Nominees for the week of Sept. 15 are:
Lucas Tankersley, Eastside
The senior running back/linebacker is in the running for Athlete of the Week for a second week in a row.
Tankersley delivered the best rushing performance of his career in Eastside's clash with Spartanburg on Friday, accounting for 229 yards rushing and three touchdowns.Â
Eastside's senior standout had a 60-yard rushing TD in the second quarter, as well as a 20-yard rushing score that saw the Tankersley truck several Spartanburg defenders and drag multiple Vikings across the goal line. The video clip of that 20-yard touchdown from Tankersley, posted by GreerNews, racked up over 300 thousand views on social media in two days.
Tankersley also had seven tackles on the evening.
Eliana Wade, Byrnes volleyball
Wade helped guide Byrnes to a perfect week, including a 3-2 reverse sweep victory over Eastside to lift Byrnes back up the 5-A Region 2 standings.
Wade had 32 kills and 22 digs between the two Byrnes victories last week.Â
Calvin McCoy, Greer football
McCoy put together a stellar performance for the Jackets in Greer's first win of the season, a 56-0 romp of Berea.
McCoy, Greer's premier running back, carried the ball 16 times for 223 yards and five touchdowns in the Greer win, including a 76-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
