Faith 28, Greenbrier 20
Faith Christian School opened its football season by holding off Greenbrier at home on Friday night.
The Patriots trailed 13-8 at halftime and missed out on adding to their lead just before the break when the Gators intercepted a pass and then drove the field and scored on the final play of the second quarter.
Addison Holland gave FCS a 14-13 lead in the third quarter on a 75-yard touchdown run.
An eight-yard TD from Jeffrey White made it 20-13 Patriots before Greenbrier tied the game at 20-all with five minutes to play.
A 47-yard TD run combined with a two-point conversion run by Caden Hamlett gave FCS the lead for good, and Josh Measamer dropped the Gators’ ball-carrier for a loss on fourth and inches to seal the victory.
Hamlett rushed 16 times for 110 yards and a TD for the Patriots, while Holland added seven carries for 100 yards and a score and White tallied 97 yards on seven carries with two TD.
Hamlett led the home team on defense with 13 tackles and a fumble recovery. White added six tackles and forced a fumble, while Max Raper, Carter Boswell and Thomas Sugg had five tackles each (Raper had a tackle for loss and forced a fumble and Boswell provided two tackles for loss).
FCS is at home Friday against Halifax Academy.
