The Spartans entered the Feb. 3 contest against conference foe Lexington with cautious optimism.
But an athletic Lexington team gave Greer all they could handle.
Played on an artificial, regulation-sized field, the Lexington team took advantage of some poor tackling in the centers to take a 5-0 lead at the five-minute mark. The Spartans responded minutes later when Ben Lumpkin touched down a misplayed kick in the try zone.
A few minutes later scrumhalf Adam Scott slipped into the try zone to stake the Spartans to a 10-5 lead.
Poor tackling, decision-making and very athletic Lexington team combined to keep the Spartan team from mounting an offensive attach in the first half.
Repeatedly, the team was blown for careless, unthinking penalties and played scatter-brained, undisciplined rugby.
It was ugly win that felt more like a defeat.
