GAME STORY / CONTEXT

2004 vs. Memphis Kingsbury

Greenbrier’s second straight semifinal required a trip to Memphis and the program’s first meeting with Kingsbury. The Bobcats won 14–12. With Kingsbury driving late, Adam Adcock intercepted Corey Reed to end the threat — the play that turned the clippings from semifinal coverage into “Bound for the ’Boro.”
