A city within a city: West Columbia’s ‘most transformative’ development project ever moves forward

WEST COLUMBIA— What the city’s mayor calls one of the most transformative projects in West Columbia's history is moving forward after the city council approved rezoning for almost 10 acres of land at a meeting on Oct. 19. Originally announced in 2022, the project is set to transform the historic Colite manufacturing facility into Colite City, a multi-use hub where people can live, work, eat and shop. “Colite City will be the most enjoyable and desirable space to live, work and play in the Midlands,” according to documents pitching the project to the city. “From craft breweries, gorgeous flex s...

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...

The Georgia-South Carolina game will be televised on ABC. Before playing South Carolina in Week 12, Georgia hosts the Missouri Tigers . South Carolina plays at Arkansas prior to hosting Georgia. The Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3 SEC) remain in the hunt for a College Football Playoff spot, but will need to win out. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) will close its SEC schedule at South Carolina as the Bulldogs try to secure a final trip to the SEC championship game . Georgia could clinch an SEC championship game berth before playing South Carolina if the Bulldogs beat Missouri and get some help. South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers has led the Gamecocks to four straight SEC wins after an 0-3 start. The Gamecocks have relied on Sellers, who has 15 total touchdowns in South Carolina's last four games. However, Sellers suffered an ankle injury against Texas A&M and may not be able to run as effectively. We'll see how healthy he looks this week at Arkansas. He is expected to play this

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.

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

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

"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 ...

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
