Preview:
The Blue Ridge Tigers saw former Greenville QB Holden Powell transfer into the starting job with two others as they look to replace the production of three-year starter Gavin Forrester. With plenty of options at running back, they’ll have a grinding style as they try to offset the loss of the stat-stuffing Forrester.
Six starters come back on the defensive line by LB Tajah Landrum and DBs Max Gonzalez and Hudson Poirier.
