SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - Two new members will be joining Dorchester School District Two’s board in the next couple of weeks after the election, and they have revealed what they plan to focus on over the next four years.

Cynthia Powell and Kellie Bates are the newest board members for Dorchester School District Two.

Powell is 37-year veteran educator, who taught ancient history and Language Arts, and wants to cut into the shortages the district is suffering.

“We, as educators, have never been paid what we are truly worth,” Powell said. “Then, along with that, we need to work on the discipline problems that sometimes motivate teachers to just say, ‘I’ve had enough.’”

Bates is a parent who has been involved in her children’s education in Dorchester School District Two.

She said her main goals include improving student safety, student discipline and increasing transparency.

“I think school safety is on the heart of everybody in our community,” Bates said. “I think it’s really important. As a parent, I want to know I can send my kids to school, and that they’re safe.”

Powell is the first African American elected to sit on the board in over 10 years.

She believes she can bring a fresh perspective for an ever growing and diverse district.

“I believe when God created us in multiple colors, he intended for us to be seen as we are,” Powell said, “so sometimes, you may think you understand the perspective of someone of a different ethnicity when you really don’t.”

Bates, meanwhile, said she wants to tighten up the district’s finances, adding the board needs to be accountable for how they spend money.

“I think with the new superintendent coming in, it’s really important to take a deep dive in our finances,” Bates said. “The way we’ve been spending our money and ensure we’ve been doing it responsibly in a way that honors our community and serves our students.”

Powell and Bates will be sworn in during the board’s next meeting on Nov. 28. Both have also worked as substitute teachers in the district prior to their election.

NEWBERRY, S.C. – Playing host to the first ever South Atlantic Conference Championship, the No. 21 Newberry College (9-2, 7-2 SAC) football team did not disappoint in front of the home crowd as they we are to take home the crown in the conference with a 27-24 win over Mars Hill on Saturday, November 12.

While the Lions had the slight edge in overall yardage in the contest, the Wolves had a strong 209-92 advantage in rushing yards, thanks to the effort of sophomore Mario Anderson (Summerville, S.C.) who took 33 carries for 144 yards on the day on his way to being named the game MVP by the league. Graduate Dre Harris (Greenville, S.C.) rushed for 42 yards in the game while tossing for 163, including two scores, one each way.

Graduate tight end Tommy Washington (Spartanburg, S.C.) led the way for the receiving core as he hauled in five catches for 64 yards including the game winning touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Graduate Bryson Woodruff (Roebuck, S.C.) also brought in five receptions for 36 yards in the game.

Defensively, the Wolves were led by junior Luke Taylor (Summerville, S.C.) who recorded five total tackles and an interception in the contest, which he returned 17 yards. Senior AJ Valentine (Johnston, S.C.) also recorded five tackles and a pass breakup. Graduate Chico Onyekwere (Washington, D.C.) hauled in what turned into the biggest interception of the Wolves season as his pick set up the game winning drive for Newberry.

Though the Wolves would receive the opening kick-off it wouldn’t be until their second drive of the game when they were able to put the first points up on the board. A trio of double-digit gains highlighted the drive for the Wolves, and it was capped off by a three-yard option run by Anderson to give the Wolves the 7-0 lead.

Newberry’s defense forced the second straight three-and-out for the Lions and they would turn that into three more points on their next drive that carried over into the second quarter as senior Lawson Reel (Johnston, S.C.) converted from 34 yards out and extended the Wolves lead out to 10. The Wolves would quickly get the ball back as Taylor would intercept the first pass on the next drive, and though Newberry wouldn’t add any thing to their score on the ensuing drive, they would hold Mars Hill to just a touchdown while adding another field goal in the opening half to take the 13-7 lead into the break.

Mars Hill drove down the field in the opening possession of the second half but was only able to get three points out of the trip. After getting the ball back after a short Newberry drive, the Lions took their first lead of the day with a methodical aerial attack that saw them take the 17-13 advantage out of the third quarter. Newberry would cap off a drive that carried over into the fourth quarter as Harris would take it himself around the left-hand side to bring the score back in favor of the Wolves, 20-17.

The Wolves next drive was ended by the Mars Hill defense and the Lions quickly turned their opportunity into a one play touchdown drive that gave them the 24-20 advantage. But their quickness in scoring on that possession would prove to be costly as the Wolves were able convert an Onyekwere interception just a drive later into what would be the eventual game-winning drive.

After taking a timeout in a critical location staring at fourth and five from the Mars Hill ten-yard line, the Wolves would execute a misdirection pass play that saw Harris’ pass find Washington in the opposite corner of the end zone and give the Wolves the 27-24 lead for good.

Prior to the game, junior Carson Smith (Abbeville, S.C.) was named the SAC Wealth Enhancement Group Elite 23 award winner for having the top GPA among student-athletes in the championship contest.

The Wolves will now await their fate at the hands of the Super Region II Selection Committee on their possible bid to the NCAA tournament for a second straight year. The selection show will take place on Sunday, November 23 at 5:30 p.m. and can be viewed live on NCAA.com.

After a record-breaking 2022 Elite Series season that awarded eight Century Belts, crowned four first-time champions and garnered over 18.5 million views on FOX and the FOX Sports channels, B.A.S.S. announced the new expanded field for the 2023 Elite Series.

Next year, 104 anglers will compete for an Elite Series purse of over $6.9 million. Joining the ranks of the most prominent circuit in sportfishing are 12 qualifiers from the hotly contested St. Croix Bassmaster Opens presented by Mossy Oak Fishing, the TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation champion and legendary Bassmaster Classic champion and two-time Angler of the Year Larry Nixon.

“I can’t wait for the 2023 season to start and think the schedule sets up really well for big catches, big drama and big excitement,” said the Elite Series Tournament Director Lisa Talmadge. “The Elite Series field is absolutely stacked, and fans are going to love following their favorite anglers as well as meeting this talented crop of rookies. And the new guys in the field have such broad appeal to those who love bass fishing, from a true icon of the sport in former Classic and AOY champion Larry Nixon to Cole Sands, who won a College Series National Championship just two years ago.”

With the exception of four anglers who retired, the entire 2022 Elite roster is returning next year. This list of returning anglers includes 2022 Bassmaster Classic champion Jason Christie of Park Hill, Okla., who also claimed a blue trophy on Chickamauga Lake last season. Idaho pro Brandon Palaniuk took Progressive Insurance Bassmaster Angler of the Year honors — his second time to earn the coveted title — while Jay Przekurat of Stevens Point, Wis., earned a Century Belt with all smallmouth — a feat never before accomplished — to claim a victory on the St. Lawrence River en route to winning Falcon Rods Rookie of the Year.

They will be joined by an accomplished rookie class that includes two international anglers — Kyoya Fujita of Japan and Cooper Gallant of Canada — who earned their spots via the Northern and Southern Opens respectively. Also earning a spot in the Elites via the Northern Opens is Alex Wetherell of Middletown, Conn., who won the 2010 Junior Bassmaster World Championship. Bryant Smith of Roseville, Calif., and Joey Cifuentes III of Clinton, Ark., both qualified through the Southern Opens. Kyle Norsetter of Cottage Grove, Wis., and Logan Latuso of Gonzales, La., who has twice been one spot away from realizing his Elite dream, secured their berths via the Central Opens. David Gaston of Sylacauga, Ala., Sands of Calhoun, Tenn., and two-time NPFL tour winner John Soukup of Sapulpa, Okla., qualified via the overall points standings.

Will Davis Jr. of Sylacauga, Ala., won last week’s TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on Pickwick Lake and has also been extended an Elite Series invitation. Part of his “Nation’s Best” prize package includes the use of a fully rigged boat and $16,000 toward his entry fees.

Along with Nixon, who is joining the field via a Legends exemption, there are also two former Elite Series anglers who requalified for the tour through the Opens Series points standings.

Keith Poche of Pike Road, Ala., won the Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year title to earn his invitation to rejoin the Elites. He’ll be joined by Central Opens points standings winner Bradley Hallman of Edmond, Okla., who found success with FLW after leaving the Elite Series in 2011.

The 2023 Elite Series season kicks off on Florida’s Lake Okeechobee Feb. 16. From there the tournament trail will wind through seven states as anglers battle each other — and big bass — for cash and prizes and attempt to qualify for the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic.

Each tournament will begin with the full field of anglers on Days 1 and 2 before the field is cut to 50 for the semifinal round on Day 3. Only the Top 10 remaining anglers will fish the final day of each event with a $100,000 first-place prize on the line.
