Each week, I will post questions, thoughts and links for you to read and make comments about. Each student can respond to a minimum of twice weekly. This can be counted as extra credit. Let me know if you have any questions about the current events blog. This can be done during our class time or you can work from home. As we explore many different aspects of reading, writing, and current events, I think you will enjoy reading a variety of articles.

Zack Parker stated, " I had a terrible first game, but I am looking forward to bouncing back, and having a great season. We are capable of winning every game from this point on. We had a tough loss at Batesburg, but Monday we will come out with a lot of energy and play hard to try and beat Merriweather."

What a disappointment for the Gamecocks!!
I thought the Gamecocks would have been more competitive on Saturday. What did you think? I felt sick when that bobble or tip of the football at half time turned into a touchdown.
