United Ministries needs turkeys and hams Charity needs help feeding 150 families BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Sumter United Ministries is asking the community to help meet its commitment to provide 150 families with all the trimmings for Thanksgiving dinner. Businesses, churches, social groups

and individuals are encouraged to donate frozen turkeys or hams between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today at Sumter United Ministries, 36 S. Artillery Drive or Bynum Insurance, 1170 Wilson Hall Road. About 150 families will come to the ministry on Tuesday between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. for project “Giving Thanks,” to pick up their dinner boxes. As of Thursday afternoon, the organization was still in need of 50 hams or turkeys to fulfill their com-

mitment, said Mark Champagne, executive director. The families have been identified for the need through either receiving assistance from the organization before or making contact with the organization otherwise. Each box includes a turkey or ham, dinner rolls, sweet potatoes, stuffing and other food items. Champagne said volunteers are invited to attend to help distribute the food boxes.

“This is a fun event that provides an opportunity for families and volunteers to socialize together and for the families to have an enjoyable Thanksgiving,” he said. The organization is also planning on adopting about 90 families for Christmas, providing the families with Christmas gifts. For more information on assisting with the projects, contact the ministry at (803) 775-0757 or email kathy@sumterunitedministries.org.

Vaccinations best way to ward off flu BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Through the first two weeks of November, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control is reporting “sporadic” flu activity. “That is pretty low,” said Dr. Melissa Overman, assistant epidemiologist for DHEC. “There are some cases coming in but nothing to put people on high alert.” When higher levels of flu could spread across the country is difficult to tell, she said. “It varies so much from year to year; it can be as early as October and it could be as late as December or January,” she said. “Traditionally, we think of the flu season as December and January, but it extends before that and after that. Influenza is a year-round illness despite what most people think.”

BY BRUCE MILLS bruce@theitem.com

Overman said the single best way to prevent influenza is to be vaccinated. “The (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and DHEC still recommend that anybody six months of age and older, who can medically receive an influenza shot, go ahead and do so,” she said. There are four types of vac-

Clarendon disaster recovery center opens BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com A disaster recovery center is temporarily open in Manning and another will open in Sumter next week to assist residents and businesses in applying for aid as a result of damage and losses sustained from Hurricane Matthew. The Clarendon County center will be open today and Saturday and is located at Clarendon County Community Complex, 7 Maple St., Manning. Hours of operation are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Sumter County center will be open next week and will be located at Cherryvale Community Center, 4340 Confederate Road. Hours of operation will be from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. Representatives from the state government, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Small Business Ad-

LOCAL & STATE BRIEFS

ministration and other public and private agencies will be at the center to explain disaster assistance programs and assist with applications for aid, according to a news release. Deadline to apply for aid from FEMA and SBA is Dec. 13. Federal and state disaster assistance for eligible individuals can include grants for essential home repairs for primary residences, temporary rental assistance and help with other serious disaster-related losses not covered by insurance, said Alberto A. Pilot, FEMA spokesman. Help may also be available for renters for temporary assistance, and personal property lost during the hurricane. Individuals whose vehicles were damaged or destroyed in the hurricane are also available for assistance. The U.S. Small Business Administration provides long-term low-interest disaster recovery loans for disaster sur-

vivors, including homeowners, renters and businesses, said Clara King, SBA public affairs specialist. The SBA loans include interest rates of 1.6 percent for homeowners and 4 percent to 6 percent for businesses, King said. Repayment could be extended up to 30 years, she said. It’s not necessary to visit a center to register for and receive state or federal disaster assistance; the application can be completed online. If possible, however, individuals should register with FEMA before visiting a recovery center. Businesses should also first register with FEMA, even if they need to apply for an SBA loan, according to King. More than 41,000 requests for assistance have been approved by FEMA throughout the state, totaling $30.5 million in funds, Pilot said. SBA has approved a total of $18 million for state residents, he said.

To register, go to www.disasterassistance.gov or call the FEMA helpline at (800) 621-3362. Help is available in most languages, and phone lines are open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week until further notice. Disaster survivors who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability and use a teletypewriter may call (800) 462-7585 to register. Those who use Video Relay Services or require accommodations while visiting a center, may call (800) 621-3362. All disaster recovery centers are accessible and equipped with tools to accommodate disaster survivors who need disability-related communication aids. For information on SBA disaster recovery loans call (800) 659-2955 or (800) 877-8339 or go online to www.SBA.gov/ disaster. An application for an SBA disaster recovery loan may be completed online at www.disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

Judge keeps Dylann Roof hearing closed CHARLESTON — Families of nine black worshippers killed in a Charleston church got a chance Thursday to air concerns about the case to a federal judge, who reaffirmed his decision to keep defendant Dylann Roof’s competency hearing on Monday closed to the public. The hearing will include extensive statements made by Roof that might not be allowed at his death penalty trial. But they could find their way to jurors and taint their view of the defendant just days before jury selection is set to begin, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said.

Personal Teller Machine aids Continental workers FROM STAFF REPORTS The Sumter tire production facility of Continental Tire the Americas is the newest site for a SAFE Federal Credit Union interactive video kiosk Personal Teller Machine. The machines are like ATMs but also allow credit union members to interact with a live teller via a video screen and audio connection, similar to a Skype call. The teller is several miles away at SAFE headquarters. Users can conduct most any transac-

tion typically handled at a credit union branch via the PTM. When SAFE placed the PTM at the plant, Continental became the first manufacturing facility in the nation to host one of the NCR-made PTM’s onsite. SAFE has also been designated the preferred direct deposit institution for Continental Tire employees. “The nearest SAFE branch is several miles away, and it isn’t always easy for workers to do their banking during their workday,” said Michael Baker,

vice president of operations for SAFE. “With this PTM right there in the plant cafeteria, banking is no longer a challenge.” Angela Sieber, Sumter plant operations coordinator for Continental, originally set out to arrange to have an ATM placed in the cafeteria for employees’ convenience. “As we looked into this, we saw that SAFE could provide us something much better than a traditional ATM, with a good relationship as a bonus,” Sieber said.

Prosecutor says no reasonable officer would have killed Castile ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Prosecutors say that when Philando Castile was pulled over in July, he calmly told the officer he had a gun and was licensed to carry it. Moments later, the officer fired shots, and a bleeding Castile’s last words were: “I wasn’t reaching for it.” On Wednesday, that officer was charged with second-degree manslaughter after an investigation by prosecutors, who concluded that Jeronimo Yanez was wrong to use his weapon in the traffic stop. Castile’s girlfriend streamed his final gruesome moments live on Facebook. “No reasonable officer, knowing, seeing and hearing what officer Yanez did at the time, would’ve used deadly force under these circumstances,” Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said. Prosecutors believe Castile never tried to pull his handgun from his pocket, and Yanez’s unreasonable fear did not justify the shooting, Choi said. If convicted, the officer could face up to 10 years in prison. Diamond Reynolds was sitting next to her boyfriend in the car. She said he was shot repeatedly as he reached for his ID after telling Yanez about the weapon and the gun permit. Yanez, who worked in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Anthony, is scheduled to make his first court appearance today. His attorney, Tom Kelly, has said Yanez, who is Latino, was reacting to the presence of a gun. Kelly has also said that one reason Yanez made the stop was because he thought Castile looked like a possible match for an armed robbery suspect. Choi said Wednesday that Castile was not a suspect in that robbery. Castile’s relatives have said they believe the 32-year-old elementary school cafeteria worker was racially profiled. Castile’s mother, Valerie Castile, said her family was pleased with the charge. “It is necessary for everyone to understand that we want peace,” she said. “We don’t want any protests to get outrageous.”

A memorial, including a photo of Philando Castile, adorns the gate to the governor’s residence where protesters are demonstrating in St. Paul, Minnesota, against the July 6 shooting death of Castile by St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez during a traffic stop. Castile’s shooting prompted numerous protests, including a demonstration outside the governor’s mansion that went on for weeks and one protest that shut down Interstate 94 in St. Paul for hours. The interstate protest resulted in about 50 arrests and injuries to more than 20 officers who were hit with cement chunks, bottles and rocks. About 100 protesters gathered early Wednesday evening outside the JJ Hill Montessori School in St. Paul where Castile was a longtime cafeteria worker. Some carried signs that read “No Justice, No Peace” and “Black Lives Matter.” The group said they would continue to advocate for justice until the case is resolved.

Drone just misses plane near Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shard LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A drone just missed hitting an A320 plane flying above the Shard skyscraper in central London in July â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of several nearmisses involving passenger jets in Britain, a new report said. The plane was approaching Heathrow Airport on July 18 and flying at nearly 5,000 feet when the pilot spotted a 20inch drone off the right flight deck window. The UK Airprox Board report says â&#x20AC;&#x153;chance played a major partâ&#x20AC;? in avoiding a collision and called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very near-miss.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crew estimated it probably passed above the right wing and horizontal stabilizer,â&#x20AC;? the report said. The review published last week cited several safety incidents in Britain involving drones during summer, including a near-miss on July 12 with an A319 passenger plane at Liverpool Airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The captain noticed a large black-and-yellow drone in the right 2 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock position,â&#x20AC;? the report said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the A319 climbed through the droneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level, it passed down the right side, about 5 (meters) from the wingtip.â&#x20AC;? The incidents underscored

the fears of many aviation experts about the growing popularity of drones and their danger to planes. Under British rules, a drone operator must be able to see the drone at all times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so such a flight above the Shard would be too high for an operator on the ground to see the drone and thus illegal. Drone operators are also supposed to keep them away from planes, helicopters, airports and airfields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proliferation of (small unmanned aircraft) and the difficulty in policing the regulations in terms of operating areas and altitudes, continues to raise considerable concern within the military flying community,â&#x20AC;? the report said, adding that while the police were notified, â&#x20AC;&#x153;unless the drone operator is found at the time of occurrence, little can be done.â&#x20AC;? In another incident, the report said a pilot on an A319 plane making an approach to Heathrow watched a DJI Phantom drone pass within 100 yards of the left-hand side of the aircraft. The pilot said he recognized the drone â&#x20AC;&#x153;because his son had the very same model.â&#x20AC;? A King Air pilot conducting

training also spotted a drone in the radar pattern of RAR Cranwell near a windfarm. Near Oxford, a DA42 pilot had to bank 30 degrees to avoid hitting a square fourprop drone flying at 2,300 feet and going in the opposite direction. The review also said another A320 pilot descending to Heathrow on July 16 spotted a drone that passed just above the plane to the left. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how many drones are operating in Britain, as small drones bought for private use often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be registered. Experts at an aerospace research firm, The Teal Group, estimate there are several million drones in the United States alone.

By J. Whitsed National Media Syndicate NMSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A pill that restores a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex drive and triggers strong, long lasting erections without side effects has been used in China for 63 years. It is now available in the United States. This amazing pill contains ingredients that not only resolve sexual health problems in men, but also boost lost testosterone levels in the body. It also cuts your sex pill costs up to 82% less than using medications like Viagra. An improved version of this pill is now being offered in the United States by the American Institute of Longevity under the brand name Viotren. Viotren restores male libido levels. It relieves performance anxiety. It triggers powerful erections that are easier and faster to achieve, too. It even contains an ingredient that â&#x20AC;&#x153;switches offâ&#x20AC;? the chemical in a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body that causes his erections to go soft. Viotren is also safe and good for your overall health. It does not cause harmful side effects associated with Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis.

Triggers a massive release of testosterone in the body Viotren contains ingredients that trigger a massive release of testosterone in the body. As a result, your sex drive is quickly restored. So is your ability to get and maintain an erection. Men taking Viotren report being more easily aroused. They also report being more passionate during love making. The pill improves muscle strength, energy levels, and physical stamina, too. Kiernan Mills, Director of the American Institute of Longevity said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The origin of Viotren is in ancient Oriental medicine. Scientists now know that there are many remedies from Oriental medicine that are proving very effective in clinical studies.â&#x20AC;? This particular Oriental remedy was brought to market commercially by a Chinese pharmaceutical company in 1953. But they took it a step further. They took the ingredients in the remedy that WULJJHUHG WKH DPD]LQJ VH[XDO EHQHÂżWV LQ men and they put them into a pill. When the pill absorbs into the body, the ingredients are released into the blood where they begin restoring testosterone and libido levels. The American Institute of Longevity has developed an improved pill which includes more potent and faster absorbing forms of each ingredient. The former pill, while incredibly effective, was slower to work in the body.

Not only is Viotren safe to use, but, it also helps to improve blood circulation throughout the body. This further improves your ability to get an erection

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 68 years old and I have been suffering from erection problems for the past 10 years. Up until now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only used Viagra which is very expensive and gives me terrible headaches. Viotren has worked great for me. I wish I had known testosterone was my problem years ago. My erections are strong like before and the stress of not being able to perform is gone. I really love this pill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jack Yates.

My doctor told me prescription drugs were the only answer, but I did not want to go down that route. Now when I feel my erections are not as strong as they should be, or I lose desire for sex, I begin taking Viotren. Within a few days, as reliable as clockwork, everything returns to normal and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to function like I used to as a younger man. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Henry Blubaugh.

I had lost all interest in sex with my wife and was feeling guilty over it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married for 32 years and things just became a little boring in the bedroom. I tried Viotren and was shocked at my results. Within just a few days, my desire for sex returned. I also have more energy for sex. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more passionate. My wife doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what has come over me, but we are both delighted. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Garland

SCIENCE Call: (803) 774-1201

Pluto’s frozen heart may hide an area of underground ocean BY MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Evidence is mounting for an ocean at Pluto, buried beneath its frozen heart. Scientists said Wednesday that Pluto may have rolled over on its axis eons ago, the result of tidal forces with jumbo moon Charon. The extra weight of an underground sea is the most likely explanation, they said. These latest findings are based on observations by NASA’s New Horizons, which made an unprecedented flyby of Pluto last year. The spacecraft is now 365 million miles from Pluto and en route to a 2019 close approach of another faraway orb. Published in this week’s journal Nature, the studies focus on a 600-mile basin in the left lobe of Pluto’s heartshaped region. This basin is known as Sputnik Planitia, named after the Russian satellite that launched the Space Age in 1957. Sputnik Planitia is aligned

with Pluto’s tidal axis, so much so that it’s unlikely to be coincidence, according to the researchers. More likely, the nitrogen ice-coated basin has extra mass — below the surface — to cause Pluto to reorient itself and have Sputnik Planitia on the opposite side of the dwarf planet as Charon. “It’s a big elliptical hole in the ground, so the extra weight must be hiding somewhere beneath the surface. And an ocean is a natural way to get that,” lead author Francis Nimmo of the University of California, Santa Cruz, said in a statement. Nimmo suspects the ocean is primarily water with some ammonia or other “antifreeze” thrown in. Slow refreezing of this ocean would conceivably crack the planet’s shell — a scenario consistent with photos taken by New Horizons. Subsurface oceans may also be on other similarly sized worlds orbiting in the Kuiper Belt, a so-called twilight zone on the fringes of our solar system, according

This image made available by NASA in 2015 shows a combination of images captured by the New Horizons spacecraft with enhanced colors to show differences in the composition and texture of Pluto’s surface. On Wednesday, scientists said that Pluto may have rolled over on its axis eons ago, the result of tidal forces with jumbo moon Charon, and that a subsurface sea is the most likely explanation.

to Nimmo. “They may be equally interesting, not just frozen snowballs,” he noted. New Horizons is managed from Johns Hopkins University. Close to the sun, meanwhile, Mercury has a big new valley. Scientists attribute surface buckling, caused by global contraction.

The valley is more than 600 miles long, 250 miles wide and 2 miles deep. A research team led by Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, discovered the valley from images taken by NASA’s Messenger spacecraft. The spacecraft orbited Mercury for four years before crashing delib-

erately into the innermost planet last year. Earth has experienced this type of buckling, involving both oceanic and continental plates, Watters said. “But this may be the first evidence” of it on Mercury, he noted. This Great Valley, as it’s known, was revealed Wednesday. The study was published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.

DIY breast reconstruction Medical device lets women begin procedure at home BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

can’t stand it anymore,’” said Dr. Daniel Jacobs, a Kaiser Permanente plastic surgeon in San Jose, California. While biking home one day, Jacobs had an idea: Why couldn’t a tiny can of compressed gas, like the one he carries to fix a flat tire, be used to let women inflate their own tissue expanders, a little each day so there is less stretching at a time and less pain? He helped found a company — AirXpanders Inc. of Palo Alto, California — to develop the device, called AeroForm. It’s sold in Australia, approved in Europe and under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Its use requires no special training, wires or tubes — just a palm-sized remote control that activates a tiny cartridge inside the pouch to pump gas, up to three times a day according to how the woman feels. In a company-sponsored study of 150 women, AeroForm patients finished tissue expansion in half the time and were able to get implants

This might be the ultimate do-it-yourself project: Doctors are testing a device that would let women do part of their own breast reconstruction at home. It’s aimed at not only making treatment more comfortable and convenient, but also giving women a sense of control — something cancer often takes away. More than 100,000 women each year in the United States have surgery to remove a cancerous breast, and many of them choose reconstruction with an implant. To make room for a permanent one, many of them get a tissue expander, a temporary pouch that is gradually enlarged with saline to stretch the remaining skin and muscle. This means trips to the doctor every week or two for several months for injections of saline into the pouch, which can be a painful ordeal. “We would put as much saline as we could until basically the patient would say, ‘I

a month sooner than others who had the usual saline treatments, said the study leader, Dr. Jeffrey Ascherman, a plastic surgeon at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia Medical Center in New York. “My patients love it,” he said. When some women who agreed to be in the study learned they had been assigned to get the saline device for comparison, “I had one who started crying, and other women said, ‘please Dr. Ascherman, can’t you change it?’” he said. There was no difference in rates of side-effects such as infections, but seven of the air expanders malfunctioned versus only one saline device, Ascherman said. The device was tweaked to fix the problem, he said. “It’s a really interesting concept,” said one outside expert, Dr. Deanna Attai, a University of California, Los Angeles, surgeon who is a past president of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. “Giving the patient a sense of control is very psychologically important,” because many

I could go back to normal. I could see the results right away, and I could see where I wanted it to go” in terms of size and appearance, she said. The device comes in three sizes. Women can choose the amount of inflation up to a point, limited by how much tissue is left and how far the device can expand. Once fully expanded, the device is removed and replaced with a breast implant.

women feel robbed of that, Attai said. “To a patient that’s going through cancer treatment that could be a big deal.” Dr. Susan E. Downey, a Los Angeles plastic surgeon who used the AeroForm on two patients in the study, said: “I think it will make life easier for a lot of people.” It did for 35-year-old Luincys Fernandez, a high school chemistry teacher who lives in Bogota, New Jersey. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago and used the AeroForm as part of the study. “I really, really liked it,” she said. She carried the remote

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man who authorities say attempted to use Cheetos to accelerate a fire at his ex-girlfriend’s home while she was inside has been convicted of malicious destruction of property. The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office says a jury convicted 31-year-old Shemroy Williams, of Taunton, on Wednesday. He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars. Crews responded to a home

in March after the woman and her friend reported that Williams was trying to light it on fire. Authorities say an investigation revealed Williams wedged a propane tank against the house while a fire on the back porch was burning. Police say they located Williams in the area with two lighters in his pocket and an empty bag of Cheetos. Investigators determined Williams tried to use Cheetos to accelerate the fire.

TECH FROM PAGE A1 want our students to be 21st entury technology leaders,” Laws said. According to Laws, a “transformation” in the classroom of this magnitude takes time and must be implemented in phases. Initially, all district teachers and staff were provided professional development in Google Apps For Education (GAFE), which is the overarching learning management system used in the classroom. That and other technology-integration training continues. “For teachers, this will eventually transform how they use their instruc-

FLU FROM PAGE A1 during their winter. “That is how they identify strains and build our vaccines,” she said. “The vaccines change every year.” This year, the vaccines protect against Influenza A (H1N1), Influenza A (H3N2) and one or two of the Influenza B viruses, depending on whether it is a quadrivalent or trivalent vaccine, Overman said. “We have three that are quadrivalent, which means it immunizes against four different strains of flu,” Overman said, “and we have one that is a trivalent vaccine, and this is the Fluzone HighDose for individuals 65 years of age and older.” According to the CDC, Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus, while Influenza B viruses are not divided into subtypes but can be broken down into lineages and strains. One thing that is not recommended this year is the nasal-spray vaccine. “Evidently, they did some research following them over a couple of years, and they determined the rate of coverage for that particular vaccine was not what they want to see,” she said. She said finding a place to get the vaccine is easier than ever, but for those who are not vaccinated, avoiding the

book, pencil and paper. With the increased rigor, it requires more skills on the part of the students — the same type skills we talk about using in a 21st century global workforce.” Moving forward this school year, Laws and his staff will more precisely measure how students use technology in the classroom by a specific model that gauges their use of additional technical applications, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets and sharing and collaborating on documents with other students on Google Drive. The end result of this student-centered learning with Google applications is the assignment or project is completed in a way that couldn’t be achieved in the traditional manner with a textbook, paper,

tional time,” Laws said. “Maximizing technology usage in the classroom takes a lot more planning, but it will increase student engagement. If we increase rigor and increase engagement, then increased student achievement and decreased student disruption will follow.” Laws, his staff and the classroom teachers emphasized the tools help teachers facilitate the process where students must think critically, an important skill-set in today’s workforce. “The technology tools help teachers engage students in learning,” Laws said. “For example, the ability to do research online in a moment’s notice — beyond what you could do with a

disease mainly involves cough hygiene and hand hygiene, Overman said. “If you are ill, certainly staying home is the best thing to do until you are not ill anymore,” she said. “Then return to work or return to school.” That helps protect everybody, she said. “If you are the one that’s sick, when you cough or sneeze, you can cough into the crook of your elbow or into a tissue and then throw the tissue away,” Overman recommended. “Make sure that if you are sneezing or coughing that you are washing your hands regularly.” The flu usually spreads through water droplets people exhale when they sneeze or cough, she said, but it can also be spread by touching someone’s hands. Overman said she has known people who will quit shaking hands during a bad flu season. “They might do the elbow bump or something like that to try to limit the potential spread of germs that way,” she said. “I used to do the elbow bumping; you look like you’re a chicken flapping your wings,” she said. Staying home if you are sick is the best way to prevent the spread of flu, Overman said. “I know it’s a challenge for kids in school or parents who are working, but it’s the best

pencil and a teacher’s lecture. “The goal of the technology usage is for students to be problem-solving, hypothesizing, drawing conclusions and becoming fully engaged in their own learning,” Law said. “The classroom teacher just gives the prompt and becomes a facilitator.” Laws said next school year he’s hoping funding will be available for an additional 5,000 Chromebooks so all K-12 students can be connected to “a global opportunity of learning.” “In these two years, Sumter School District has accomplished what generally takes a district five years to achieve,” Laws said. “If we can have Chromebooks for all students next year, that will be pretty incredible.”

alternative even if you did get a shot,” she said. “If you’re sick, stay home.” Epidemiologists also pay attention to what they call “influenza-like illnesses,” or ILI, she said, which are cases where somebody has the symptoms of flu, but it could be caused by something else. “They may not necessarily get tested for flu or they are tested and are negative, but we are not sure,” she said. Overman said the DHEC website (www.scdhec.gov) and the CDC website (www.cdc. gov) are important sources of information for anyone wanting more information on the flu.

Former ‘Top Gear’ host has new gig with ‘Grand Tour’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Jeremy Clarkson, the former host of BBC’s “Top Gear,” hosts “The Grand Tour” (TV-14), a weekly travel series with an accent on expensive cars now streaming on Amazon Prime. Clarkson, who was fired from the BBC for physically assaulting a producer, will be joined by Richard Hammond and James May, both from his former series. Cars also loom large on tonight’s “Last Man Standing” (8 p.m., ABC). Jay Leno returns as Joe, a car-obsessive who bids against Mike for a coveted vehicle. • One of the more amusing and amazing phenomena of popular culture is the ability of Adam Sandler movies to annoy critics yet appeal to audiences. At least enough of an audience for him to make more critically savaged comedies. Sandler’s popularity was noticed by Netflix. That company, first known for DVD rentals and then streaming, is uniquely equipped to see what its customers like. And they must like Sandler enough for the company to justify a 2014 four-picture deal with the actor. Cable broadcasters also keep

Sandler movies in steady rotation. Tonight, there are four airing in prime time alone. The 1998 sports comedy “The Waterboy” (7 p.m., Spike) was described as both “dumb” and “pretty funny” by Manohla Dargis, writing in L.A. Weekly. But a Washington Post reviewer described Sandler’s character as “a cretinous, grating loser.” And that was during a period when Sandler movies were better received. By 2012, his comedy “That’s My Boy” (8 p.m., FXM) received a terrible 20 percent “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes and sparked controversy for trivializing themes of statutory rape, incest and child neglect. The 2006 fantasy comedy “Click” (10:15 p.m., FXM) scored slightly better (32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), but was dismissed as gruesomely unoriginal. And the critical consensus for his 1999 effort “Big Daddy” (10 p.m., Lifetime) was a thumbs-down for its awkward blend of gross-out humor and cheap sentiment. The movies Sandler has churned out for Netflix have had critics scrambling for new adjectives. Or perhaps more room at the bottom of

the barrel. “The Do-Over,” starring Sandler and David Spade, got a 5 percent rotten ranking on Rotten Tomatoes. Sandler’s “The Ridiculous Six” set some kind of record, receiving a Rotten Tomatoes score of zero. • The UP Network anticipates Thanksgiving with a 153-hour marathon of “Gilmore Girls,” airing seasons one through seven. The marathon starts at 6 p.m. and runs till 3 a.m. next Friday, Nov. 25. Netflix will air “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” an update/reunion that unfolds over four 90-minute episodes, debuting next Friday. Today, Netflix debuts “Divines,” about a teen girl’s survival in a drug-ridden city. The film won the Camera d’Or prize for best first feature film at the Cannes Film Festival.

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Dark clouds gather before the papal visit on “The Exorcist” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14). • Rebecca thinks twice about Valencia on “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (9 p.m., CW, TV-14). • “Alan Cumming Sings Sappy

BBC reanimates missing 1966 ‘Doctor Who’ classic BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH In popular culture, sometimes the relative value of something does not emerge until decades later. Originally aired in 1966, “Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks” (8:25 p.m. Saturday, BBC America, TVPG) is said to be one of the more cherished episodes of the long-running cult series. But the videotape of the episode was tossed out in something the network refers to as an “archive purge” in 1974. An audiotape survived, allowing the missing episode to be reanimated in black and white, hand-drawn style. This cartoon revival digs deep into the history of the beloved series. It takes place immediately after the regeneration of the First Doctor, William Hartnell, into the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, and follows the Time Lord (Troughton) and his companions, Polly (Anneke Wills) and Ben (Michael Craze), as they take on old enemies on the planet Vulcan while simultaneously adjusting to a new Doctor. The black-and-white animation does a good job of evoking mid-20th century television. I half-wished it had been re-created in the “Supermarionation” style of the old “Thunderbirds.” But that might seem sacrilegious to true “Doctor Who” fans. The “Daleks” episode is hardly the only artifact of TV pop culture to end up in a landfill. Storage of old episodes used to take up a great deal of space and require careful archiving. To business-minded people it might have seemed like an expensive proposition, particularly to save something like television entertainment seen in the predigital, or pre-VCR era, as something of fleeting and ephemeral value. Even a series as popular and star-studded as “The Tonight Show” was considered a throwaway. Very few episodes of the Johnny Carson series from before the 1970s still exist. News footage, shot largely on film before the mid1970s, became a massive storage problem and was frequently purged. People did not value this footage at the time, nor did they foresee a day when it

would be valued, not to mention easily stored. • Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah host The American Music Awards (8 p.m. Sunday, ABC). Look and listen for performances by Bruno Mars, Sting, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Twenty One Pilots, James Bay, Fifth Harmony, The Chainsmokers and Halsey. For the historical record, these awards began in 1973, not so much as a music industry event, but as the result of a TV phenomenon. ABC had just lost its rights to the broadcast of the Grammy Awards and needed something to air in its place. So Dick Clark Productions came up with the AMAs. • While most programmers turn Thanksgiving week over to marathons and binging opportunities, two networks go against the grain. TNT launches season three of the goofy fantasy “The Librarians” (8 p.m. Sunday, TV-PG). Noah Wyle, who starred in the three televised film versions of “The Librarians” from 2004-8, serves as an executive producer on this series, which has aired since 2014. Showtime’s “The Affair” (10

p.m. Sunday, TV-MA) also returns for a third season. Beautifully produced and featuring a stellar cast, this topnotch drama has always seemed a tad grimmer than it should have been, particularly in a television environment crowded with choices. There’s a difference between a serious show and a show that takes itself too seriously.

SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS • Time-traveling turkeys plot to change a holiday tradition in the animated 2013 comedy “Free Birds” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-PG), featuring the voices of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler, George Takei and Colm Meaney. • History between a bride and her intended’s best friend results in more than awkward moments in the 2016 shocker “Nightmare Wedding” (8 p.m., Lifetime). • Rosamund Pike, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Michael McIntyre and Coldplay appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (10 p.m., BBC America, TV14). • A return to the wild does not go entirely smoothly on

ALLYSON WARD RIGGS / TNT

Rebecca Romijn stars as Col. Eve Baird and Noah Wyle as Flynn Carsen in the season three premiere episode of “The Librarians,” airing at 8 p.m. on Sunday. “Project Grizzly” (10 p.m., Animal Planet). • Henriette’s negotiations loom large on “Versailles” (10 p.m., Ovation, TV-MA).

SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS • Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (7:30 p.m., CBS): U.S.-Turkey relations; soccer’s gender gap; a profile of Bruno Mars. • The Washington Redskins

(The fare would have cost them thousands of dollars retail.) The only thing I asked in return was to pick me up a menu, a print or something small that could be packed easily. They were in Paris for a month, Abby, and they totally forgot me. I am so hurt. Sometimes I want to call them and tell them how I feel. What is

the best way to handle this? Up in the air DEAR UP IN THE AIR — I don't blame you for being angry about the thoughtlessness and ingratitude they displayed. Your feelings are justified, and you should clear the air by explaining that you were hurt. You have every right to tell your friend how you feel. And the next time you are asked to give them a free ride, you have every right to just say "non." DEAR ABBY — I'm hoping you can guide me on how to handle a sticky situation with my neighbors. My 9-year-old son has befriended a kid his age. The boy is nice and I don't mind him coming over. However, he has a younger brother the parents always send with him, and the boy is very hyper and aggres-

sive. I work full time as a behavior specialist and deal with hyperactive children all day. The last thing I want when I come home is a hyper child I cannot parent. My son recently invited his friend to sleep over, and the parents sent both boys. How do I let them know that sometimes just the older brother is welcome without hurting their feelings? Not wanting to offend DEAR NOT WANTING — Hurting their feelings? The parents are using your invitations to the older boy as a baby-sitting opportunity for the younger one. I don't think it would be rude to tell them you can handle only one child at a time, and to please refrain from sending the little brother to your home unless he is specifically invited.

COMMENTARY

Anti-Christian bigotry helped elect Trump

ast week, my friends and former colleagues at the Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit against the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The facts of the case aren’t terribly exciting: The university, like many universities, has a mandatory “service learning” program that requires students to perform 30 hours of community service, and it uses the proDavid gram as a French thinly disguised means of astroturfing student activism. The program specifically encourages students to work with “public interest” organizations, political campaigns, “environmental action” groups, and other nonprofits — but it doesn’t grant credit to students for promoting “religious doctrine” or “proselytizing.” In other words, students can and do promote ideological, cultural, or political causes, but they cannot promote their religious faith. Two students who’d performed dozens of hours of service at Catholic parishes, teaching children about the basics of the Catholic faith, church history, and morality filed suit, noting that they would have received credit for the same services if performed in a non-religious context. The case is now pending in federal court. As such cases go, this one is small, with facts not nearly as lurid as any one of the dozens of lawsuits filed against colleges, universities, and municipalities in the last decade. But it’s perfectly emblematic of the way that secular-progressive America now operates. When it can, it will single out Christian individuals and institutions and make their lives that much more difficult — denying job opportunities, imposing hopelessly twisted double standards, and subjecting them to one-sided, Byzantine regulatory retribution. It’s easy to identify the few lawsuits that get media attention, but there are dozens — even hundreds — of others across the country that go unnoticed. There is a pervasive feeling among American Christians that secular progressives will actively seek out new and creative ways to persecute and marginalize them. Millions of American Christians understand that if you work for a state or local governments — or even for private companies — publicly vocalizing traditional Christian views of sexual morality can cost you your job, even as outspoken support for radically new sexual morality is lauded. If you start a Christian group on campus, administrators by the hundreds will deem you “discriminatory” and “bigoted” for daring to assert that it should be run by Christians. Meanwhile, liberal activist groups operate with impunity, often coordinating their wellfunded efforts with university administrators and faculty. If you attend a Christian college, secular-progressive academic regulators may well pressure your university to break with Christian orthodoxy as a condition of receiving state funds or even of maintaining accreditation. If you’re a Christian who runs a business, you’re exactly one decision or one statement away not just from vicious social-media shame campaigns and boycotts but also from

vengeful state action that could close your store and bankrupt your family. If you’re a Christian applying for a job in higher education, you can expect doors to be slammed in your face, lessqualified candidates to enjoy greater opportunities, and hostile faculties and administrations to sometimes ask probing or even illegal questions about your “bigotry.” In short, orthodox Christians feel as if they’re under cultural and legal siege because they are. Sixteen years ago, when I first starting defending religious liberty and free speech on college campuses, I would speak at churches and describe a mindset in which campus administrators and activists actively compared faithful-Christian student groups to the Ku Klux Klan. Audiences shook their heads in disbelief. They couldn’t imagine such a hysterical onslaught, and it felt distant, removed from their daily lives. No one shakes their head now. And with all the social pressures on the left driving Democratic politicians to evermore-vicious acts of religious persecution, the election of 2016 presented conservative Christians with nothing but terrible options: Vote for an immoral man who might help, vote for an immoral woman who will try to hurt, or vote for someone decent who can’t win. Make no mistake, Donald Trump is president-elect in part because Evangelicals gave him their votes by a record margin. The lesson here is clear: When the Left comprehensively and enthusiastically attacks millions of Americans, it forfeits any and all ability to reach those Americans for any purpose, much less to earn their votes. Ironically enough, however, the short-term result of the election is likely to be an increase in religious persecution. While the Obama administration was hostile to religious liberty, the overwhelming majority of lawless acts occur in the deep-blue urban and cultural centers that are most enraged by the Trump win and are responding with sheer panic and fury. While some thoughtful leftists are opening their hearts to the need for greater tolerance and understanding, others are busy comparing Trump voters to lynch mobs, doing their best to poison a new generation of Americans against the church. There is no easy way out of this escalating culture war. To the secular left, Trump’s election proves that Evangelicals don’t mean what they say about character, sexual morality, and love for their neighbors. The distraught Evangelical voter responds that liberal bigotry forced him to vote for Trump, despite his many manifest failings. I may believe that Christians had better options, but I know that my own friends and neighbors disagreed. They in good faith believed that a vote for Trump was the only rational way to protect life and liberty. So, yes, leftist radicals are right when they say that “hate” helped turn the 2016 election. But it was their own malice and intolerance that proved decisive. They chant that “love trumps hate,” but in reality their hate sunk Hillary. They say a bigot is in the White House, but their own bigotry helped put him there. David French is an attorney, and a staff writer at National Review.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR SUPPORT CORLEY IN CITY’S 4TH WARD RUNOFF RACE I am writing to offer support for Dr. Steve Corley, candidate for Sumter City Council Ward 4 runoff election. I have known Dr. Corley for over 30 years, and I had the opportunity to work with him for many of those years. I have observed his actions in the workplace, in civic events and organizations, and in social situations. In all of these venues he has displayed the personal qualities which I most admire. He is a man of great intelligence, possesses a calm demeanor, and displays an extremely high moral character. Steve also possesses a high level of people skills, and he has always displayed the ability to work with all people on efforts to achieve objectives and to move forward. His knowledge of governmental organization and our American system of government is outstanding. He understands the process of how our government works and the necessity of using diplomacy in order to achieve goals. This knowledge will help him be successful on Sumter City Council. It will also enable our city to move forward and continue to grow in the best possible way. In closing, I believe Dr. Corley has the leadership skills that our city wants and needs. He will work for the betterment of all citizens of all backgrounds, while displaying great common sense and making intelligent decisions. Please vote for and support Dr. Steve Corley for Sumter City Council, Ward 4. W. RUTLEDGE DINGLE Mayesville

KEEPING COMMANDMENTS WILL CHANGE AMERICA I have been reading Hosea, from our Bible. Although the passage is talking about Israel, I can see that it applies to America. Hosea 4:1-2 says, “There is no faithfulness, no kindness, no knowledge of God in your land. You curse and lie and kill and steal and commit adultery. There is violence everywhere, with one murder after another.” After praying for over four years, God finally answered my prayers in the way I wanted Him to. Thank you God.

Now, maybe our country can settle down and get back to believing “In God we trust.” Having other gods that some think can bring them temporary happiness, are looking for just that, something temporary. The real God is forever. Taking God’s name in vain has become an everyday occurrence and not observing the Sabbath is just as frequent. Young people, as well as others, don’t even know what honoring their parents means. We have become a dysfunctional society with little good wisdom. Killing others seems to be OK with some people. Some lives matter more to them than others. Respect for police officers doesn’t exist for them. All life is important. Committing adultery needs to be defined. Being true to the one you are with seems to have been lost in today’s culture. It has a ripple effect. Stealing, there’s a joke. “Don’t steal, the government hates competition!” Then again, it may not be a joke. Thanks to whoever stole hundreds of TrumpPence signs. That helped to elect them because it shows how desperate some people’s ideas are. Bearing false witness against someone seems to be the order of the day. Do we even know when we are lying? Knowing what truth is, and then saying it, is the right thing to do. Coveting someone else’s stuff has a become a way of life for some. If you want it, just take it. If you didn’t work for it, or come in possession of it legally, then it isn’t yours. Coveting leads to evil actions. Did you recognize the 10 Commandments? Knowing them and obeying them will change you and America. God Bless America! JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

REPAIRING HOMES WILL IMPROVE TEST SCORES I read with interest the dialogue between School board member Rev. Canty and superintendent Baker. No one will disagree with Rev. Canty that “We in Sumter want to get to the top of South Carolina. … If we are going to compete in the global market, we must come out of the high school ready to go.”

Blaming the low scores on the teachers and administration with the lack of accountability is an easy target. Analogy: Nick Saban is arguably the best coach in all of college football. He is in that situation because he has excellent coaches (teachers) and he is able to recruit 5 star athletes from all over the U.S. This combination leads to excellence and national championships. I would argue that you could place Coach Saban and his staff at Vanderbilt but limit him to Vanderbilt’s pool of players and recruits and Nick Saban would rather quickly sink to mediocrity — same coach,different players, bottom third. Sumter School District cannot recruit 5 star students nor get rid of zero star students. They are dealt a pool of students that reflect a cross section of the Sumter community. When we scream about declining scores and education, we are talking about a symptom, not a cause. Every study I have read explains that there is a direct correlation between poor academic achievement and single-parent homes. Singleparent homes are also linked to higher rates of crime and drug use by the children. It would be interesting to pull out the top 10 percent academically in our public schools to get a composite picture of what that student looks like. What do they look like? What do they wear? How do they talk? What are their study habits? Where do the sit in the class room? What are their goals? What does their family unit look like? Then we have a model or goal to emulate. I’m with you, Rev. Canty, in your statements, but until the people in our community can largely come from Goddesigned families (and you know this Reverend Canty) which include: 1. Courtship; 2. Marriage; 3. Having jobs that allow for caring and nurturing of children; and 4. Having children — IN THAT ORDER — we will continue to see the fruits of the “modern” family. I wish it were as easy as blasting the teachers and administrators but we must fix the broken dam before we can ever recover from the flood. WALLIE JONES Sumter

Marquee opener Sumter faces Lexington, last year’s 4A Division II state runner-up, in first round of 5A state playoffs

Monarchs bury loss, focus on next game MHS faces Georgetown in return to playoffs BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com

Sumter High School running back Rodney Pitts (21) and the 9-1 Gamecocks open the 5A state playoffs today at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium against Lexington, which was the 4A Division II state runner-up last season.

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com While Lexington High School is just 5-5 on the season and comes into the 5A state playoffs on a 3-game losing streak, Sumter head coach Mark Barnes could think of a few other teams he would prefer his Gamecocks to play in the first round. The Wildcats, who will travel to Sumter Memorial Stadium for today’s

7:30 p.m. contest, played for the 4A Division II state title last season. “Winners know how to win and they’re winners,” Barnes said of LHS. “They are not going to go down easy. There are a lot of teams I’d rather play than them. They’ve got players on that team who’ve experienced winning at the highest levels. “I expect it to be a close game. We’re going to have to play well.” Playing well is what SHS has done

pretty well coming down the home stretch of the regular season, especially on defense. Sumter brings a 9-1 record into the playoffs and went undefeated in winning Region VI for the second straight season. In regulation in its final four region contests, SHS has allowed just 27 points. That includes a 23-0 shutout of

Manning High School is in the 3A football state playoffs for the first time since 2012 and will play host to Georgetown today at 7:30 p.m. in its first-round game. However, the Monarchs come into the game off of a very tough 28-27 loss to Timberland. MHS scored a late touchdown — only to have the extra point atWEST tempt blocked as the Wolves secured the Region VII title. First-year Manning head coach Keith West doesn’t think his team will carry any lingering affects into today’s game. “Maybe we were a little down in the first practice on Monday, but we got our spirits up at that practice,” said West, who has guided the Monarchs to a 7-3 record entering the playoffs. “We did a lot of scrimmaging that first day to help them get it out of their systems. This team likes to scrimmage a lot. “I think that helped them out a lot and now they are ready to play.” West is happy with the season his team has had, but he wants it to realize there are more accolades available to them.

lost those two, and I think it took a little bit of pressure off of us. I don’t know if any loss is a blessing, but we seemed to play a little better after that.” REL, which returned seven starters on both sides of the ball and a host of upperclassmen with championship experience, hasn’t lost since. The Cavs, 11-2 on the season, rolled through the rest of their schedule, winning the Region II-2A title and back-toback home playoff games to clinch another shot at a state crown. They’ll face 9-2 First Baptist on Saturday at noon at

Benedict College’s Charlie W. Johnson Stadium in Columbia. In doing so, Robert E. Lee will also face a team that has traveled a familiar path to the title game — and one that’s very similar on the field. It’s the first state championship game appearance in First Baptist’s history, and the seeds can be traced back to a winless season three years ago, “We had been building to this,” third-year Hurricanes

Angels’ Trout, Cubs’ Bryant win MVP Awards BY JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO — While the Los Angeles Angels stumbled, Mike Trout soared again. Just too good to ignore. Trout won the AL MVP award Thursday for the second time in three years, and Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was voted NL MVP in balloting by the BaseFILE./THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ball Writers’ Association of Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, left, was selected as the Na- America. tional League’s Most Valuable Player on Thursday. Los Angeles Angel While the Angels finished Mike Trout is the AL MVP. fourth in the AL West, Trout

was his usual brilliant self. The center fielder batted .315 with 29 homers, 100 RBIs and 30 steals. He scored 17 percent of Los Angeles’ runs, the highest percentage for an AL player since Rickey Henderson with the 1985 New York Yankees. Trout, who was a unanimous winner in 2014, had finished second in three of the past four years. He becomes the first MVP from a losing team since Alex Rodriguez for Texas in 2003 and just the fifth player ever to accomplish the

feat, joining Hall of Famers Ernie Banks (1958 and 1959), Andre Dawson (1987) and Cal Ripken (1991). “It’s an unbelievable feeling,” Trout said. “Just trying to get better every year.” Bryant hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.

Edwards tries to put 2011 loss behind him BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Carl Edwards detests social media. He prefers his followers have sharpies and photos instead of egg avatars and his only “likes” are NASCAR victory celebrations. “I enjoy normal, social interaction,” Edwards said. “It’s hard once you get down the path of social media.” Edwards recalled a time his brother handed him a phone and insisted he read Brad Keselowski’s tweets. Keselowski, who has tweeted from his car during a race, was the first NASCAR media darling on the social network. He uses his 140-character forum as a bully pulpit, and Edwards was curious. “It was like a time warp,” he said. “I handed the phone back an hour later. I went across the entire Twitter-verse. I feel like life is short. I don’t want to spend it staring at my phone.” Edwards is willing to make a notable exception to his blackout and deal with the scrolling and trolling of the digital age under one condition: If he leaves Homestead-Miami Speedway as the champ. That’s right. Edwards will end his holdout and join Twitter should he win the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship. “I’ll no longer be Twitter-less Carl,” he said. NASCAR champ seems like a pretty cool line in a Twitter bio. The title has eluded Edwards in 12 full seasons at the Cup level. He finished third in his rookie season of 2005 and is a two-time series runner-up — though his stinging loss to Tony Stewart on a tiebreak in 2011 has gone down as the greatest finale finish in the

Chase era. The 37-year-old Edwards can ease some of that disappointment if he defeats six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, 2015 champ Kyle Busch and Joey Logano on Sunday and brings home the trophy for owner Joe Gibbs. The first to finish out of the four contenders is the 2016 champion. Under the best-finish format the last two years, Kevin Harvick and Busch did indeed clinch their championships with a victory at Homestead. The statistics say Edwards may have the best shot. He won Homestead in 2008 and 2010 and his 9.2 average finish at the track is the best of the four drivers. “This is the best opportunity I’ve had in a long time,” Edwards said. He’d have to stretch back five years for his head-tohead showdown with Stewart to find a better one. Edwards, then driving for Jack Roush, had seemingly checked all the boxes needed to win a championship. He started the race with a three-point lead in the standings, and did everything he could from the minute he arrived in Florida. His Roush Fenway Racing team put his Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the 267 laps and still finished second to Stewart. Stewart and Edwards finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings — a first in NASCAR history — and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards’ one. “Those couple of weeks leading up, I could tell Tony and those guys were on a roll,” Edwards said. “It was the most fun I’d had in racing since I’ve been in NASCAR. Everything we did, every lap, every qualifying session, every pit stop mattered. It was real easy to focus.”

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout won the American League MVP for the second time in three years.

MVP

FROM PAGE B1 of the year and MVP in one or consecutive seasons. “Kris is just an impressive young man in every aspect,” Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said. “(He) is very mature, professional, lighthearted, but serious at the same time. He’s just kind of a dream player for any organization.” The Las Vegas native is the first NL MVP from the Cubs since Sammy Sosa in 1998 and the seventh overall for the once-forlorn franchise enjoying its best run in decades. First baseman Anthony Rizzo and right fielder Jason Heyward each won a Gold Glove, and Rizzo finished fourth in the MVP balloting. Manager Joe Maddon and pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester also were finalists for major awards this offseason. Voting by BBWAA members was completed by the start of the playoffs. Bryant was a runaway winner, grabbing 29 of 30 first-place votes and 415 points. Nationals second

baseman Daniel Murphy, who batted .347 for the NL East champions, was the runner-up with the other first-place vote and 245 points. Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was third after he was the unanimous winner of the NL Rookie of the Year award. Bryant was the unanimous NL Rookie of the Year after he hit .275 with 26 homers and 99 RBIs last season. Bryant joins Dustin Pedroia (2007-08), Ryan Howard (2005-06) and Cal Ripken (1982-83) as the only players to go Rookie of the Year-MVP in consecutive seasons. Ichiro Suzuki (2001) and Fred Lynn (1975) are the only players to win the awards in the same year. Trout received 19 firstplace votes and 356 points. Mookie Betts, who batted .318 with 31 homers, 113 RBIs and 26 steals in 158 games for the Boston Red Sox, was second with 311 points, and AL batting champion Jose Altuve of Houston was third. Retiring Red Sox slugger David Ortiz got one first-place vote finished sixth in his final year in the majors.

‘Next man up’ as Wolverines face Cross in opener BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com

Robert E. Lee Academy running back Nick Stokes (17) and the Cavaliers have won 10 straight games and look to claim back-to-back state championship when they face First Baptist on Saturday in Columbia for the SCISA 2A crown.

CAVS

FROM PAGE B1 head coach Johnny Waters said. “We went 0-10 my first year and won four games last year. We’ve kind of all grown up together and bought into the system. We’ve changed the culture at the school and the numbers have increased.” Much like Rankin did when he returned to Bishopville four years ago, Waters started mostly underclassmen that first year with an eye on the future. “I think we only started out with 17 kids my first year,” Waters said. “We had a youth movement, but we just kept plugging along. We’ve got nine seniors this year, but we’re actually still a young team so we feel good about the future.” It was an almost identical process for Rankin and the Cavaliers, who finally broke through with a 12-0 campaign in 2015 for the program’s second overall championship and first since 1976. “It’s a big accomplishment for us as seniors,” Cavs RB/ LB Nick Stokes said. “We started our freshman year building the program back up and winning a championship last year. To make it back our senior year is crazy. We knew we could do it, we just had to

Carolina Forest last week in which the Gamecocks allowed just 121 yards of total offense, only 20 of which came on the ground. Sumter is averaging 221.4 yards rushing a contest despite picking up just 144 against CF. Barnes though is pleased with the play of his team for the most part entering the playoffs. “I think we’re right where we to be,” said Barnes, who is in his second year with SHS. “The defense is playing great right now, and while we didn’t run the ball the way we wanted against Carolina Forest, we’ve been able to run the ball the way we like for the most part. We want to be able to do those well and perform well on special teams, and I think we’ve done that for the most part. That’s a good winning formula for us.” Running back Rodney Pitts leads the Gamecocks in rushing with 1,026 yards and 22 touchdowns on 160 carries. However, his touches on handoffs have been limited during the last four games due to an injury suffered against South Florence. Still, he has been getting the ball in the passing game, catching seven passes for 51 yards against Carolina Forest. “We expect him to be back at full speed,” Barnes said of Pitts, who leads Sumter in receiving with 25 catches for 295 yards and one score.

build each other up and make a family out of it. And that’s what we did.” A family and a very good football team. Winners of 10 straight, REL is outscoring its opponents 479-227 this season and averaging more than 35 points a game. The Cavs have relied on numerous playmakers, including a trio of running backs, a strong corps of receivers and dual-threat junior quarterback Bryce Barrett. Barrett has both rushed and thrown for more than 1,000 yards this season and combined for 40 touchdowns. “We moved some guys around earlier in the year, other guys have come in and stepped up and we’re just all really clicking right now,” Barrett said. Robert E. Lee will likely need its offense firing on all cylinders. First Baptist is outscoring opponents 495-163 and

have been held under 41 points just twice all year — a 21-0 loss to Pinewood Prep and a 41-20 loss to PorterGaud, both 3A schools. The Hurricanes are similar in that they both run and throw the ball. Sophomore tailback Michel Dukes has been the catalyst, rushing for 2,126 yards and 36 touchdowns on 194 carries behind a solid offensive line, Waters said. Dukes had 225 yards on the ground last week against Trinity-Byrnes. “If we miss tackles, it’s going to be a long day for us,” Rankin said. “He can score on any play. He’s very good and the quarterback is very good and they’ve got at least two receivers who are special and came make plays, so we can’t just load the box and stop the run.” Third-year quarterback Cameron Berl has completed 119 of 227 passes for 2,160 yards and 20 touchdowns to give the ‘Canes a multi-faceted attack. His favorite target has been Ahmad Green, who has 60 receptions for 1,059 yards and nine scores. “They’re very diverse — just like us,” REL senior DL/ LB Sidney Arledge said. “It’s going to be a hard-fought game. It’ll be a fun game. It’ll be like nothing we’ve seen all season.”

“This is the healthiest he’s been since the South Florence game. Limiting him though has created opportunities for Da’Jon (Butts) to run the ball and (quarterback) Zykiem (Jackson) to pass the ball. That means we have more people making plays.” Jackson has completed 57 of 89 passes for 790 yards and five TDs against just one interception. Jackson has rushed for 513 yards and four scores on 113 carries, while Butts has 454 yards and eight TDs on 68 attempts. Three of Lexington’s five losses have come by six points or less. The three consecutive losses have been to Blythewood 32-20, White Knoll 17-14 and Dutch Fork 38-21. Entering the Dutch Fork contest, the Wildcats were averaging 233.3 rushing yards. They were led by Dai’quan Wells with 1,051 yards and 10 touchdowns on 143 carries, but he is no longer with the team. Quarterback Chase Crouch had completed 84 of 174 passes for 1,045 yards and five

TDs against seven INTs. He had completed between nine and 18 passes to six different receivers with yardage ranging from 123 yards to 255 yards. Something else about LHS is more impressive to Barnes though. “No. 1 is their overall size,” he said. “They are very big on both the offensive and defensive lines. They are all 6(-feet)-3(-inches), 6-4 with long arms and good technique. They are well coached and not going to beat themselves.” Sumter has limited opponents to 225 yards of total offense, including just 110 on the ground. Linebacker Cooper Mota leads Sumter in tackles with 101 followed by linebacker Kenjae Rose with 64 in just seven games. SHS has 82 tackles for loss, led by defensive end Raymond Johnson with 18 for 108 yards. Defensive end Richburg Canty has 17 for 56 yards and safety Darien Wells has 14 for 79 yards. Johnson leads in quarterback sacks with eight while Wells has seven.

It’s been a long year for the East Clarendon High School football team, but that hasn’t necessarily been a bad thing, head coach Scott Cook said. “We had a couple weeks off because of the hurricane,” he said. “But it helps us because we’re so young and it’s given these guys an opportunity to get some more work and some more reps in.” That’s been critical since the Wolverines have dealt with a rash of injuries this year -- including about 13 players that have been sidelined for most of the year. “It’s just a next man up mentality,” Cook said. “We’ve got four guys starting on offense right now that were on (junior varsity) when the year began. But the guys have come out and worked hard and it’s going to pay off in the long run for us.” Still, ECHS managed to secure a 1A playoff berth after getting an at-large bid. The 1-9 Wolverines will travel to 7-2 Cross today for a 7:30 p.m. matchup. The Trojans finished second in Region V with a 3-1 record while EC was fifth in Region VI at 1-4. The winner will travel to face HannahPamplico next week with the Raiders coming off a bye. Cross is a run-oriented

“We do have a lot to be proud of,” the first-time head coach said. “We’ve won seven games and we came within one point of winning the region championship. We’ve made a lot of progress, but I want the players to understand that we can go even farther.” The first step is obviously against 6-4 Georgetown, which finished third in Region VI. Of the Bulldogs’ four losses, two were by seven points and another was a 36-22 loss to perennial power Dillon. “They are very big, very physical on defense,” West said of GHS. “They are the biggest, most physical team we’ve played in a while. Timberland was a smaller, quicker team than us, but Georgetown is going to be a little bigger and stronger.” Georgetown has pitched four shutouts this season and has allowed 27 or more points just three times. It is allowing 13.9 points a game. The Monarchs haven’t had

team that has gained 2,461 yards on the ground so far this season, led by Nathan Walker’s 948 and 10 scores. The Trojans are outscoring opponents 320-75. “They’re a big team with good speed,” Cook said. “They run a little bit of power game at you, but they can also spread you out a little bit, too. Defensively, they run a 5-man front and probably switch to a 3-man front if we spread them out, so we’ve got a lot to prepare for.” Offensive consistency has been the biggest challenge for EC this season with so much turnover. It has been outscored 294-72 and has scored more than 10 points in just four games. “We lost some of our big linemen, so we’ve had to go from more of a wishbone to a spread team,” Cook said. In doing so, freshman running back Tyjahi Calvin switched to quarterback and has done a good job, Cook added, along with sophomore Lane Robinson, who has also rotated in at QB. Javontez Rush, Gavin Gibbons and Garrick Powell have been the running backs. On defense, Calvin has started at linebacker along with fellow freshman DaQuan McElveen and senior Dawon Butler. Junior Bryson McKenzie has been an anchor on the defensive line. a prolific offensive attack, averaging 272.6 yards of total offense. One thing they have been though is balanced. MHS has rushed for 147 yards a contest, while passing for 125.6. “We feel like we’ve done a pretty good job of showing that we can run and throw the football,” West said. “We need to be able to do that against Georgetown.” Quarterback Jalen White has completed 58 of 108 passes for 1,048 yards and 13 touchdowns while running for 487 yards and two scores on 77 attempts. His favorite target is wide receiver David Fulton, who has 40 catches for 889 yards and eight scores. Running back Alex Coleman has 493 yards and three scores on 88 carries. Manning is allowing 20.8 points a game while scoring 26.5 “We’ve got to do a little bit better job defensively than we’ve been doing,” said West, whose squad has allowed 20 or more points in six games. “We not to try to hold them under 20 and score in the upper 20s.”

Abbeville to be tough Gamecocks need more playmakers road test for Stallions BY JOSH KENDALL jkendall@thestate.com

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com It’s been a season mostly of high points for Lee Central High School as the Stallions got off to a 7-0 start under second-year head coach Justin Danner. The only low one has come in the last month as LCHS has dropped three straight, all in Region IV-2A play. Even so, the Stallions are still right where they want to be -- in the 2A state playoffs. “We definitely are excited about the direction the program is going,” Danner said. “Only having two seniors, that helps you looking forward even though this season is not over with. But we do feel like it was a big accomplishment for us, even with the losses.” Now the big challenge is regrouping for perhaps the Stallions’ biggest test of the year. The gauntlet of facing teams like Chesterfield, Cheraw and Central Pageland might pay off as LCHS hits the road for a 7:30 p.m. game tonight against Abbeville. Lee Central is 7-3 overall and a No. 4 seed while the top-seeded Panthers are 9-0-1 and, more importantly, won the 2A Division II state championship a year ago. “They have a great, great football tradition and a great football team,” Danner said. “For us, if you want a measuring stick, then look no further. It will be great for us one way or another. We are looking forward to the challenge and playing the best game that we can.” LCHS will likely need its best game as the defending

champs have picked up right where they left off. The Panthers have won six straight following a 7-7 tie with Lincoln County (Ga.). They’ve scored at least 27 points in each of those contests and are averaging 29.8 points per game. However, the real strength has been Abbeville’s defense. The Panthers are giving up just 7.9 points a game and have posted four shutouts. In three other games, they gave up just a lone touchdown. “They do a great job of mixing up their fronts and they’ve got some tremendous athletes that can get to the ball,” Danner said. “They’re very big and tough along the defensive line, and that can always cause some problems. “We’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.” It will be an interesting matchup scheme-wise as both Abbeville and Lee Central run Wing-T offenses, although the Panthers operate theirs more out of the shotgun, Danner said. The Stallions are scoring an average of 31.2 points a game while giving up 19.1. They’ve been their own worst enemy the last two games Danner said, but overall have had a resurgent year. LCHS has rushed for almost 3,000 yards this season, including a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Micheal Weston and Deondraye Moses. “We’ve got a feel for what they want to do and I’m sure they have an understanding of us as well,” Danner said. “It comes down to who can sustain drives and who can execute their offense the best.”

Eagles look for next step, fast start against Tigers BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com The steps aren’t nearly as big as Wayne Farmer would like them to be, but he does know his Scott’s Branch High School football team isn’t the same one when he came to the school three years ago. “This year’s been better than the last two years,” said Farmer, who guided the Eagles to a 5-5 regular season record, their first non-losing mark since winning the 1A Division II state title in 2010. “There are still some things we need to improve at. We need to be able to overcome adversity, fight through it and win some games.” A good place for SB to start that is today in the first round of the 1A playoffs. Scott’s Branch plays host to 7-3 Hemingway at 7:30 p.m. at Spann Stadium in Summerton. Both teams finished third in their respective regions, the Eagles in Region V and the Tigers in Region VI. SB got the home game due to the predetermined bracket. Farmer believes his team has to have a quick start if it

hopes to win the contest. “We’ve got to control the ball, and we need to score early,” Farmer said. “We need to have some long drives offensively. We need our offense to be our best defense. “Defensively, we’ve got to get some early 3-(downs)andouts against them,” he added. “We’ve got to be able to control the game in the early going. We’re going to have to be able to run the football.” Scott’s Branch has been up and down on both sides of the ball most of the season. It has scored only 178 points, but 38 of those came in a 2-point victory over BethuneBowman that gave it the region’s No. 3 seed. They are allowing 22.3 points a game. Hemingway has outscored its foes 307-147. The Tigers lost to undefeated Lake View 22-14, but struggled to pull out an 8-6 victory over 1-win East Clarendon. “They’re a very physical and aggressive team, especially on defense,” Farmer said. “They’ve got a quarterback, running back and wide receivers who can all make plays. We’ve got to play very well.”

four games. That’s an astounding 79.5 percent. For the season, South Carolina is last in the SEC in scoring (18 points per game) and next-to-last in total yardage (323.1 per game). The Gamecocks take on Western Carolina (2-8 overall, 1-7 SEC) at 4 p.m. Saturday in WilliamsBrice Stadium. “I think you probably need more people, especially with the league we play in,” junior running back David Williams said. “People get beat up every play. As you saw Saturday, people were getting injured left and right so you have to be prepared.” Dowdle and Samuel alone have gained 58.3 percent of the team’s total yards in the last four games. Samuel has 367 yards receiving and 50 yards rushing, while Dowdle has 381 rushing yards and 21 receiving yards (819 total for both). “I think we have the right guys in the right spots,” quarterback Perry Orth said. “They have been making plays.” While that is true, it would be nice for someone else to

After searching for more than half a season to find offensive playmakers, South Carolina is not going to complain, but the truth is the Gamecocks could use a few more. The ascension of freshman running back Rico Dowdle and the improved health of wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Bryan Edwards has been a boon for the South Carolina offense. USC is averaging 24 points per game in the last four games after averaging 20 points per game in the first six. Its rushing yards per game (142.3 compared to 92.3) and total yards per game (351 compared to 304.5) have increased in the same time frame. That surge has masked, at least for now, that South Carolina’s offense has become almost completely reliant on a small group of players. Dowdle, Samuel, Edwards and tight ends Hayden Hurst and K.C. Crosby have accounted for 1,166 of the Gamecocks 1,404 total yards in the last

step up at times, too. “You can’t have eight guys on the field to target, but is good to have eight guys or so you can count on,” Orth said. “It’s always good to have subs.” For the season, South Carolina has three running backs – Dowdle, Williams and redshirt freshman A.J. Turner – with at least 50 carries. They have five players with 15 or more receptions, and Samuel and Edwards are the only wide receivers in the group. “You go into every season saying, ‘OK, at this position who do we feel good about winning an SEC East Championship? Who can go and win some of the games?’” South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp said, “and to be honest if a guy can really help us. I don’t know that we put a number on that.” He then tried to put some numbers on it – settling on eight offensive linemen, three running backs, four tight ends and five wide receivers. “I think schematically you change those numbers based on what you’re doing,” Muschamp said.

rushing game. It really was just a testament to how far I’ve come,” he said. “It showed me what hard work and sacrifice and determination really means. It definitely was a confidence booster.” Colburn also feels that he has improved in other areas of his game. He leads Wake Forest in rushing attempts and rushing yards and believes he is becoming a complete running back as far as pass blocking and reading defenses in addition to carrying the ball. He also says he is a more patient player and not as antsy as he was as a freshman. “Last year was a learning experience playing as a freshman. I kind of learned on the run. As I was playing I was learning the play book and all of that good stuff, transitioning from high school to college,” Colburn said. “I think as spring went along and summer ball went along I picked everything up and smoothed out the edges. I’m feeling really confident in the player I’m becoming.”

2011. “It’s awesome. Everybody’s behind us. Everybody’s supporting us. We feel like we’re slowly but surely building the culture around here. We’re starting to build confidence,” Colburn said. “Guys are becoming more encouraged to do their best and put in a little more, whether it be in the weight room, watching film or getting with the coach after practice. It’s a really good feeling. Things are changing.” Colburn, a sophomore, has taken a big step forward with his play in 2016. He rushed for 239 yards and a touchdown as a freshman but already has 490 rushing yards this season. He has also caught 11 passes for 118 yards. Colburn had back-to-back 100-yard games in September, rushing for 118 against Delaware and 103 at Indiana. His season-high in a game in 2015 was 51 yards against Florida State. “Last year I realized how hard it is to have a 100-yard

Former Dutch Fork star Matt Colburn and Wake Forest are already bowl eligible, sitting at 6-4 entering Saturday’s game against No. 3 Clemson. The Demon Deacons have surpassed the preseason expectations of many and have a chance to pull off an even bigger surprise with a win over the Tigers this weekend. “It’s a really exciting game for me playing against a team from my home state,” Colburn told The State this week. “We’re really excited being the ESPN national game at 7 p.m. when everybody’s watching. We’re excited to show what we’ve got to the world.” Wake Forest is 4-1 at home, including 2-0 in home ACC games and playing with confidence entering its toughest test of the season. Colburn said the mood around Winston-Salem is one of excitement as the Demon Deacons have their most wins in a season since going 6-7 in

Clemson rolls into Tire No. 3 Villanova rallies past Pros semis with 95-78 Western Michigan 76-65 win over Davidson BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Clemson enjoyed every bit of its highest-scoring game in seven years. Avry Holmes scored 22 points, Jaron Blossomgame added 17 and Clemson defeated Davidson 95-78 on Thursday in the opening game of the Tire Pros Invitational. It was Clemson’s best point total since scoring 102 against Winthrop on Nov. 23, 2009. Gabe DeVoe added 16 for the Tigers (2-0), who shot 52 percent. “I think we have a good team,” Tigers coach Brad Brownell said. “I think we have more balance than we’ve had in several years. ... Because of that, I think we’re a little tougher matchup and that was evident today by five guys in double figures.” Donte Grantham and Sidy Djitte each scored 12 for the Tigers. Peyton Aldridge scored 22 points for Davidson (1-1), which went 11 for 40 from 3-point range. Jack Gibbs, who was sixth nationally in scoring at 23.7 points per game last season, scored 18 for the Wildcats. Gibbs didn’t play in Davidson’s opener because of a shoulder issue, and wore a protective sleeve on his left shoulder Thursday. “I don’t feel limited,” Gibbs said. “I just have to go out there, be a leader and do a better job of getting our team to do the things we do in

practice. If it doesn’t start with me and Peyton, there’s no one else on the team that’s going to start it.” BROWNELL Davidson started off hot from 3-point range, making 6 of its first 10. But the Wildcats missed their next 16 from beyond the arc, and fell into a double-digit-sized hole that they couldn’t escape the rest of the way. “You start out making 3’s, all of a sudden it’s like a poison because now you think you can make 3’s,” Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. “The nature of our team is to go inside-out, but the demon of making those early 3’s hung around our heads quite a bit.” CLEMSON (95) Grantham 5-8 0-0 12, Blossomgame 6-16 4-5 17, Djitte 2-3 8-12 12, Holmes 6-12 6-7 22, DeVoe 6-8 2-2 16, Robertin 2-2 1-1 5, Reed 2-5 5-5 9, McGillan 0-0 0-0 0, Davis 0-0 0-0 0, Spencer 1-4 0-0 2.

CHARLESTON— Eric Paschall had 17 points, including a 3-pointer with 2:50 to go, to help rally No. 3 Villanova past Western Michigan 76-65 at the Charleston Classic on Thursday. The defending national champion Wildcats opened 3-0 for the fourth straight season. Not that it was easy after Western Michigan cut a 14-point second-half lead to 59-56 with 6 minutes left. That’s when Villanova took off on a 13-4 run to secure the game, helped by 3-pointers by Kris Jenkins, Paschall and Josh Hart for a 72-60 lead. Western Michigan never got closer than seven points the rest of the way. The Wildcats will face Wake Forest on Friday for a spot in Sunday’s championship. Thomas Wilder led The Broncos (1-2).

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Edmond Sumner’s free throw with 0.3 seconds left in overtime gave Xavier the victory in the opening round of the Tire Pros Invitational. Sumner was fouled by Missouri’s Terrence Phillips along the sideline, after the Musketeers inbounded the ball near midcourt. He missed the first one short, then rattled in the second for the win. Sumner and J.P. Macura scored 19 points each for Xavier (3-0), which got 13 apiece from Trevon Bluiett and Sean O’Mara. Frankie Hughes scored 24

points for Missouri (1-1), and Kevin Puryear finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. (12) LOUISVILLE 88 LONG BEACH STATE 56

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville coach Rick Pitino’s concerns about the early season schedule causing his 12th-ranked Cardinals problems might be merited at some point. Right now, the Cardinals are handling non-conference opponents with surprising ease. Jaylen Johnson had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Deng Adel added 11 points and Louisville jumped on Long Beach State quickly for an 88-56 blowout Thursday. The Cardinals (3-0) outscored the 49ers 23-2 over a 5:28 span in the first half for a 30-8 lead en route to their third straight 30-point win to open the season. Louisville’s height advantage made the difference on both ends as it controlled scoring in the paint 42-20 and rebounding 51-37. Louisville’s fast, effective start toward that end impressed Pitino enough to compare his team’s effort to the 2013 NCAA championship squad, which is saying something this early in the season. “That was really, really special to see,” said Pitino, whose team made 11 of their first 14 shots before finishing at 45 percent (34 of 76) from the field. That was a clinic at the offensive end and a clinic at the defensive end.” Johnson helped get the

Cardinals going with 10 points and seven rebounds in the first half en route to his second double-double in three games. (9) WISCONSIN 69 CHICAGO ST. 51

MADISON, Wis. — Vitto Brown hadn’t even broken a sweat when Wisconsin coach Greg Gard pulled the forward and fellow starter Ethan Happ just more than a minute into Thursday night’s game with Chicago State. But the move sent a message. Brown ending up scoring 12 points to lead No. 9 Wisconsin as the Badgers shook off some uneven play from their starters to beat the Cougars 69-51. “It’s always important to send a message with your leaders like us because they know if we mess up and can be taken out, the other guys will be held to the same standard,” Brown said. Gard said he figured some of his starters would be sluggish two days after a 79-67 loss to No. 22 Creighton. But after seeing a couple of careless turnovers to start the game and a quick 8-0 deficit, he had enough. Gard’s move paid off. Khalil Iverson came off the bench to add 11 points, and freshman guard D’Mitrik Trice dished out seven assists in 23 minutes. Meanwhile, Bronson Koenig added 10 points, though he was 1 of 6 from 3-point range. The Associated Press

Perfect Game ranks Fire Ants shortstop Hawkins among top JUCO prospects University of South Carolina Sumter shortstop Justin Hawkins was selected by PerfectGame.org as one of its top 25 junior college prospects for the upcoming season. Hawkins came into the list at No. 22 despite an injuryplagued campaign in 2016 that saw him eventually redshirt after being him above his eye with a foul ball during the second game of the season. In his freshman year, the USCS standout batted .322 with a .510 slugging percentage while belting seven homers, 17 doubles and driving in 42 runs as the Fire Ants earned the program’s first trip to the Junior College World Series.

ry in 2009, stepped away from the PGA Tour in May when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. After nine rounds of chemotherapy, doctors at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston switched her over to what Cink described as a maintenance program. “I am just really encouraged by the way she’s been able to fight and handle it,” Cink said. “She’s had definitely a lot of ups and downs and she feels pretty well, and she got a good report Monday — real good. She’s really like an inspiration for me.” Mackenzie Hughes, the Canadian rookie, flirted with a sub-60 round until pars on the final three holes on the Sea-

side course for a 61 and a oneshot lead over Cink and Jonathan Byrd. All of them were at Seaside in ideal conditions for scoring. Cink was a strong presence, especially with his wife in the gallery. She has only missed one tournament since a sporadic return to golf, usually walking 18 holes. The exception was the St. Jude Classic at Memphis this summer, when she only managed nine holes each round.
