Pickens looking to build after disappointing finish in 2020

PICKENS — After Pickens’ thrilling win over Easley last season, the first for the Blue Flame against their county rival in a decade, Chad Smith’s squad seemed poised to be a contender in Region I-4A.
However, a disappointing stretch run kept the Blue Flame out of the playoffs for the second year in a row. One year later, Smith is hoping his team can learn from the mistakes of the 2020 squad.
“We just have to continue to be consistent,” Smith said. “In our postseason interviews, our upperclassmen said after they beat Easley, they pretty much relaxed
because their season was made, and you can’t do that. You have to keep plowing ahead. I think we kind of got that monkey off

Devils hoping to bounce back in Sutherland’s first year

LIBERTY — A preseason scrimmage against Carolina High last week may have provided a solid snapshot of things to come for the Liberty High School Football program.
The Trojans were in control early, physically and statistically, but the young Red Devils kept plugging away. Not only did Liberty’s defense recover to pitch a
shutout, the offense eventually reached the end zone three times. Freshmen scored all three touchdowns.
The scrimmage exemplified the building blocks first-year head coach Paul Sutherland’s staff seek to make cornerstones of the program. The Red Devils showed fortitude that eventually allowed them to get the job done.
“We’re day by day right now — trying to get that culture that you show up to work every day on time and put in a good, hard, honest day’s work,” Sutherland

Easley hoping to build on late-season momentum in year two under Durrah

EASLEY — The Easley football team will play the 2021 season with heavy hearts.
Junior defensive back Jordan Jenkins was killed in a car wreck early in the summer. Jenkins started two games as a sophomore and would have likely started
somewhere in the secondary.
“It’s been tough,” second-year Easley head coach Jordan Durrah said. “The biggest thing is the kids just want
to make him happy — to play hard on and off the field. They want to represent him on the field.”
Durrah said Jenkins was a likely starter.
Easley went 1-7 in the uncertain year that COVID-19 brought last season. The Green Wave beat Seneca convincingly in the season finale.

Lions begin title defense behind Pearman’s arm and stout defense

CENTRAL — While last year’s run to the Class 3A state championship represented the apex of a five-year climb to the top of the proverbial mountain, the 2021 Daniel Lions will have to deal with
all the added pressures that come with championship glory.
Luckily, the Lions don’t appear to be fazed by the added expectations, and just a year removed from its first state title since 1998, Daniel is not going to change the way that it approaches the game, according to sixth-year head coach Jeff Fruster.
“For us, it’s about starting over,” Fruster said. “What happened last year was great for the program and great for those seniors. They’ll always be remembered, but every team has its own identity, and right now we’re on a quest to figure out what our team identity is going to be this season. We want to build on the success we’ve built here and try to take it to the next step.”
The expectation remains the same this year, as it has for every year of Fruster’s tenure, and that sentiment is echoed by senior quarterback Trent Pearman.
“Always the same goal,” Pearman said. “We have to start by winning the first one, then keep going game by game all the way to the end.”
The Lions are also still dealing with the effects of COVID-19, as
