Postseason Honors

Greenbrier’s football honors records list these names under the school’s original award categories.

All-Region 4-3A

Leadership register

Captains & Leadership

Greenbrier’s captain register records a program-wide practice for this period: “1973–2001 Seniors were game captains.” The collection therefore does not assign a fixed season-captain list for this year unless a game program, roster or contemporary clipping identifies one.

Greenbrier answered a 1–4 opening with four consecutive wins, including a one-point comeback at Livingston Academy.

At 1–4, Greenbrier began a four-game response: 35–21 over Macon County, 14–0 over Springfield, 29–28 over Livingston Academy and 35–21 over DeKalb County.

Against Livingston, the Bobcats trailed 28–14 entering the fourth quarter. Brandon Holder threw the tying touchdown with 2:55 left and ran the winning two-point conversion.

The Northwest scoring line prints “Deidrick Stetson” on a 58-yard touchdown. The roster and postseason record identify Stetson Dickerson, so the transposed newspaper form is documented rather than treated as a second player.

Source comparison: The Northwest scoring line's “Deidrick Stetson” is documented as a transposition of Stetson Dickerson.
