Scout Motors Starts Building Vehicles

Scout Motors took the next step toward putting trucks on the road, confirming it has officially started assembling validation vehicles at its new production center in Blythewood, South Carolina. Factory construction has entered its final phase, with the majority of production equipment installed and active. These initial validation builds serve to stress-test tooling, verify assembly line sequencing, and catch manufacturing bottlenecks before series production ramps up. "What we are building in Blythewood is no longer a promise on paper," said Scout Motors President and CEO Scott Keogh. "Our equipment is coming to life, and our teams are building our first validation vehicles right here in the factory." Inside the Blythewood Assembly Line The South Carolina facility relies heavily on automated manufacturing and precision quality checks: Body Shop: More than 750 industrial robots join roughly 160 stamped components per vehicle using approximately 5,000 weld points. Scout utilizes AI-assisted weld monitoring alongside high-precision dimensional scanners, pulling sample bodies off the line for thousands of individual measurements before clearing them for paint. Paint Shop: Completed bodies travel into an electrified paint facility for cleaning, anti-corrosion treatment, primer and color coats, curing, and surface inspection. General Assembly: Technicians install wiring harnesses, glazing, interior seating,

Former Gamecock QB Corey Jenkins makes history coaching his high school alma mater

For 32 years, Dreher High football has been forced to cling to a singular victory and the what-if it sparked. During the first round of the 1994 playoffs, the Blue Devils built up a 21-0 third-quarter lead over the defending state champs, Cheraw, when their senior quarterback broke his leg. The toll of a season’s worth of stress fractures came due. An ambulance drove onto the field ... and just sat there. Corey Jenkins asked the doctor if he could go back in. The doctor unwrapped his leg and showed that it was in two pieces. Jenkins did not go back in the game — but he also refused to leave until the game was over, leaving an ambulance driver waiting until Dreher hung on for the 21-14 first-round victory before zipping the QB to Baptist Medical Center. That was the last high school football game Jenkins, now 50, ever played. It was also the Blue Devils’ last playoff victory — until last Friday. Jenkins, now in his fifth season coaching his alma mater, led Dreher (8-3) to its first playoff victory in over three decades, a 20-19 win over Wilson in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs.

Jury awards $24 million in Columbia malpractice case after pilot's death

A jury in Columbia has awarded $24 million to the estate of a 36-year-old father and decorated F-16 fighter pilot who died after complications from a heart procedure, according to legal fillings. The jury found a radiologist at fault for failing to identify an esophageal perforation on a CT angiogram, and found the radiologist grossly negligent. The estate alleged the scan was read as normal despite the patient’s symptoms continuing for about a month after an ablation for atrial fibrillation. He died 12 days after the scan from complications related to the perforation. The verdict followed a two-week trial that began Oct. 26. It included $14,645,390 in non-economic damages for wrongful death. The patient’s estate had previously settled with the cardiologist who performed the ablation for $1.2 million. The patient was a commercial pilot, husband and father of two young daughters, according to the lawsuit. Plaintiff’s attorneys were John Kassel, Theile McVey and Jamie Raie Rutskoski of Kassel McVey, and Thad Myers. Mark S. Barrow and Marshall C. Crane of Sweeny Wingate & Barrow represented the radiologist.

What Gamecocks' first SEC availability report says about LaNorris Sellers' status

As expected: No. 17 South Carolina listed quarterback LaNorris Sellers in its first availability report ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas. After injuring his ankle during the Gamecocks’ 17-9 win over Texas A&M last week, Sellers is designated as questionable three days out from USC’s game in Fayetteville. Receivers Nyck Harbor and Nitro Tuggle and defensive back J’Zavien Currence also were listed as questionable. Sellers got tests done on his ankle Sunday night and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said “everything looked good,” giving him the confidence to say, “We fully expect him to play (against Arkansas).” In the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Aggies, a Texas A&M defender landed on Sellers’ left ankle as he sacked the Gamecocks’ quarterback. Sellers left the game and immediately got X-rays inside Williams-Brice Stadium. When those came back negative, meaning there was no break, it allowed Sellers to continue playing. Early in the second half, it was clear he was struggling to manage the pain. He wasn’t stepping into throws. He consistently looked down at his ankle after bad throws. He seemed unsure of how much the ankle could take. Eventually, though, the injury’s affects weren’t showing themselves as much, which

"She Does All the Things That Most Players Don't Wanna Do.": Dawn Staley Highlights South Carolina Star's Selfless Play After Scoreless Outing

Ashlyn Watkins did not have the kind of offensive outing that usually attracts attention in South Carolina’s 84-39 demolition of North Carolina. The fifth-year senior forward went scoreless in 17 minutes off the bench, missing all four of her field-goal attempts. But while the box score suggests a quiet night, Watkins was anything but invisible. She grabbed 10 rebounds, recorded a steal and a block, and helped the Gamecocks dominate the boards. Speaking about Watkins’ performance, a video of which Fox’s Matt Dowell shared on X, head coach Dawn Staley highlighted the forward’s contributions to ...

“There’s No Doubt We Can Beat Them”: Clemson Coach Sends Blunt Warning to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Ahead of Thursday’s Clash

Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks have established themselves as one of the most dominant programs in women’s college basketball. However, Clemson head coach Shawn Poppie isn’t intimidated by the No. 1-ranked team ahead of Thursday’s rivalry showdown. Speaking during a press conference ahead of the game, Poppie explained why he expects his team to deliver a stronger performance against the Gamecocks. “I think that for them as young people, and this is no disrespect to the first three opponents we had, it’s harder to get them focused for those three than it is this one. I think that, in itself, you’re gonna see a different team come Thursday just based on the opponent, right, of how your focus level is leading up… I, as the head coach, want us to play better than we did the first three games. But you’re trying to convince 18 to 22-year-olds that believe that we’re probably better than them, we don’t have to play our best. It’s the fine line. I think there’s no doubt in that locker room that we think that we can beat them on Thursday,” Poppie said. Clemson WBB coach Shawn Poppie, previewing Thursday’s game vs. No. 1 South Carolina
