Bruins win over Warriors

BUFORD – If one didn’t know different, they might have doubted the final score after seeing the post-game reaction from opposing coaches in the Lancaster-Indian Land clash at Buford High’s Jackets Stadium on Friday night.

The Bruins, in their second meeting ever with their rivals from the county Panhandle, prevailed in a 21-7 victory over the Warriors.

The game was played at the BHS field due to construction delays at Lancaster Memorial Stadium with the installation of the FieldTurf.

Column: Trump’s half-hearted rebuke no surprise

When I saw TV coverage of last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va., I had a hard time distinguishing some of the civilians from the police and National Guard.
Some of them arrived in camouflage and riot gear, wearing helmets and protective vests. A few carried guns.
Some of these armed protesters openly identified themselves as “Unite the Right” supporters to reporters on the scene. The allegiance of others was not as clear.
It seemed to me they were spoiling for a fight. And they made sure they got one.

Column: President is getting a raw deal

Like everyone who watches the news, I have been inundated with the story of the protest in Charlottesville.
After days of watching CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News and MSNBC, I’m troubled by the lack of focus on what actually happened in Charlottesville last Saturday. Most of the coverage has concerned President Trump’s comments about the event.
Many of the news outlets are not reporting news as much as taking another opportunity to display their political bias and hatred toward Trump.
