KeSean Glover had a terrific all around game for the Jackets.
In Fort Mill, the Spartanburg Vikings fell in their season opener to the Nation Ford Falcons, 20-6. Running Back Nathan Mahaffey was the vocal point of the Falcon offense and kept getting crucial first down after crucial first down as the game went on.
