CENTRAL — Coming off a 34-point loss to Daniel in 2020, Easley wasn’t seen to be on the same level as the defending Class 3A state champions, and yet through one half of Friday’s season opening matchup, the Wave were tied 14-14 with Daniel.
Looking to go the distance with the Lions, the Green Wave faltered behind a cavalcade of second-half mistakes, leading to a 54-21 loss.
“We just made a lot of mistakes,” Easley head coach Jordan Durrah said. “We didn’t come out

CLEMSON — The college football landscape is almost unrecognizable from when the Clemson football team last took the field.
Student-athletes can now profit from their name, image and likeness, Texas and Oklahoma are joining the SEC, and most recently, the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-
12 have formed an alliance with ambiguous goals and consequences.
The Tigers have undergone plenty of changes, too. When Clemson’s 2020 season ended in disappointing fashion on New Year’s Day — losing 49-28 to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl — two all-time greats were holding down the backfield.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne are now both in theYou must be logged in to view this content.

County parents speak out on virus concerns
EASLEY — On the day students returned to the classroom after a week of virtual learning due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the first nine days of the school year, Monday night’s Pickens County School Board meeting was a hotbed of virus commentary.
A stream of parents appeared before the board during more than an hour of public comment, with concerns ranging from
