Paladins let the good times roll
By MONTE DUTTON Carter Whitt was all over the floor. (Monte Dutton photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ Maybe it’s the gray uniforms.

Paladins, who can actually spell Valkyries, rout them
Kate Johnson (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie is one of a host of women who accompany deceased souls to Valhalla, which is almost near Seneca. Its original meaning is “chooser of the slain.” Converse (5-7) got it backwards on Sunday women’s basketball at Timmons Arena. Furman (10-6) routed the Valkyries, 93-40, in …
