| The Greyhounds organization seeks to establish itself and the players as role models and upstanding citizens to the youth of the Upstate of South Carolina. It is our intention as leaders of the communities we each represent, to deter todays youth from the usage of drugs, gang membership, and other criminal engagements; instead we will use our influence to refer them to the importance of education, sports participation, community pride, and self preservation. As the Greyhounds organization grows in popularity and recognition within the community, we will use our influence to instill respect, honor, sportsmanship, a stride for a healthy body and mind in each child we encounter. Realizing that semi-pro football offers each player an opportunity to live out their dreams they also preserve the footsteps for future players to come. |
| The Greenville Greyhounds mission is to provide athletes in the community an opportunity to promote and develop football talents and leadership skills of each individual participant that is accepted by the governing body of the Greenville Greyhounds. |

The All Stars for the International team
played against the North South Florida
All Stars in Homestead Florida. The
Greenville Greyhounds had 8 players in
the game that ended in an 8 point tie
between the two teams. Before the game in an interview with the coach of the International All Stars, the coach was adamant about playing
tough defense and holding the Florida All Stars in check and they did just that. The Florida All Stars scored early and then the International All
Stars took over in a strategic battle of offense and defense. The offense sputtered and had brief moments of success but could never mount a
consitent offensive attack. With a limited run attack the offensive starategy seemed to focus more on a passing attack. Several recievers had
catches to spark emotions from the bench but in this game consitency is key. Representing the Greyhounds WR John Darden had 1 catch, 1
kickoff return for 26yds, and covered a punt and downed it inside 20yd line to pin the North/South All Stars deep in their own territory.
Offensively Swole Gilbert was handed the ball once for a 3yd run added support as a blocking back on several plays, and as an upback on
punts. Providing protection for the QB was Big Mike Austin and Quinton Carson holding the left side of the offense like they had so many times
for the Greenville Greyhounds offensive line. The left side of the offense did not allow a sack during the All Star game. Stepping in on Defense
starting at CB Joey Burks did not give up a reception as the North/South Allstars threw at him 6 times. Being mobile Burks moved to Defensive
End and had 2 assist tackles. At inside Linebacker Robert Montgomery had an impressive game with 2 solo tackles, 5 assist tackles, 1 break
up pass and to cap off his day an Interception. Padding the defensive stats as well was co linebacker Haile Gibson with 4 assist tackles, 1
break up pass, and 1 interception. Steve Hart brought in support on special teams and is looking forward to joining the Greyhounds team for
the 2010 football season.
MVP of the Game:
Offense - QB Chris Armstrong (North Texas Stampede) Defense - Jasen Wright (North Illinois Cowboys)
