One of them being: Who is the starting quarterback?

Blue Ridge will open its 2019 season at home against Landrum this Friday night, and the Tigers are out for revenge.
James Thurn’s team was blanked by the Cardinals in the opener last season, 42-0, and the young head coach said Landrum returns a strong football team.
Riverside will take on Travelers Rest on the road in Week 0. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Robinson, Fulmer place at Bassmaster
Byrnes Rebels Fishing Team members Marshall Robinson and Mason Fulmer moved up to 8th place in the Bassmaster High School National Championship.
