Laurens Academy wasn’t playing, but I saw the baseball team at Dempsey’s Pizza. Friday figures to be busy. PC is playing baseball and the spring football scrimmage at the …

Blue Hose Blurbs: PC sets baseball record on Gamecocks’ big day
By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. I think my favorite UFL team is the Birmingham Stallions. This ranks on the personal totem pole at about the same level as my favorite team in the Premier League. I have nothing against either. I just don’t have room for an infinite variety of sports and …

Blue Hose Blurbs: McDaniel holds line for PC comeback
By MONTE DUTTON Eli Lazio (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. While waiting for the men’s Final Four games, which didn’t commence till 6 p.m., and while monitoring electronically local games, I enjoyed a documentary on William F.

County Signs: Hose home in baseball, softball
By MONTE DUTTON (PC photo) Click here. Was Iowa’s upset of South Carolina in the national semifinals a year ago the first time I ever heard of Caitlin Clark? I certainly know all about her now.

Breathes a TV-watching man or woman alive here who doesn’t know it’s been legal in North Carolina since March 11. It’ll probably infest us here in time. Remember when people used …

Blue Hose Blurbs: Something about the Peach State
(PC photo) Click here. I haven’t seen anything near a full major-league baseball game on TV. Basketball has dominated my viewing time. Most of what I’ve noticed is the Phils’ Bryce Harper, whom I watched crash over a rail in one game and hit two homers in another. The Tigers, Pirates and Brewers are undefeated. …

County Signs: Devils’ bats heard, Hose drop third
Carson Glenn (Monte Dutton photos) Click here. Once, when we experienced science fiction and special effects, the quality was such that we had to imagine it was real. Now it looks so real that we have to imagine that it isn’t. Who wants to see Iowa play LSU? How about LSU-South Carolina? South Carolina-Iowa? I …

Blue Hose Blurbs: First two at GWU
(PC photo) Click here. In the immortal commercial words of Mike Krzyzewski, “Who needs championships when you can look at birds?” I’m starting to add words to the CBS March Madness theme. Everyone talks about the Big Dance. And the Sweet Sixteen. And the Elite Eight. And the Final Four. Why no love for the …
Blue Hose Blurbs: They played, and it was close
Samage Teel scored a career-best 28 points. (Monte Dutton photo) Click here. Is it me, or did the Blue Hose’ 52-point loss to South Carolina seem a bit less painful when the Gamecocks pulverized the Tar Heels by 47? It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a pure shooter like Oakland’s Jack Gohlke. Emphasis on …
