This week we go back 45 years to the days of the green and gold clad Pageland Tigers. Michael Broome played football, baseball and basketball for five years for Pageland High School. After graduating from high school in 1967 he attended Wingate College, receiving his associate degree in science. From there he went on to Clemson University earning his B.S. degree in industrial management.

Three students at Waiter’s Martial Arts Studio in Pageland recently achieved a milestone when they were awarded their black belts.

Tyrek Shaw, 11, and Grace Pittman, 16, earned their belts April 15 by passing an examination by Hanshi James White of Lancaster. Courtney Criminger, 15, passed her exam in November 2011.

Central’s baseball team made a quick exit from the state playoffs last week losing both of their games.

By winning their final two games of the regular season, Central’s Lady Eagles softball team ended the season tied with Indian Land for third place in Region 4AA. They both have the same record of 5-5 in the region. Those two teams played last night (Monday, April 23) at Andrew Jackson High School to decide the third and fourth place positions in the district playoffs which begin this Thursday, April 26.
