HS Football Rewind: Keenan wins playoff opener. Dreher ends playoff drought

The Keenan Raiders are moving on in the playoffs. Hunter O’Neal ran for two touchdowns and Dante Howse had a key TD pass in the fourth quarter to help the Raiders past Newberry, 30-21 in the Class 2A playoffs on Friday. Keenan will host St. Joseph’s in the second round next week. It is Keenan’s third playoff win under coach Jarrett Nealy, who led the Raiders (8-3) to the third round in his first year in 2024. The Raiders were 3-8 last year but now have two eight-win seasons in the past three years. Friday’s matchup was the second meeting of the season between the two teams. Keenan won, 28-16, on Oct. 16. “Really hard to beat a team twice, especially a good team,” Neely said. “Newberry was young this year. But I knew they would come in and battle. We challenged our guys all week, and I think we came out and did what we are supposed to do.” The game had plenty of twists and turns in the second half. Keenan led 24-14 going to the fourth quarter, but Newberry blocked a punt and took over at the Raiders’ 2-yard line. Keenan’s Jamauri Johnson picked off Sincere Glymph

“I Got Booed”: Urban Meyer Recalls Horrific Florida Experience That Put His Family’s Livelihood at Risk

Eight seconds remained at The Swamp. Florida led South Carolina 17-16, but the Gamecocks had moved into range for Ryan Succop to attempt a 48-yard field goal. Steve Spurrier stood on the opposing sideline, looking for a win on his first visit to Gainesville as South Carolina’s head coach. Jarvis Moss had other plans. He rose above the protection, got a hand to the kick, and sent the ball away from the uprights. Florida survived. The Gators stayed in control of the SEC East race and kept their national championship hopes alive. That block became one of the defining plays of Urban Meyer’s early ...

Alan Wilson led SC Republicans through a brutal primary stretch. Building his government is next.

COLUMBIA — Heading into election night, attorney general and now governor-elect Alan Wilson struck a wager with another statewide official. The still-unidentified gambler said the governor’s race would be called for Wilson by 8 p.m. If it wasn’t, Wilson would win a free lunch. Wilson wasn’t so sure. Despite having the better-funded campaign and a larger operation than Democratic rival Jermaine Johnson, the Democrats had the wind in their sails with the war in Iran, a creeping affordability crisis and an unpopular Republican president dragging his party’s prospects down. Wilson entered the even...
