PICKENS — After a promising start to the season, the last few weeks had not gone in Pickens’ favor heading into Friday night’s matchup with the Woodmont Wildcats.

Typically, whoever wins the time of possession battle has the edge, and Pickens certainly won that battle, thanks in large part to the

LIBERTY — After a season riddled with delays and makeup games due to COVID-19, the Liberty Red Devils came to the end of the line Friday night against the Landrum Cardinals in a 42-14 loss.
Landrum received the opening kickoff, but was quickly forced into a three-and-out due to a tackle for loss by Trinity Oglesby before punting the ball away.
Taking over at their own 20, the Red Devils came out with E.J. Stafford behind center. The Red Devils did little to move the ball and were forced into a punt, too.
Stafford punted the ball 22 yards to the Liberty 49, where it was caught by Landrum receiver Bobby Dodd. Dodd then took the punt all the way back to the end zone

PICKENS — A crowd gathered at Soapstone Baptist Church Saturday afternoon to celebrate the 
history — and the future — of the church founded by freed slaves.
An effort to raise $50,000 to pay off the church’s mortgage hit its goal earlier this year, and church members celebrated by burning the
mortgage on the large soapstone rock that gives the church its name.

Caesar’s Head ringing bells — and what the those bells ringing are saying is ’To God be the glory.’”
The church has been part of Clarke’s entire life. Her
