The Greyhounds took on the Atlanta Cardinals Saturday night at Carolina High School, the
Greyhounds first home game in their new stadium. The Greyhounds started a new tradition of
entrance to the field that they established at their first game that the other team recognized
and talked about. The Entrance was a sign of togetherness and organization and the
Greyhounds was set out to prove just that. As the game got started the Cardinals had other
plans as they came out on opening kickoff and caused a fumble and went straight to the air
and completed a 48 yard pass down to the Greyhounds 2 yard line and set up a touchdown in
the opening minutes of the game. The extra point was no good giving the Cardinals a early 6
to 0 lead over the Greyhounds. After a blocked punt in the end zone and a recovery by #88
Jovan Aiken the Greyhounds tied the score at 6 to 6 and added an extra point by Thomas
Hurley to go up 7-6. Not to be out done the Cardinals came right back with the air attack to go

| 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 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 Greyhounds (1-1 ) visited the Atlanta, Georgia region again This week; this time taking a
northern route to visit the Georgia Buccaneers (1-1) in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Greyhounds
coming off a come from behind win against the Atlanta Cardinals were upbeat and excited
about the possibilities of how good they could become, went into Buccaneers territory only to
be forced to walk the plank of despair. The Buccaneers handed the Greyhounds a 38 to 0
loss; dropping the Greyhounds record to 1-2 on the season. Coach Beeks said, " Pre-game
warm ups did not give him the confidence that the teams focus was fully there as it had been in
the previous game. The guys were in a joking state of mind and did not seem to take this game
serious." We were not where we should have been mentally and when Coach G and I reviewed
the film at 4am in the morning it didn't get any better than what we had seen on the field, in
fact, we could clearly see that we were beat from the outset. Coach Beeks addressed the team
afterwards and told his players that the Buccaneers are not 38 points better than the
Greyhounds and he was not mad but more disappointed that was the effort that they had left
on the field. Coach G and I tried to stress to the guys how important a win could have been to
the Greyhounds separating the conference from sole 2nd place standing. We took a huge step
backward today and can not afford to be in this situation. The Greyhounds had few highlights
to speak of according to Beeks. If I had to make a report of what I had stand out in my mind I
would have to say that Rodriguez Rodgers had two good catches for offense and Adam "The
Hammer" Roth lowered the Boom with another BIG HIT on Defense.

Come out and support the Greyhounds at their next home game! A
benefit affair for the Shriners Hospital for Children. The Greyhounds
are setting out to set a new record for Semi-pro football, an
attendance record and a $10,000 donation. We are driving at bringing
attention to the benefits of having a regional hospital that serves
children up to 18 years of age for orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal
cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate care at no cost to the patients
regardless of family financial need.
Owner James Beeks when asked what sparked him to do a fundraiser
for the Shriner's Hospital, He first eluded to importance of what having
such a special hospital means to the children that have benefited or
will benefit from the services offered at the hospital. Beeks then
remembered just last year when the story broke that the Shriner's
Hospital in Greenville was on a list to shut down and the community
support that followed to keep the doors opened. Finally Beeks said
that the most touching and inspirational act put on by the local
Shriner's Hospital was about a little girl that lost her legs in an attack
that caught her outside playing in a war zone. Beeks said that the
story was so close to him because in memory he could remember
being over seas in the war that is continuing and imaging the scene as
this event happened to this little girl. I was in Iraq during Operation
Dessert Storm and hearing the bombs explode in the distance and
being right behind the lines and the sound of U.S. Armored tanks firing

girl the joy of and experience of walking again. As the news covered this heart warming story Beeks said he could not help but
feel overwhelmed to try and help, as this season benefit games were being organized Beeks said that the opportunity to give
back to this great cause was at the top of the list. We have a great chance to set some new records for minor league football
