3 Pack Recruits Victorious In Season Opener

Last night Athens Drive (Robert Crisp and Pete Singer) and Southern Durham (Tony Creecy) were victorious in their season opener's on the road.

Southern Durham packed up in the buses and headed down to Greenville, North Carolina to face off against Rose. I guess you could say that last nights game was worth driving the distance for Southern, considering the fact that they destroyed Rose 47-17. The game didn't always look this one-sided, Rose led at halftime 17-14. The story of the game would be the third quarter when Southern put 33 points on the scoreboard and held Rose to a goose egg (Rose didn't score at all in the 2nd half). NC State commit Tony Creecy helped get the party started in the second half, catching a 44 yard touchdown to give Southern a 21-17 lead, and I guess you could say that was the beginning of a scoring rampage by Southern. Tony Creecy is a 4-star recruit, and he lived up to the hype last night, leading all receivers with 121 yards receiving accompanied by one TD.

Athens Drive must have been excited to suit up to NC State commits last night in the Orange and Blue. Robert Crisp (OL) and Pete Singer (DB) are both NC State commits that just transferred to Athens a couple of weeks ago. The two of them helped lead Athens Drive to a 21-14 over Sanderson on the road last night in their season opener. I guess Crisp's presence didn't hurt Athen's running game last night, as the Jaguar running backs tallied 266 yards on the ground, averaging 6.3 a carry. Athens running back KyRee Green dashed for a 7 yard touchdown run with 31 seconds left in the game to seal the deal.
