Goalkeeper Zachary Reinert is allowing less than a goal per game, collecting his second-straight shutout as Byrnes moves to 2-0 in region play.
Greer 3, Berea 1
Isaac Pardo scored the first and third goals for Greer while freshman Peyton Healy added the second.Â
"Gutsy result from our guys today," said head coach Nick Roberson. "Really banged up with injuries, but our guys just kept wanting to work. Refused to be denied, stayed the course and got the result.
"Massive shoutout to Peyton Healy, a freshman that initially made the JV team. Got called up for the GMC game last week, scored then and scored again against Berea after he found out 10 minutes before kickoff he would be making his first varsity start. Assisted the first goal of the game and scored the second."
