2001 vs. Giles Co.

Greenbrier opened the century with a difficult 3–8 season, but the record still ended in November. After five straight losses to open the year, the Bobcats found wins over Page, Cheatham County and Giles County.

Roger Herndon carried eight times for 147 yards and two touchdowns; Bobby George had 18 carries for 130 yards; Greenbrier totaled 396 yards of offense. The article also says the win clinched Greenbrier’s fourth playoff berth in four seasons under Kirk Williams.

Roger Herndon: 147 rushing yards on eight carries with two touchdowns. The contemporary clipping and Greenbrier rushing records agree on the yardage.
