INDIANS GET BY YELLOW JACKETS!! The Indians were a little sloppy on offense and played a bend but not break style on defense but, the bottom line was a 27 to 14 victory over the Union County Yellow Jackets. QB Eddie Studyvance was 12 of 19 for 171 yards and two TD passes, WR Greg Ellis caught two TD passes and RB Hyleck Foster had 15 rushes for 99 yards and one TD to lead the offense. The defense was led by DB Jordan Shippy with a pick 6 from 52 yards to put the Tribe up 14 to 0 early 3rd quarter. The Tribe had to overcome 11 penalties for 118 yards. Like I said earlier it was sloppy but, it was a win and they are 2 and 1 heading to York this Friday night.

TRIBE FACTS..... QB Eddie Studyvance has been very efficient through the first three games of the season. He has not thrown an interception and he has completed almost 70% of his passes.

GAFFNEY @ YORK PREVIEW..... Like Gaffney the York Cougars lost 10 of their 11 defensive starters from last years team. The Cougars have played pretty well on offense through the first two weeks of the season. They scored 46 points last week against Boiling Springs but, they had to get a 32 yard field goal as time expired to get the win over the Bulldogs 46 to 45. The Cougars are very athletic and physical.

The Indians were sloppy at times last week but, they won an ugly game. I would rather win ugly than lose pretty. The Tribe had eleven penalties, had a TD called back and had some injuries. The offense done enough and the defense continues to improve. The Tribe will have to play better this week to leave York with a win.

Gaffney @ York..... This one has the potential to be very entertaining. It should be pretty high scoring. It will be a 4th quarter game..... Gaffney 34  York 28

Byrnes @ Northwestern..... This game will probably be like playing a video game. two high powered offenses, number 1 vs number 2 and a lot of points..... Byrnes 42  Northwestern 35

Chesnee @ Woodruff..... Another high scoring game. These two rivals are ready to get it on. Chesnee lost a heart breaker last season and it will be close again this season..... Woodruff 42  Chesnee 31
