Track Athletes Race
For County Titles
Four Byrnes High School track athletes can add “county champion” to their list of accomplishments.

The Riverside baseball team will likely just miss the playoffs, finishing a game under .500 at 12-13.

The Warriors secured a fifth place finish and have petitioned to be the South Carolina High School League to be the at-large bid for the region, but a postseason appearance is unlikely.

Celebrities will make their way to the Thornblade Club May 19-22 for the  2016 BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation.

For the second consecutive year, the celebrity-studded affair will also include a free celebrity concert on Main, as well as an exclusive VIP concert.

More than 20 Eastside High seniors signed National Letters of Intent last Wednesday as part of a school-wide ceremony.
