Greetings from Greenwood! Here’s What’s Happening in Your Area!

Good morning, Greenwood! As we step into this beautiful day, let’s discuss the weather and some exciting local sports updates — because who doesn’t enjoy a little sunshine and sporty action?

Today’s weather is a fine blend of cloud play and sunshine. Some clouds this morning might try to steal the spotlight, but don’t worry; they’ll make way for generally sunny skies in the afternoon. Pack a light jacket because it’s going to be cool with the temperature peaking at a High of 61°F. You might also want to hold onto your hat with those winds blowing from the north at 10 to 15 mph. As night falls, expect clear skies with a Low of 37°F. Tonight’s winds will be much calmer — just enough to give your windchimes a gentle dance.

Greenwood Eagles Fly High, but Just Short of Top 10!

In the world of local high school sports, anticipation has been on the rise — and for good reason! Our beloved Greenwood Eagles are on an impressive upward climb. Greenwood quarterback Triston Lewis has been a dynamic force, skillfully maneuvering the field and sparking energy in the games. Despite a formidable win streak, they hover just outside the top 10 in the South Carolina media poll. This week, they bumped up a notch to hold an unofficial rank at No. 11. Keep soaring, Eagles!

The Notable Movements in Class Rankings

Let’s take a quick peek at how other teams are faring in the ranks. In Class 2A, Saluda is hot on the heels of Batesburg-Leesville, holding ground just one step from the top. The excitement is certainly stacking up as Saluda received seven first-place votes this week. Meanwhile, Abbeville proves to be the showstopper in Class 1A with their stunning victory over Calhoun Falls, keeping their stronghold on the No. 1 spot. On the flip side, Dixie took a significant tumble from No. 5 down to No. 9 in the same class after recent matches.

And let’s not forget the big guns! Dutch Fork is the reigning No. 1 in Class 5A and Westside continues to hold strong in Class 4A. Belton-Honea Path fans also have a reason to rejoice — their team powers the top position in Class 3A yet again. It’s safe to say, our schools are making some big waves across the state.
