Amberjacks are an underrated species. They are abundant in our nearshore waters. They grow large. They fight hard. They are reasonably easy to catch. Around here, most people don’t eat them. However, in Florida, you will often find them on restaurant menus. Whether you eat them or not, if you are...
Philip Simmons and Bishop England are well represented on the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association’s all-state team.   Philip Simmons landed two players on the Class AA team: Miles Haight and Kennedy Rivers. Bishop England’s selections include Ally Dominiak and Ella Schar. They made...
In the movie “Field of Dreams,” Kevin Costner’s character famously heard a distinct message whispered among the cornstalks.    “If you build it, they will come.”    While the reference applied to baseball, the same could be said for lacrosse — especially on Daniel Island, where the...

One of the good things about living in the Lowcountry is the weather. If you don’t like it, wait an hour or so and it will change. Oftentimes dramatically. Saturday was one of those days. We went from windy and cold to sunny and warm. Of course, this “required” me to go fishing. So, Brody, Dave...
Longtime Daniel Island resident John Bobey takes home the Laura Alberts gift card with his big Super Bowl win over sportswriter Phil Bowman.    Bobey went 10-2 to defeat Bowman, an Ohio native and Cincinnati Bengals fan, who finished this week with a 6-6 record.   Bobey and his wife, Rona...
