PICKENS — Pickens High School legend who helped lead the Blue Flame football team to its 
only state championship in his first full season playing the sport will be remembered for his accomplishments both on the football field and in the community.
Rudy Hayes died Saturday at his home. He was 85.
Hayes was a running back for the Blue Flame in the early 1950s, earning all-state honors three times and graduating with more than 50 school records on the gridiron before taking his talents across the county to play for the Clemson Tigers and eventually enjoying an NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hayes finished his Pickens

EASLEY — A new era is underway for the Easley High School football program, as former 
Green Wave assistant coach Jordan Durrah was named the team’s 
head coach on Feb. 14.
Durrah was chosen after a nearly two-month search that began with the abrupt departure of former coach Caleb King, who went 3-7 in his only season with the Green Wave.
“I started out at Easley, and when I felt ready to become head coach, it was the kind of place I wanted to be,” Durrah told The Courier last week. “Everything just kind of fell into place the last few weeks, and it’s been a dream come

EASLEY — City officials believe hard work by staff helped Easley weather the heavy rains and 
flooding of Feb. 6, but said future weather events could be more costly if efforts aren’t made to keep trash out of storm drains.
Council members discussed the storm during their Feb. 10 meeting.
Councilman Brian Garrison commended public works and stormwater employees for their response to the storm and their work over the previous months.
“With all the rain we’ve had, they’ve had their hands full and

New hunger study finds ‘significant problem’ in county
By Jason Evans
Staff Reporter

COUNTY — Clemson University sociology professor Catherine Mobley says hunger and food 
insecurity don’t just impact individuals and their families, but also the community at large.
“Currently our food environment is not enough to adequately serve our community members,” Mobley said.
Around 2010, United Way of Pickens County decided it wanted to look into the issue of hunger in Pickens, according to Karen Culley, vice president of community impact. That led to its 2011 hunger study.
“It is a significant problem,” she said. “We realized it was something we need to continue addressing.”
Last year, the organization decided it might be time for

PICKENS — The Pickens Blue Flame girls pulled off a senior night stunner at home last week, 
taking down the Region I-4A-leading Daniel Lions, 50-45.
Kaylee Gillespie led the Flame with 17 points, and Alex Dow contributed as well with 15.
The win was huge for the Blue Flame, a talented squad that has faced many ups and downs this season, because without it the team would have likely missed the playoffs.
“This shows we never give up,” Pickens head coach Rikki Owens said. “We have fought, we have scrounged, and we have gotten better. A few weeks ago, this
