LIBERTY — The 2019 season was one of ups and downs for the Liberty Red Devils.
Facing a numbers disadvantage against nearly every team on the schedule, the Red Devils struggled early in the season before an offensive scheme change rejuvenated them and led them to their fifth consecutive playoff berth.
The Red Devils opened the season hosting country rival Daniel. Liberty fought hard but couldn’t match the Lions’ explosive offense as they fell 44-0 in a shutout loss.
The next week, the Red Devils looked to rebound against the Berea

PICKENS — The Pickens High School football team finished a rocky year with a record of 2-8 and a winless 0-5 mark in region play.
Though this season was a step back from last year’s team, which qualified for the playoffs, the results can be chalked up to a number of unlucky injuries, depth issues, turnovers and an inability to maintain leads.
The Blue Flame held leads in six of their 10 games this year, but just could not sustain them as the games continued on. The team also spent most of the year without team captain Brady Batson, last season’s leading rusher, following an offseason injury.
The team was led by sophomore Jamorea Keith and senior Zach Hollman, who saw action as rushers and as defenders. The two accounted for a majority of the team’s touchdowns, and both had a healthy number of defensive statistics as well. Hollman and the other members of his senior class will be fondly remembered by Pickens coach

Perry set to make history as county’s first black mayor
Whether fair or not, Pickens County is viewed by many outsiders as a place with more Confederate flags per capita than anywhere else in the country.
There’s no question that politically it’s the reddest of red counties in one of the reddest states. And demographically, it’s the whitest county in the whitest corner of the state.
So it may have come as a surprise to some when voters of the city of Pickens elected Fletcher Perry, the county’s first black mayor, in the Nov. 5 elections.
The historical significance of that is not lost on Perry, who will be sworn in as the

Sheriff Rick Clark said inmates were transferred to the new facility on Wednesday, Nov. 13, and the detention center opened the next day.
“We moved about 300-something people here … in one day, without incident,” he said.

EASLEY — Experts in mental health and suicide prevention recently shared tips to help save lives and ways to support those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
Robinson Funeral Home sponsored the “Grief After Suicide” seminar, held Thursday morning at South & West in Easley.
“It’s an extremely difficult topic when you’re trying to comfort others in the wake of a suicide,” Robinson Funeral Home owner Chris Robinson said. “The words seem inadequate and so tough when we’re trying to help a family that’s grieving after a suicide.”
The seminar grew out of a seminar on children and funerals,
