Jefferson’s Dixie Boys (ages 13-14) baseball team lost games to Pageland and McBee last week.

“It was a rough week of baseball,” Jefferson coach Tim Sullivan said. “With 13 and 14-year old boys you never know what you will get from day-to-day. We need to have more enthusiasm and more effort.”

Central’s pre-majors baseball team (ages 15-16) will play this week-end in the state tournament in Greer, SC July 16-17.

There are eight teams in the double elimination tournament. 

John Knight Sr. had a Corvette crush way back in 1968.
“I worked for a construction company in Charlotte and every week I’d go through Fayetteville (on the way to a job). They had a ’67 Corvette in a showroom there. It was 1968 but they still had the ’67. I wanted that thing so bad.”
But working and raising his family came first.
“Me and Bill (his wife Billie) and (sons) Johnny and Dale didn’t fit in a Corvette so I didn’t get one,” he said.
