Week 0 Game Balls: Unranked Players Impress In Upstate
There's announcing your presence, and then there's what Byrnes' <strong>Gabe Rogers</strong> did on Friday.
Byrnes' second-year starter has benefitted from his first full 7-on-7 summer as the varsity starter, and he showed it against Greer. Rogers finished 10-for-16 with 239 yards and five touchdowns as the Rebels defeated the Yellow Jackets 55-14.
• One of Rogers' top targets also opened some eyes on Friday. <strong>Collin Imhoff</strong> hauled in six receptions for the Rebels on his way to 128 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns.
• Just down the road in Woodruff, <strong>Mathias Dial</strong> put on a clinic. The senior receiver showcased an immediate connection with QB Carson Tucker, notching nine receptions for 175 yards and three touchdowns.
• Spartanburg didn't get a win, but they did find a wrecking ball at running back in <strong>Drek Carter.</strong> Carter rushed for 148 yards and both Vikings' scores against Gaffney, including a 41-yard fourth-quarter dash that trimmed the Indians' lead to five.
• Powdersville's <strong>Eli Hudgins</strong> looked great in the Patriots' comeback win over Broome. Hudgins was 11-of-19 for 306 yards, and tossed three of his five touchdowns after halftime as Powdersville rallied from a 28-19 deficit. He added 87 yards on the ground, including a 57-yard TD in the fourth quarter that served as an exclamation point.
