Laurens HS
- Up Next in Football… The Raiders will be hosting the Southside Tigers tonight in their first region game and it will also be Homecoming… As with the other area team, this will be the first region game of the season for both teams and both teams are 0-5 so unless something very unforeseen happens, one of the two teams will pick up its first win… Southside is averaging 18.5 per game while giving up 34.8… Raiders have had trouble on offense averaging just 6.2 points per game while the defense has been helping them hang in there only allowing 31 points per game with most of that in second half of each game…To see the Southside schedule and results click here… By the way it is also Homecoming.
- Raider Cheer Classic 2024… The Raider completive cheer team finally got to start its season last night as they hosted the Raider Cheer Classic 2024… By the way, this was the first time the Raiders had ever hosted a completive cheer event… The number of teams that were able to compete was reduced at the last minute as the Greenville County School District imposed a 6:00 pm curfew on all athletic events and practices yesterday…. The Raiders finished second among the Class AAAA teams present to region foe Westside… Coach Erin Patterson said she was pleased with the Raiders first performance of the season especially since she has 5 middle schoolers on the team and several others who are new to competitive cheer on the team… If you click here, you will see a video of the 21/2 minute routine the Raiders performed a couple of photos after that… The Raiders are scheduled to participate in another event this Saturday where they are scheduled to take “center stage” at about 10:45 am… Go up and support the team if you get a chance

The Knights average 22.4 points per game while giving up 44 while the Crusaders average 38 points per game and give up an average of 31.5… To see the Oakbrook schedule and scores click here…. Go Crusaders!

Thornwell
- Volleyball: Abbeville 3 – Saints 0… last night the Thornwell Saints volleyball teams hosted the Abbeville Panthers in region action… I hate to have to report that the Saints were unable to “ring the bell” as in varsity action the Panthers took a 3-0 win… As a rule the Saints hung in there in the early portion of each set only to have the Panthers pull away in the end… Set scores were 25-16, 25-16 and 25-22… The middle school teams also played and Abbeville took a 2-0 win in that match… Set scores were 25-19 and 25-8… The Saints still have a shot at making the playoffs… Go Big Dogs!
