6.32 million viewers for today’s NASCAR afternoon race. Not even prime time. 38% viewership increase since the last race. But tell me again how NASCAR is done since they removed the confederate flag???
In 20 years from now you’re going to tell your grandkids that once upon a time a team put together 5 All-Stars just to beat one man.
The saddest part is they’ll think you’re lying.
Called my final HS 🏈 game in SC this past Friday at Northwestern. I started keeping stats while in HS at Boiling Springs & Phil Cox gave me the opportunity to get my foot in the door 10 years ago and I’m forever grateful. So many great memories along the way. Truly blessed.

Dutch Fork is at Wren, at Gaffney, at Byrnes, at Greenwood, & home vs Spartanburg all back to back. There is a BYE week for DF after Byrnes, but man what a non-region schedule.
It’s almost like playing football in the Upstate.

I COULD NOT be more proud to be a Crusader. WHAT. A. SEASON!!!
As Christmas approaches, I want everyone who reads this to know what Jesus Christ has done for me and that He is THE reason for the season! A personal relationship with Christ is the best decision you could ever make! I pray you know Him today!
This guy right here
@jaidenmcdowell8
is the definition of heart & grit. Down big, but this dude doesn’t stop. The effort is unmatched.
As Dan Jones said, pick up the pieces and get better!
Every season, it’s always hard coming up short. Loved being around this group of guys and have the privilege of calling each of your names on the radio! Can’t wait for next season!

I took these pictures a few years ago standing at the empty tomb and I still have the same chills today as I did then. Thank you Jesus! The tomb is empty!
Proud of what you’ve done in a long & successful career
@bhsrunninrebels
even in defeat. The definition of a coach that cares and puts his players first. And gets IT! 💪 ❤️
Just 8 weeks ago. Best performance I have ever seen at Gaffney thanks to
@icyy_rahjai
, but these two teams meet again. This time the winner goes to Upper State. Are you ready?
As a broadcaster, I’ve listened to
@RealVoiceofHawk
my entire life and to this day will tell you there is no one better. Cannot imagine how it must feel to wake up and have a game 7 call tonight at 8pm. Have a great call my man. Go Hawks!
GLORY DAYS
For the first time since 1980,

Congratulations to local standout &

South Carolina’s staff is MUCH better today than it was one month ago with the addition of Shawn Elliott & now
@coachfurrey
. Really good hires by
@CoachSBeamer

You can say it’s 1A or say whatever you want, but Quin Hatfield is one of the best coaches in the entire state at ANY level. Christ Church is lucky as hell to have him.
Per The Cherokee Chronicle, former Byrnes & Spartanburg HC Chris Miller will be joining Gaffney Football and coach outside linebackers. The hire is awaiting board approval.
In all seriousness, Covid-19 set aside, what would it look like to form an organization that would rival
#SCHSL
and allow schools in our great state to be run by great administrators. Why are schools tied at the umbilical cord to this fraud organization?

God always is opening doors, and for this time and season, I have accepted a job teaching Media Technology at High Point Academy. I am not leaving local radio or

Quick note on Spartanburg at Boiling Springs while working on this week’s preview.
It has been 1,118 days since the Vikings last defeated the Bulldogs dating back to October 17th, 2014.
Rick Tate is looking for his 6th straight win over Chris Miller this Friday night.
