GAME STORY / CONTEXT

2002 vs. DCA

Act I · Older but wiser. The scrapbook begins with a team that had been young in 2001 but no longer lacked varsity experience. Greenbrier immediately changed one old pattern: the 24–14 win over Donelson Christian Academy was its first season-opening victory since the 1994 David Lipscomb game. A 40-minute lightning delay interrupted the night, but not the result.
