Tough night at . Greenville beat Greer 38-28 in a Class 4A opening-round playoff game Friday, ending the Yellow Jackets' season. Greenville built a 28-7 cushion before halftime, with its junior quarterback throwing three touchdown passes and running for another. Greer chipped away in the second half but couldn't close the gap.

Greer earned the home date after being awarded a 2-0 forfeit win over Greenville in the regular season. The State's playoff schedule had No. 7 Greer hosting No. 10 Greenville, and Greenville Online's first-round list put it among Friday's games. The second-round pairings are out.

I was walking into Walmart yesterday, I witnessed something I had never seen before, someone getting caught for shoplifting.

“They let her think she was gonna make it out the door ,then out of no where the guy steps in front of her. People with sticky fingers might think they are so smart they will get away with it, remember crime doesn't pay!!!!”
