Seeing grief through the eyes of children
CEO for the National Alliance for Grieving Children speaks in Easley
EASLEY — How does one understand or help a child through the loss of a loved one? Families ask that question regularly. What is the child thinking 
and feeling? Depending on the age of the relative or friend how do you explain the sudden absence? How can you see it through their eyes? A phrase Chris Robinson heard at the July meeting of the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) meeting in Asheville was…”If a child is old enough to love, they are old enough to grieve”
Chris Robinson was deeply moved at a panel discussion where a video presentation accompanied a brand new brochure entitled Youth and Funerals. It addressed the every aspect of a child’s grief especially the fact that children should be given the opportunity to participate in the Memorialization process.
As a result of the meeting, Robinson Funeral Home sponsored an event

Lions beat Wren to advance to Upper State title game
By Bru Nimmons

CENTRAL — It seemed like it was going to be an easy night for the Daniel Lions in the third round of the Class 3A playoffs on Friday against the 
Wren Hurricanes.
Sure, rainfall and near freezing temperatures had made the game dreadful for those in attendance at Singleton Field, but the Lions took a 27-0 lead into halftime.
But the Lions’ fortunes changed drastically, as Wren scored lightning-quick back-to-back touchdowns to start the second half.
With the Hurricanes driving once more, junior defensive end Jared Kirksey finally put an end to the Wren momentum for good with a huge fourth-down stop, and Daniel cruised to a 36-14 victory to seal a shot at the Upper State championship this Friday night at Greer.
“That stop was huge,” Daniel coach Jeff Fruster said. “At that point, they had the momentum swing in their direction, and if we had allowed points on that drive they could have just kept moving.”
“It was a big stop for our defense,” added Kirksey. “We knew we had to go out there and do something big to stop them.”
The Lion defense did a remarkable job slowing down the Wren offense on the night, holding the Hurricanes to just 14 points and holding Mr. Football finalist Tyrell Jackson to just 32 yards passing and 25 on the ground before he left the game for good to end the first half.
“We know the caliber of athlete Jackson is,” Fruster said. “We know that he

Clean Sweep
Tigers survive for fifth win in a row over Gamecocks, cap perfect regular season

CLEMSON — It wasn’t pretty, and Clemson’s defense struggled Saturday night against South Carolina and quarterback Jake Bentley, but the No. 2 Tigers pulled away in the second half to win their fifth straight game over 
the rival Gamecocks.
Clemson finished the regular season 12-0 for just the third time, but it had to earn a hard-fought 56-35 win against South Carolina (6-5) on a frigid, foggy night in Death Valley.
Bentley passed for a career-high 510 yards and a career-best five touchdowns, but Clemson accumulated 744 yards of total offense — its most ever against South Carolina — led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s career-high 393 yards passing and the Tigers’ six rushing touchdowns, led by Adam Choice’s three.
“That was an amazing performance by our offense,” Clemson coach Dabo

Seeing positives
Stewart proud of Devils’ 2018 effort
By Clay Counts
Special to The Courier
claycounts21@yahoo.com
LIBERTY — Although their season came to an end with a loss at undefeated Chester in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs, the Liberty Red Devils have much to be proud of heading into the offseason.
The 2018 season was one full of highs and lows, but through all those lows, the team gained valuable experience they carried over from week to week. Falling just short of the .500 mark with a 5-6 record, the Devils did accomplish a first in school history with their third consecutive trip to the
