Paris Mountain State Park will hold an amphibian conservation program and a “Spring Hike” to Reservoir Three on Saturday, March 22.

A game featuring the best senior high school basketball players from Spartanburg and Greenville is set for March 15 at Dorman High.

The Rebels came up just shy of advancing to the state semifinals last week, falling in a tight contest to Hillcrest, 68-62.

The fourth-seeded Byrnes boys’ basketball team end a playoff run that saw two wins over higher-seeded opponents.

Last week, the Rebels were a few more ticks away from defeating another one.

It was not the first time Bentley had been offered the job, however. The long-time coach turned down Auburn last year to coach the Rebels.

Several area wrestlers took home state championships, while others were crowed runners-up at the Class AAA and Class AAAA individual state wrestling tournament last week.
