I don't see them beating Greenwood. But I think as the new staff gets their teeth more into this team that they will improve greatly. Previously Emerald was almost a mystery to watch. Size, speed, athletes all over the field. Had as much talent as anybody in 3A football. But then blew it by being one of the most undisciplined, poorly coached, teams that one could see in this state.

I don't know if Emerald will beat Greenwood, but I would place my bet on Greenwood. I will say that if they ever merged the two schools back into one that Greenwood would be a school that could be as annually dominant as Dutch Fork with the talent that the town has produced over time. The split has affected Greenwood much like other former powerhouses like Irmo, Summerville, Spring Valley, Spartanburg, etc... I think now that you are in the right classification you should compete for State Championships again regularly! I wish Berkeley was in AAAA because they would do the same. Great school, but they would have to drive forever to play in the proper classification.
Not here to debate this again. But Greenwood had the talent to do better than it did in 5A. Schools like Easley, Woodmont, etc aren't powerhouses and Greenwood lost to them.
Greenwood beat 5A Hillcrest so Liner is heading in the right direction. We don't lose to teams we should beat.

I am glad you think so because Hillcrest hasn't beaten anyone of significance since 2014!! Hope ya'll have a great year this year.

Despite the 35-7 score, Emerald really isn't a bad team. The backs ran hard and the line is big. They do need to work on a passing game to go with the option. If they give this same effort they gave in the game against Greenwood, they can have a good season.
