– Troy Pride Jr. scored three touchdowns — two on punt returns (28, 77) and one 50-yard reception — as Greer (S.C.) blasted Eastside, 48-7.
– Spotsylvania (VA) Courtland linebacker/running back Victor Greene made the most of his 10 carries, rushing for 150 yards and two touchdowns as the Cougars (4-1) soundly defeated Liberty (Bealeton), 54-20.
