Men's Soccer by Coach Sharpless
Congratulations boys on a hard fought game against Riverside! Unfortunately, we lost last night in overtime 2-1 to #1 Riverside. Riverside is now in sole position at the top of our conference. These guys are making strides and it's an honor to coach these fine young men! BUT...we will have a rematch, so it's not over!
#12 Blue Ridge plays at home Thursday vs. Clinton. This is a 5:30 game, so a great opportunity to see what we're all about! Or if you prefer Friday, we play at 6:30 vs. Walhalla. We promise great entertainment for the cost. If it isn't our play, it would be the personalized warm-up music/rap that a few of our boys made!

The Tigers suffered a tough 5-2 loss to Union on Monday evening. To make matters worse, when they arrived at The Beacon in Spartanburg, it was closed (even though the website said it was open til 10:00). The team had to eat at McDonald's. It was not a good day to be a Tiger.
Senior Fred David was the bright spot for the Tigers, winning 6-2, 6-0 at #1 Singles and 8-7 at #1 Doubles.
The Tigers play arch-rival Greer at home on Wednesday.
