PICKENS — In the midst of a five-game losing skid, the Pickens High School boys’ basketball team hosted Southside on 
Wednesday night hoping to get back on the right track before the Christmas holiday.
Instead, the Tigers’ press forced the Blue Flame into way too many early turnovers leading to a 17-2 first quarter run that Pickens was just never able to overcome despite a late comeback attempt in a 61-53 loss.
“We had a bad start,” Pickens head coach Jeff Harrelson

Cassell awarded Order of the Palmetto
EASLEY — On Thursday, Dec. 12, a huge crowd gathered at the “Feed a Hungry Child Pickens County” facility to show the man that helped start the program, how much he is appreciated by so many around the state.
