PICKENS — Facing a 16-0 deficit in the first quarter, the Pickens Blue Flame seemed poised to 
repeat the failures of last season against the Walhalla Razorbacks on

“That was a good football team with a Division I athlete in the backfield,” Pickens head coach Chad Smith said of the Razorbacks and standout running back Zaire Scotland. “We proved a

EASLEY — The Jordan Durrah era at Easley High School didn’t get off to the start Green Wave fans would 
have liked Friday night, as the visiting Westside Rams had a scoring outburst that turned a close game into a 45-0 win in the teams’ season opener and Region I-4A opener.
The game was tight until a 24-point five-minute spurt to close the first half and to start the second.

SENECA — After the Daniel High School football team fell 
behind by a touchdown early in the first quarter of Friday’s night
