The Rebels won and the Herald always had the Vikings on page 1 above the fold.... not that morning. Page 5 small letters.... GOWAN RUNS WILD AS REBELS WIN.
Didn't even tell you who they beat.
Another upset was 1997. Byrnes over Spartanburg at Gibbs. SHS had won 3 Big 16 titles in a row and Byrnes has won 3 games total the two years before. We had no chance, then Mike Wannamaker went down and Byrnes wins in OT. Bobby has mentioned before that win was the win that really took the program up a few notches.
If that was in the rain, I was running the video for Bobby on that game..
Correct. Rained like crazy in the first half, cold as a well digger's tail in the second half. One of the Wright brothers scored in ot, we won 31-25.
It was dry and warm in the upper deck of the new press box!
