ROBERT ALEC SWAYNGHAM
PICKENS — Robert Alec Swayngham, 54, departed this earthly life for his heavenly home on Monday, Nov. 2, 2020, after a lengthy battle with cancer.
He attended The Crossing Church in Chugiak, Alaska.
Alec was born Dec. 31, 1965 to Joel and Wanda Swayngham. Alec is the beloved husband of his devoted wife, Barbara Bebout Swayngham, who cared for him tirelessly throughout his illness. He adored Barbara, his sweetie, and doted on his dogs, EP and Smitty. Alec’s gentle nature and corny sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him. He was a uniquely kind and longsuffering person, who was loved by all.
In addition to his wife and parents, he is survived by his stepson, Brent Riddle of Pickens; two stepdaughters, Tracy Lovelace of Hillsboro, Ore., and Mandy Riddle of Suwanee, Ga.; a granddaughter, Ashlyn Lovelace; his brother, Travis

PICKENS — The Pickens Blue Flame’s playoff hopes came to an end at the hands of the Travelers Rest Devildogs in a must-win matchup on Friday night.
The Pickens defense was unable to stop the surging TR offense in a 56-13 loss.
In a highly anticipated matchup to determine Region I-4A’s second playoff spot, the Blue Flame struggled to maintain their composure
as the game quickly got out of hand. Once the Devildogs took the lead early in the first quarter, they never looked back, pulling away with seeming ease.
For Travelers Rest, Friday night’s game was a great display of explosive offensive action, accompanied by some lockdown defense. For the Blue Flame, it was a story of one step forward, two steps back throughout the night.
Pickens coach Chad Smith described the game in one

Panthers shut out Liberty on road

ABBEVILLE — With the 2020 season winding down, the Liberty Red Devils made a long trip down to region powerhouse Abbeville on 
Friday night.
The Panthers boasted a 6-0 record going into the contest, and their high-powered offense proved too much for the Red Devils in a 63-0 win.
Unseasonably warm weather greeted the two teams on the first
Friday night in November.
Going up against a tough opponent, the Red Devils knew they’d have to pull out all the stops. They did just that on the opening kickoff, sneaking in an onside kick that they recovered.
Shai Jamison broke a 12-yard run into Panther territory, but the drive died out, forcing a Red Devil punt.
Wasting no time, Abbeville pieced together an 86-yard drive, with Tyrell Haddon punching in a six-yard touchdown to take the early

Green Wave still on the hunt for first win after loss to Mauldin

EASLEY — It would be hard to convince any Easley fan or player that Mauldin had only won two 
games entering Friday night’s game with the Green Wave.
The uber-talented Mavericks, with two junior players ranked in the top 15 for the state in the class of 2022, including the top-ranked player in cornerback Jeadyn Lukus, ran off 42 first-half points in beating Easley, 49-6.
Mauldin’s losses this season have been to archrival Hillcrest, to T.L. Hanna by one point, to Greenville and last week to Ridge View, the team that beat Daniel in the Upper State title game last season.
“That is a good team,” Easley coach Jordan Durrah said of the Mavericks. “We scheduled that for a reason. I told them it’s about being process-oriented, and that’s the best thing for the program. We want to play against real good teams and competitive teams with
