Hoops hype
Pickens County kicked off high school basketball season last week with the first-ever Pickens County Basketball Jamboree at Pickens High School. All four county schools were represented during the games, with Daniel’s squads taking on Liberty and Easley taking on Pickens. The games were contested in single 20-minute halves with a running clock. Daniel took both of the matchups with Liberty, winning 14-4 in the girls’ game and 19-16 in the boys’ matchup. Likewise, Easley took both matchups against the Blue Flame, with an 11-7 win for the Green Wave girls and a 22-5 win in the boys’ contest. The regular season is scheduled to begin next week for all four county teams, with the Daniel and Easley teams tangling Tuesday in Central, the same night the Pickens boys and girls head to Belton-Honea Path. Liberty’s teams will host Dixie on Monday night.

COLUMBIA — After finishing third at the Class 4A state qualifier earlier this month, the Easley High School Green Wave cheer team traveled to the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Saturday, and by day’s end, they had laid claim to the No. 2 spot in the state.
The Green Wave scored a 283 on the day, good enough for second place in the 4A classification, and just 14 points behind state champion A.C. Flora.
Rounding out the top five in Class 4A were Airport, Irmo and Travelers Rest.
The second-place finish at the 2021 state championship comes just a year removed from Easley’s third-place finish in 2020.

CENTRAL — After a season of slow starts, the Daniel Lions were focused on changing things against Clinton on Friday night, according to senior quarterback Trent Pearman.
“We were (ticked) off,” Pearman said. “The last couple of games, we just hadn’t gotten off the bus well.”
Pearman’s aggression was echoed by the entire Daniel team against the Red Devils, as they utterly dominated Clinton from start to finish in a 52-7 rout.
On a day where the Lions put up 52 points, it was

CLEMSON — The Clemson football team finally looked like itself on Saturday.
After being plagued by injuries and underwhelming performances all year, the Tigers (8-3, 6-2 ACC) put together their best game of the season when they needed it most, cruising to a 48-27 win over No. 13 Wake Forest (9-2, 6-1) at Memorial Stadium.
“It was just what we needed,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “It was our best day in our last day at home. Hats off to these guys. You go from 2-2 with a lot of disappointment, a lot of noise, a lot of guys out — but the foundation of

If you’re trying to decide what special cake to make for the upcoming holidays, think about making one of these special traditional cakes to
put the finishing touches on an outstanding meal.
These cakes are both made from scratch, just as our grandmothers baked them, and guaranteed to be just as good.
I particularly like the seven-minute frosting recipe, and it is a go-to favorite.
