This South Carolina Buffet Restaurant Is So Good It Is Practically A Hidden Gem

The fried chicken at this South Carolina buffet comes with its own official title: Famous Southern Fried Chicken. I like a kitchen that boldly prints that word right on the menu. The buffet sits inside a church banquet and conference center, which already makes it unusual. Lunch runs only four...

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.

HS football playoffs Week 2 schedule: Top games, injury questions for Dutch Fork

Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence. He has appeared in five games this season and is 16 of 23 for 131 yards. Dutch Fork and most of the other top teams in the area had first-round byes last week. The second round of the playoffs features many intriguing matchups. Here are some to keep an eye on Friday. Games to Watch (7) Fort Mill (9-2) at (2) Dutch Fork (9-0): First meeting between the two teams since 2013. Dutch Fork leads the all-time series, 6-4, including a 2-0 mark under Tom

A pair of Columbia-area bagel sandwich shops have closed. What to know

A pair of Midlands bagel sandwich shops have announced their closure. Stacked, which had bagel sandwich restaurants at 2835 Devine St. in Columbia and 5580 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington, announced in Thursday posts on social media that both locations have closed. The locations are also marked a permanently closed on Google. “That’s a wrap,” Stacked said on Instagram. “After countless bagels, wraps, salads and memories made, both Stacked locations have officially closed their doors. To everyone who walked through our doors, shared a meal with us, brought a friend or made Stacked part of their daily routine, thank you. Your love and support have meant more to us than we can put into words.” The two Midlands storefronts opened a few years ago as Sully’s Steamers bagel sandwich locations. Earlier this year both the Columbia and Lexington addresses switched to the Stacked brand. Stacked offered number of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, including a host of “signature stacks” that could be served as a wrap or on a toasted or steamed bagel. They also had salads and other offerings. “While this chapter has come to an end, we will always be grateful for the memories made, the friendships formed and the

Shane Beamer gives latest word on LaNorris Sellers' chances to play vs. Arkansas

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is trending toward playing against Arkansas, according to coach Shane Beamer. During his weekly radio show, Beamer said Sellers will be listed as probable on the latest injury report that will come out Thursday at 8:15 p.m. Sellers was listed as questionable on the first availability report released Wednesday. “He has worked really, really hard to get himself back to where he feels, and we feel good about him being out there on Saturday night,” Beamer said. “He did more today than he did yesterday and did more yesterday than he did the day before. He keeps progressing.” Defensive back J’Zavien Currence and receiver Nitro Tuggle are out for this week, according to Beamer. Tuggle got “banged up” in practice, Beamer said. This is the second straight game Currence will miss. Beamer said starting receiver Nyck Harbor is doubtful. Harbor injured his hand last week against Texas A&M. 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. The X-rays came back negative and Sellers played the whole second

FAA ground stop halts departures in Columbia, nationwide. Here's what we know.

A nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop is holding flights that have not departed the runway — in Columbia and nationwide — according to Columbia Metropolitan Airport spokesperson, Kim Crafton. Only aircraft on airport ramps and those that had not yet departed were affected, Crafton said, adding that aircraft already en route can continue to their destinations. The cause and expected duration were not confirmed. “This is pretty unprecedented because there’s only been two other times this has happened, one of which was 911,” Crafton said. An equipment or communications outage might have triggered the FAA’s action, Crafton said, stressing that officials had not shared further details. The Department of Homeland Security have indicated that there are no indications of a cyberattack, and all aircraft are accounted for, despite a number of planes remaining in the air, Crafton said. Travelers scheduled to fly later Friday were urged to check their airline’s flight status before heading to the airport.

Will ‘ESPN College GameDay' come for South Carolina-Georgia? What needs to happen

Talk to any Gamecock fan right now and you could be forgiven for forgetting about the football game this weekend. Yes, No. 17 South Carolina (6-3, 4-3 SEC) plays a game at Arkansas on Saturday (7:45 p.m., SEC Network). And no, that has not stopped anyone from looking ahead to the behemoth matchup in two weeks, when No. 1 Georgia will travel to Williams-Brice Stadium with a College Football Playoff berth potentially on the line for USC. Obviously, there will be no dream of a spot in the CFP if the Gamecocks don’t handle business this week at Arkansas (3-6, 1-5 SEC), where South Carolina is a 7.5-point favorite. Also potentially on the line: Hosting ESPN’s “College GameDay” pregame TV show next week. If the Gamecocks win on Saturday, it seems plausible — if not extremely likely — to think that “College GameDay” could set up in Columbia ahead of South Carolina-Georgia. If you look across the college football schedule of games for Nov. 21, there are few other matchups with stakes that rival that of Georgia-South Carolina. As of now, there are only two other ranked matchups going on across the country. No. 21 LSU plays at No. 8
