Greyhounds’ season ends with loss
Wilmington (21) vs. Greenville (41)
Written: Oct 26, 2013
The 2013 season is officially over for the Wilmington High football team.
The Greyhounds saw their slim playoff aspirations disintegrate with a 41-21 District 10, Region 3-AA loss at Greenville last night.
Although Wilmington was all-but officially eliminated from the postseason picture with a loss to Sharon last week, an upset over the unbeaten region champion Trojans could have made the District 10 selection committee’s decision a bit tougher. The young Greyhounds, however, end their season at 3-4 in the region, 5-4 overall. Greenville moves on at 7-0, 9-0.
It was the first loss by Wilmington to the Trojans in 10 meetings and the first time the Greyhounds will miss the District 10 playoffs since 2004.
Greenville jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter before the Greyhounds got on the board with a 20-yard pass from Cody Llewellyn to Marc Peoples. Peoples later scored on a 17-yard pass from Llewellyn. He caught 12 passes in the game for 162 yards as Llewellyn completed 17 of 35 passes for 200 yards.
Josiah Bloise closed out the scoring for Wilmington with a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.
