SC Old Time Fiddlers Convention planned Saturday at Hagood Mill
South Carolina State Fiddling Championship will be decided
PICKENS — As autumn approaches and the leaves turn their brilliant colors, it signals the time for fiddle music in the mountains.
This Friday and Saturday, old-time music will fill the hills and hollers around Hagood Mill as the historic site hosts the S.C. Old Time Fiddlers Convention. 
Some of the best musicians from around the Southeast will gather to compete in a variety of categories, with the top fiddler being named South Carolina’s state fiddling champion. The traditional contest goes back to the 1920s, when Clemson University opened the doors of stately Tillman Hall to the local musicians of the nearby South Carolina mountains for a music competition.
The S.C. State Fiddling Championship will take place this Saturday, Sept. 17, beginning at

Special to The Courier
news@thepccourier.com
LIBERTY — Former President Woodrow Wilson once said, “the difference between a strong man and a weak one is that the former does not give up after a defeat.”
Wilson’s quote describes resilience. Anyone who follows sports closely knows that resilience is often the deciding factor in who wins
and who loses. After taking two straight losses, and trailing most of its game Friday night, the Liberty High School football team showed

Blue Flame hoping to keep positive momentum after week off
PICKENS — Despite a loss to Southside in their last game on Sept. 2, it’s hard to imagine the Pickens Blue Flame are unhappy with their standing midway through non-conference play.
Coming into the year, there were plenty of questions about the Pickens offense, with the team having to replace both starting quarterback Ryan Ford and star running back Andon Rogers from last season’s squad. However, those questions have seemingly been answered through three weeks of play, with the Blue

itaylor@upstatetoday.com
CLEMSON — Clemson’s 35-12 win over Furman on Saturday finished with an expected result, but it took an unexpected journey to get there.
Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei played like the heir to Trevor Lawrence he was meant to be, while the Tigers’ defense was burned by screens and failed to live up to its lofty preseason expectations of total dominance.
The Tigers were playing in their second game in a calendar week after a season-opening win against
