PC Football Holds Annual Spring Game
CLINTON, S.C. – In the first spring football game under
Bobby Bentley’s direction, Presbyterian’s Grayson Mullins
(Columbia, S.C.) racked up 282 total yards, passing for 223
yards and rushing for another 59 at Bailey Memorial Stadium
on Saturday morning.
Mullins was 20-for-29 on his passes on the day, throwing for
two touchdowns and scampering 53 yards on the ground for
another on the offense’s first possession of the spring
game.
He was not the only Blue Hose player to make his mark in the
spring game.
The wide receivers seemed to especially thrive in Bentley’s
spread offense. Terrance Butler (Surfside Beach, S.C.) led
the way for the receivers, hauling in five catches for 102
yards and two touchdowns.
Clinton native Chetyuane Reeder put on a display for the
Blue Hose faithful, catching 13 balls for 96 yards and one
touchdown.
Larry Thomas (Orangeburg, S.C.) was the third Blue Hose
receiver in the contest with 90 yards or more receiving,
catching six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.
In total, four Blue Hose wideouts caught touchdowns as
Justin Durant (Florence, S.C.) also found the end zone on
one of his four catches on the day.
Mullins was not the only proficient quarterback either for
the Blue Hose with Tim Webb (Lugoff, S.C.) completing 14 of
his 21 pass attempts for 137 yards. Webb also threw for two
touchdowns.
Continuing on his strong end to the 2006 campaign, S.J.
Worrell (Madison, Ga.) led PC’s ground attack, rushing for
67 yards and two touchdowns.
Middle Linebacker Antwan Thomas (Hawkinsville, Ga.) led the
Blue Hose defensive charge, recording a game-high eight
tackles and a game-best five solo stops. Thomas also had one
tackle-for-loss.
Terrance Blake (Kingsland, Ga.) was stout on the defensive
line for PC, tallying six tackles and one sack on the day.
Defensive back Andreas Wright (Columbus, Ga.) picked off two
passes on the day.
PC Football’s 2007 Spring Game consisted of two separate
segments. The first part was a 65-play scrimmage that placed
the offense against the defense in a variety of different
circumstances.
The second part was the continuation of a new tradition for
PC Football – the Cyrus Bowl, which was played on Tuesday,
April 10 at Bailey Memorial Stadium. The Cyrus Bowl was
designed by the coaching staff and gave the seniors the
chance to draft players and coaches with Bentley and other
members of his staff on each sideline.
The two teams were named PC and Blue Hose.
PC was coached by Bentley and they garnered a 29-10 victory
on Tuesday over Blue Hose. PC wanted a rematch so a
game-situation 15-minute quarter was played after the
conclusion of the 65-play Spring game scrimmage.
This time Blue Hose took a narrow 7-6 victory.
Presbyterian opens its 2007 football season at 7 p.m. on
Saturday, Sept. 1 in Greenville, S.C. against Furman
University. PC Football will have its first home tilt of
2007 at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8 at Bailey Memorial
Stadium against Pikeville College.
