On a ’92 Seneca pass-thru, a president’s security concern
When a train carrying the then-President George H-W Bush approached Seneca during the 1992 campaign, the train slowed but never stopped. And that surprised people who gathered near the Seneca Depot. Devoe Blackston, mayor at the time, believes it had to do with concerns on the part of the president’s security team. And it had something to do with a telephone call Blackston received from someone wanting to know Bush’s time-of-arrival. Blackston got suspicious and relayed the call to the police station where Secret Service agents were going over security arrangements. In an interview airing today on 101.7/WGOG, the then-mayor explains exactly why he became suspicious.

Clemson offensive line coach shares injury update on Walker Parks
One of the areas the Tigers need the most help with in the 2024 season is the offensive line, and the return of veteran lineman Walker Parks should definitely help there. In 2023, Parks had a season-ending lower-body injury against Charleston Southern, which resulted in him playing just two games and 123 offensive snaps. Now a redshirt senior, Parks is in his fifth and final year with the program. During Dabo Swinney’s Media Outing at the Allen Reeves Football Complex on Tuesday, offensive line coach Matt Luke shared an injury update on Parks. “He is doing well,” Luke said “That was a tough one just because I did not get him in the bowl game or spring practice, but right now, he looks as good as he has looked since I have been here. He is full speed running and he is full speed in the weight room. It will probably be five or six practices in before we really know more.” Hopefully, Parks will be 100% by the start of the season. The Tigers need him to compete for an ACC Championship.

2024 Football Preview: Boiling Springs
Since Matt Reel took over the program, Boiling Springs has shown steady signs of improvement.

Last season, that win total doubled, with the Bulldogs snapping another losing streak en route to their first region 2-5A win under Reel’s leadership when they knocked off Spartanburg 24-17, which was enough for them to earn the 4th seed in the playoffs.
