The GMS girls and boys basketball teams both fell to Blue Ridge Middle during the annual 2011-2012 black out game at Greer High School. The Lady Jackets fought hard but fell short as the clock wound down. The final score of the game was 31-21. The boys were locked in a nail biter until the final buzzer sounded, but Blue Ridge pulled out the close 35-33 heartbreaker. The Jackets got possession of the ball in the final 1.7 seconds. The Jackets in bounded and put up the shot but it fell short. There was a shooting foul, so officials put 1.7 back on the clock and in-bounded once again.  Unfortunately, the Jackets still couldn’t connect. Both the girls and boys teams fought hard until the end but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Tigers.

The Greer Middle School Basketball teams split wins Monday night. The girls fell to Northwood by a score of 20-23. The boys got an impressive road win with a score of 48-24. Nearly every single boy player helped out and scored a few baskets. The Jackets are back in action Thursday Jan 26, once again playing Blue Ridge at Blue Ridge High school. Make sure to come out and support the Jackets as they seek a win against their rival.
