GREENWOOD, S.C. — Four football players from Greenwood and nearby Saluda have earned spots in the S.C. Junior Showcase Bowl, an all-star game for some of the state’s top juniors. Kickoff is Jan. 3, 2027, in Rock Hill, on the campus of South Pointe High.

Emerald High sends two players. Running back Joe Moore piled up 1,605 yards for the Vikings in 2026. Receiver Desiray Christian Jr., listed at 6 feet and 190 pounds, caught passes for 770 yards this fall and has collected 20 scholarship offers from Division I programs.

Greenwood High is represented by Jayden Cunningham, a 6-foot-3, 320-pound lineman who has anchored the blocking up front for the Eagles.

Saluda receiver Darryl Hill rounds out the local group. His 985 receiving yards are the most on an explosive Tigers offense this season.

South Pointe also hosted a junior showcase game this past January, when the West team edged the East 24-23 in a contest featuring players from the Class of 2027.
