Popular Midlands restaurant chain plots Columbia location. Where will it be?

A well-known Midlands Mexican restaurant chain is eyeing a new Columbia location, according to public records. Brothers & Beer, which already has three locations in the area, is planning a new spot at 1132 Devine St. in downtown Columbia, near the University of South Carolina. The restaurant would be near the corner of Main and Devine Streets. City of Columbia records indicate that Brothers & Beer filed for permits for signage and fire protection systems in October. Also, public notices have been filed showing that Brothers & Beer will apply for alcohol licenses for 1132 Devine St. via the state Department of Revenue. This would be the fourth Brothers & Beer Mexican restaurant in the Midlands. Other locations are at 205 Columbia Ave. in Lexington, at 1270 Bower Parkway in the Harbison shopping district, and at 2736 N. Lake Drive near Irmo and Lake Murray. The menu at Brothers & Beer features a host of Mexican favorites, including nachos, quesadillas, fajita salads, combination plates, chimichangas, burritos and more. The Devine Street Brothers & Beer would be in the midst of a busy area, with lots of foot traffic from USC. Meanwhile, about 20,000 cars per day traverse nearby Assembly Street,

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.

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
