A Season-Best Performance from Ryan Clayborn Leads Greenbrier over South Effingham
On Friday, Greenbrier got the W thanks in part to Ryan Clayborn playing the best football he has all season. Clayborn rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 76 yards.
For the year, Clayborn has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 47.1 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.89 receiving yards per game.
