2003 vs. Sycamore
The Sycamore rematch became one of the wildest games in the book. Regulation ended 9–9. Sycamore scored first in overtime; Greenbrier answered. In the second overtime, Herndon’s 1-yard touchdown put Greenbrier ahead 23–16. Sycamore scored again and chose to go for two rather than kick for another overtime. Adam Adcock tackled Nathan McVay short of the goal line. Greenbrier survived 23–22. Herndon carried 27 times for 128 yards.
Greenbrier recovered with wins over Montgomery Central and Sycamore, then went to Page with the Region 5-3A lead at stake. Page scored late to pull within 21–19, but a swarm of Bobcat defenders stopped the potential tying two-point conversion. The win left Greenbrier alone atop the region.
One week later, Greenbrier beat Marshall County 36–27 to clinch the championship. Kirk Williams told the paper the seniors had dedicated four years to winning a region title. The Bobcats had just beaten Sycamore, Page and Marshall County in three consecutive weeks — the three teams the story identified as the region’s best.
