February often brings the coldest weather of the year. However, this year was different. For most of the month, the weather and fishing conditions have been outstanding. Last Monday, that was certainly the case. Warm temperatures, sunshine and a light breeze conspired to have me drop everything...
Bishop England High School basketball standout Aidan McCool scored his 1,000th career point in a rare loss to Georgetown on Feb. 7. But McCool didn’t have reason to celebrate until four days later when the Battling Bishops edged Manning 60-56 for an impressive road victory. That gave the Bishops a...
The reigning queens of Class AAA basketball in the Palmetto State, the Bishop England High School varsity girls, opened the first round of the state playoffs with a game on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 17. The Bishops were more than up for the challenge against a Lake City team that traveled to...
Forget March Madness. There was too much going on, too much at stake, to look ahead to the postseason. Three local high school teams — the Philip Simmons High School girls’ team, along with both Bishop England squads — had a chance to win region titles on the final day of the regular season, which...
