PICKENS — The Pickens Blue Flame met one of their goals for season 
when they defeated the Palmetto Mustangs Oct. 26 and earned a spot in the Class 4A playoffs with a fourth-place finish in region play.
The feat was another step for Chad Smith’s team, which has continued to play hard and improve as the season progressed.
Pickens, however, has the dubious task of facing one of the best teams in the state when it travels to Greer to take on the Yellow Jackets in Round 1.
The Blue Flame (4-6, 2-3) know how to fight and battle to the end with talented teams and have shown great fight all season. Pickens lost three

Liberty’s 21-13 road win over the Patriots on Oct. 25 was a fitting end to a 5-5 regular season, as the team faced some adversity but battled back to 
come away with the win, just as the Devils rebounded from three tough losses in the region schedule and won the finale to earn their postseason berth and keep their season alive.
“Just proud overall and proud of the second half with these guys,” Liberty coach Kyle Stewart said after the win at Powdersville. “There’s been some

CENTRAL — The South Carolina high school football playoffs have arrived, and the Daniel Lions are in their best postseason position since 2013.
That year, the Lions burst through the playoffs on their way to a trip to 
Columbia for the state championship game against Myrtle Beach. The Lions lost to the Seahawks and have since followed with four consecutive first-round losses.
Things appear to be different for Daniel this season, however, as the 8-1 Lions have exceeded all preseason expectations and looked dominant throughout the season, winning their first eight games by an average of 27 points.
And while Daniel’s loss to No. 1 overall seed and region champion Belton-
