Byrnes taking high-powered offense to Nike camp in Oregon
By David Shelton
Consulting Managing Editor
There is no time to count championships around the gridiron and weight room of Byrnes High School. With the most recent trophy still glistening, the current group of Rebels are hard at work to insure another run in 2009.
Like every other program in the state, Byrnes has been pretty busy this summer competing in passing leagues and competitions. They take their high-powered show on the road in two weeks, visiting the Nike complex in Oregon for the prestigious seven-on-seven competition against some of the nation’s top prep programs.
“We were invited last year and it was a great experience for our kids to see so many of the best players in the country,” said Byrnes head coach Chris Miller. “It’s a lot of fun, a great time, but it’s also a lot of work. The people there make it fun for the kids but every player there knows it’s tremendous competition. There are some great football players there and we’re honored that we’ve been invited to be a part of it all.”
Byrnes, in a word, is loaded for 2009. The Rebels boast eight of the state’s top 40 football prospects, including the top prospect in the state – running back Marcus Lattimore. Quarterback Chas Dodds returns, as do big-time playmakers Nick Jones, Jazz King and Torian Richardson at receiver. full story >>

The event was held in two segments with Snyder, who coached the Pacers to the national ranking of 12th in the county this spring, addressed the afternoon session which included all sports except baseball.
“Keep your eyes on the prize,” said Snyder who recalled briefly the establishment of the USC-A program. “We started with just about nothing, but we have brought our program up with South Carolina players. full story >>
