USC announces big name change in honor of former Columbia mayor Steve Benjamin

The University of South Carolina is naming its campus leadership center after former Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin. The university announced the move in a media release Thursday, ahead of a Friday ceremony to christen the center inside the Columbia campus’ Russell House student union. The center will now be known as the Steven K. Benjamin Leadership and Service Center. “As a student, I saw firsthand how mentors, service and a community that believes in you can help turn potential into purpose,” Benjamin said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “My hope is that the Stephen K. Benjamin Leadership and Service Center will give students the same opportunities to learn, listen and serve alongside their neighbors while using their voices and talents to create meaningful change.” The center serves as the central hub for more than 700 USC student organizations, student government, the university’s Graduate Student Association and other service and leadership development programs, USC said. The name change recognizes a Carolina alumnus. Benjamin earned a bachelor’s in political science in 1991 and graduated from USC’s law school in 1994. In his time at the university, Benjamin was student body president and president of the Student Bar Association. He went on

QB Davis Taylor needs 63 passing yards for 1,000 on the season. Chance Bryant has returned three interceptions for touchdowns.

Lynch has rushed for 1,458 yards this season and 5,153 rushing yards for his career. Lexington (6-4) at Fort Mill (8-2): First meeting between two teams since 2015. Lexington leads the all-time

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
