It was all treats for Greenville High School on the eve of Halloween as the Tigers ran away with a 34-7 victory over the Hillcrest Evergreen Jaguars to close out the regular season at 8-2.

It was a victory that was largely won in the air even without starting quarterback D’raylen McGrew, thanks to a handful of height advantages the Tigers receivers held over the Hillcrest Evergreen defensive backs.

But a traditionally impregnable Greenville defense buckled early in the first half as a Jaguar found himself alone and well behind the Tigers secondary for a 44-yard touchdown to cut an early 14-0 deficit in half.

When it seemed that the momentum had permanently shifted in the Jaguars’ favor, a hard-fought defensive series ended in tragedy thanks to an offsides penalty on fourth and short, giving the Tigers offense new life just outside of the red zone.
