CENTRAL — Just three days after winning their second straight region championship, the 10th-ranked Daniel Lions’ girls basketball team seemed to have momentum working in their favor during 
Monday night’s matchup against the fourth-ranked Lower Richland Diamond Hornets.
However, despite a 29-27 halftime lead, the Daniel offense fell apart down the stretch, leaving the Lions trailing 38-33 with four minutes left in the game.
With time winding down, Daniel senior Sincere Hicks willed the Lions back, drawing two trips to the line and making all four of her

Perfectly delicious traditional pound cakes
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier. com
The reason I prefer traditional pound cake recipes is for the flavor, the richness, the moisture and the texture. And there is no substitute for real butter if you want to make a really good one.
If anyone can find a better chocolate pound cake recipe than my friend Jane’s, then send me a copy. It’s the very best.
My grandmama’s old fashioned pound cake recipe calls for a dozen eggs, real butter and a pound of
everything. There’s no substitute for anything, and it can easily feed 25 people.
And the lemon pound cake recipe is not run of the mill.
It’s near the top on the all-time favorites list.
If you’re cutting out sweets, don’t start until after you bake one of these cakes. You will not regret it.
