama now has a date with the Texas Longhorns in the BCS National Championship Game. Florida goes to the Sugar Bowl to take on Unbeaten Big East Champ Cincinnati.
