Mortgage Broker in Valley Falls, SC

It just wasn't the Sioux City East High School baseball team's day.

East entered as the No. 3 seed in Class 4A Substate 3, but fourth-seeded West Des Moines Valley jumped out to an early four-run lead and rode good pitching and good defense to an 11-0 win in six innings in Saturday's 4A first round game at East High School.

"Valley just hit the ball well, and starting out four in the hole is a tough way to start," East head coach Trevor Miller said.

Hopes of a second round game somewhere in Sioux City crumbled on two fronts Saturday as midway through the Stars-Tigers contest word made its way around that SC North was upset by Council Bluffs Lincoln, 5-4. North, the No. 2 seed in 4A Substate 3, ended the season 26-13 after winning the Missouri River Athletic Conference.

"We were fortunate to get some hits early," said Valley head coach Ryan Cooley. "Once that happened, even when (East) got runners on, we could still attack and didn't have to pitch around anybody, then turned a couple of double plays that kept (East) from scoring."

Valley will host Lincoln on Monday, with the winner drawing top-seeded Johnston in the substate final.

"It'll be fun to be back at home. This is my last season, so it's awesome that we get one more home game," Cooley said.

East stands to bring a good majority of its lineup back in 2024. East had five hitters in its lineup on Saturday that are sophomores this season or younger. Also, freshman Bohdy Colling started at second base and was hit for by sophomore designated hitter Jax Theeler.

Despite being one of the MRAC's youngest teams, the Black Raiders won 25 games and finished the campaign 10 games over .500.

Freshman catcher Logan Cherkas went 2-for-3 with a walk in the loss.

For Valley (15-20), junior Zach Byrne finished the game 3-for-4 with five RBIs and a run scored.

Senior leadoff hitter Ty Plummer and senior designated hitter Luke Christensen each added three hits for the Tigers, and Plummer chipped in an RBI. Charlie Krueger drove in three. The Valley junior left fielder doubled to right-center in the first inning to start the scoring and put the Tigers up 2-0.

Byrne then followed with his own two-RBI double, one of Valley's 16 hits for the game to East's seven.

"We knew we could do this all season long," Byrne said. "It meant a lot to us to come out hot and get up early. We've had a bunch of energy all week. On the bus coming up here, we just knew we would do well.

"I just tried having the same approach as always, and that's to go up (to the plate) and hit strikes."

Junior Jeff Rose pitched all but the final out for the Tigers and got the win. It took reliever Brenden Scoonover two pitches to get the third out of the sixth after being called upon.

East senior Lincoln Colling (5-3) took the loss as starter.

"Lincoln came out and threw in the zone. They were just hitting him," said Miller. "That's the tough part about baseball. I'd be upset if he walked guys and was out of the zone."

To their credit, a pair of East seniors extended their careers, if only for a few minutes, by reaching with two outs in the seventh when left-fielder Kelynn Jacobsen walked and center-fielder Brecken Schossow singled. Nonetheless, Valley ultimately got the one out needed to end it in six.

The Black Raiders' exiting seniors are Colling, Jacobsen, Schossow, Austin Sheppard and Jacob Denker. East has won over 100 varsity games since that group's freshmen season.

"A couple of kids from that group started for three years," said Miller. "It's really hard to say bye to that class. They all had really big parts in this program. We have to replace a lot of pitching from them. Kelynn Jacobsen and Brecken Schossow have been with our defense for three years, so we'll have to find guys to replace those roles."

Colling and Theeler ended with the season tied for the RBI lead on East with 37 each. Theeler ended with a Black Raiders-best 68 total bases for the year.

"We were young this year, which is exciting," said Miller. "(Freshman) Cal Jepsen is an awesome player. Jax is great. Bohdy Colling is a freshman with a live arm. We had Kason Clayborne hitting cleanup for us as an eighth-grader.

"He's years away from even being able to drive to our games, but came out here and played in this big game against 18-year-olds. So there's some excitement for the future, but it doesn't take away from the pain we're feeling today."

While summer is when many tourists visit different places, fall might just be the best time to explore the United States, and there are plenty of spots to choose from. The cooler temperatures and numerous leaf-peeping opportunities make autumn a magical time to visit some of America’s most beautiful towns and cities. The season comes with endless fun outdoor adventures, ranging from apple picking to hay rides to taking train rides through the countryside.

The Berkshires, Acadia National Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are some of the most popular spots to visit in the season. However, being incredibly famous spots, these places can have massive crowds, and spending a holiday in such a spot isn’t exactly the definition of having a good time. So, why not opt for less-crowded U.S. destinations for this fall?

PIEDMONT, S.C. —

The Wren High School boys' soccer season has come to an end early, due to South Carolina High School League ineligibility of one player.

Ethan Gilstrap, a standout player for the program, has played with the Wren High School soccer team all season, despite not being enrolled at the high school.

Ethan is dual-enrolled, one with Silicon Valley High School which is an all-virtual private school, and with Anderson Christian School which is a private in-person school.

A meeting was held with the team by coaches and administration on Thursday at the school to further discuss the ending of their season. A handful of parents decided to show up as well, including team mom Anna Steele.

Steele said parents and players are frustrated, disappointed and are having a hard time finding the words to describe what it means for the season to be taken away.

"Now to have this happen and to know it was based off of a basically clerical error, or discrepancy in the by-laws," Steele said. "Vague by-laws. The information we were just given is that your high school athletic director submits the eligibility from their end, and then the high school league there's no confirmation back from them. You just assume if you don't hear back from them then everyone on your roster is eligible."

Steele said the above statement is what she learned in the meeting from the school's athletic director.

In a video obtained by WYFF News 4 from inside the meeting, the athletic director can be heard telling parents and students, "I thought it was a charter school, because all of the information given to me didn't list that it was a private school."

South Carolina High School League commissioner Jerome Singleton said the SCHSL adheres to state laws.

"There's nothing that speaks to the private school part of it," Singleton said. "Our basic rule is that you must be in attendance of the school you represent. The state legislature put in a piece that addresses homeschool. The membership rule is that you've got to be a student at the school that you represent."

In the SCHSL's by-laws, Section 6 was presented by parents during the meeting as the reason the ineligible ruling was unfair.

Section 6, A, states:

"A student must be enrolled in the school at which he/she practices or

"participates; except, home schooled students and/or charter school students,

"and/or virtual school students, and/or Governor’s schooled students subject to

"certain conditions, are eligible at the public school in the attendance zone of

"their residence. Governor’s schooled students, subject to certain conditions,

"are eligible at the public school in the attendance zone of which the

"Governor’s schools' physical plants are located."

"Private is not listed," Steele said. "However, the Silicon Valley School is a virtual school, and it [by-laws] does not say virtual public school. It just says virtual school."

Steele, speaking on behalf of Ethan and his mother, said private virtual schools are not specifically listed, which is what she said Silicon Valley falls under, therefore she says it should fulfill the eligibility requirement.

"The by-laws discriminate against having a private Christian student playing for this public school that he is zoned for,” Steele said.

Ethan and his mother, as well as other parents, have been told there not able to appeal the decision, according to Ethan's mother. She goes on to say she does not plan to change her son's school due to their religious beliefs, so she fears he won't be able to play his senior season.

In a statement from Wren High School, it said:

"Wren High School accepts responsibility for allowing an ineligible player to participate with their Boys Soccer team during the 2022 season. Unfortunately, an error was made by the Athletic Department in the interpretation of eligibility requirements for Charter School, Home School, and Private School students during the eligibility process for spring sports. This was a simple mistake. We apologize to our student athletes for this mistake but take responsibility for it and the consequences."

An additional statement from Wren High School states:

"According to the South Carolina High School League by-laws, “all contests in which the ineligible player dresses may be forfeited.” As a result of this by-law, the Wren High School Boys Soccer team forfeited all contests where the ineligible player dressed, resulting in the team not qualifying to participate in the AAA playoffs."

Wren High School soccer students returned their uniforms Thursday evening.

More than 115 years have passed since two dams were built on the Catawba River in the sleepy town of Great Falls to power three textile mills.

The mills in this Chester County, S.C., town closed decades ago.

Residents still live in the mill villages. Historic store fronts along the town’s main roads have been shuttered for years.

Residents have one grocery store, the Great Falls IGA, once a Piggly Wiggly. One of the town’s remaining restaurants, The Flopeye Diner, has a sign on the porch with the word “hope.”

Now, town and state leaders are hoping restaurants, shops, hotels and tourism-based companies will flood the town and wash away its economically-depressed status with the completion of Duke Energy’s wide-scale project on the Catawba River.

Duke officials said the Great Falls-Dearborn project, which will create new recreational channels along the river for kayaking, is about 70 percent complete.

The project was scheduled to open this summer, but additional work was needed, said Michael Brissie, manager of generation project engineering for Duke. Brissie said the facilities will open in spring of 2023.

The project has many components — public to access channels on the river, a state park with hiking trails, an historic visitor’s center, a pedestrian bridge, a 3,000-foot hiking trail on an island, parking and restrooms — all within three miles.

“This is a game-changer, obviously for Great Falls,” said S.C. Sen. Mike Fanning.

Duke started construction on the project at the Great Falls Reservoir more than a year ago. As part of a new license for the Catawba-Wateree Project in 2015, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requires Duke to provide recreation, enhancement to water quality and quantity, fish and wildlife habitat protection and land conservation along the river.

The main focus of this project is to bring water back to two channels, or bypasses, that were cut off more than a hundred years ago. Those channels made up the 50-foot Great Falls of the Catawba, the town’s namesake.

One channel will be the long bypass, a 2.25 mile stretch for leisure kayaking and canoeing. The long bypass will have Class II and III rapids, which are appropriate for families and individuals wanting a leisurely trip down the river, said Duke spokesman Ben Williamson. The short bypass will have faster water flowing over three-quarters of a mile that will have Class III and IV rapids and is geared more to experienced kayakers, said Christy Churchill, recreation planner for Duke.

Duke can control how much water it releases into the channels. Tourists will be able to check the flow schedules online, or through an app, when planning trips.

To date, Duke has built the Nitrolee Access Area with restrooms and parking for 100 vehicles. Nitrolee will be the primary public hub for access the Great Falls Reservoir and the long bypass. Adjacent to the parking lot on property owned by the Catawba Valley Land Trust is the Arc Building that was part of the Nitrolee plant in the early 1900s. The historic building will become the visitor’s center.

Within a year of the project’s completion, the site will be connected to the Carolina Thread Trail, a regional network of “connected greenways, trails and blueways that reaches 15 counties,” according to the trail’s website.

Another component of the project will be a state park on Dearborn Island. Duke is providing money to the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism to help the state develop a park on the 600-acre island with trails, Churchill said. Construction on the park, which will have a campground area, will begin once the lease with Duke and SCPRT is finalized, she said.

Duke also will build a pedestrian bridge from a kayak launch to provide access to the island.

Fanning said ideas are floating to offer a unique camping experience, including “glamping,” or glamorous camping, where campers stay in modern-day yurts. He said Dearborn Island will be the third state park in Chester County, which is rare in S.C.

“We have plenty of regular camping and so this island is going to be a way for you to spend time on a campground and have a different form of camping,” Fanning said.

Duke also will create a trail, roughly half a mile, on Mountain Island at the Cedar Creek Reservoir that will allow kayakers to hike back and put their kayaks back in the water.

Churchill said the Dearborn project is unique.

“I would bet in the country, it’s pretty one-of-a-kind,” Churchill said. “It’s like an engineered system to enhance the natural experience.”

Glinda Price Coleman, executive director of the Great Falls Town Home Association, said the return of the water is a “game changer” since the mills closed in the 1980s.

“And since then, there’s been several attempts to do something to punch up the economic structure here in town,” she said.

The Great Falls Home Town Association is a community and economic development nonprofit that has rallied to have nature-based tourism brought to Great Falls and the surrounding community since 2000, Coleman said.

Coleman said developers and businesses are looking into the area, but could not elaborate on specific plans. The plan now is to bring opportunities for local entrepreneurship and attract businesses to set up shop, Coleman said.

Coleman said an array of business would “be another layer of what will bring people here, not only the natural beauty that we have in the area and outdoor recreation opportunities that we have with the trails and the whitewater and the state park.”

Data produced by the nonprofit, American Whitewater, estimates that whitewater activities alone will bring $3.1-$4.6 million to Great Falls annually. Coleman has said it will likely exceed that.

“I think it’s providing (Great Falls) a catalyst to begin work from their perspective and from their point-of-view building back their town,” Churchill said. “We’re building the recreation and then from there, hopefully they can build up interest in the general public and tourism to come down to this area and go rafting, go to the park on the trails, and hopefully bring some economic benefit to the area.”

Fanning said Chester County has been “looking for that next big thing and the timing is perfect.”

He pointed to California-based wine giant E&J Gallo, which is building its first East Coast facility in Fort Lawn, a small town in Chester County.

Fanning said the Dearborn project “will be the single largest development, economic development, dollar amount that we’ve seen in a project that was not a business in the history of Chester County.”

Fanning said 53 business leaders, residents and town officials from Chester, Lancaster, York and Fairfield counties meet every month to discuss the project.

“I don’t want it just to have water that comes down at a high speed,” Fanning said. “We’re looking to promote this as a destination for people to come and spend their time and just take advantage of spending time outdoors.”

Fanning said community members have met with investors to promote the area. The discussions have centered around Great Falls but Fanning is touting Eastern Chester County as the “outdoor recreational capital of the Southeast.”

He said the experience will be “phenomenal.”

“You think about the fact that people have been doing indoor whitewater rafting in Charlotte forever,” Fanning said. “Meaning we know there’s a demand, we know that we’re going to have people coming from all over and it’s going to be spectacular.”

Kayakers can visit the U.S. National Whitewater Center in nearby Charlotte, but the Great Falls project is not an event venue or center, Churchill said.

“They are totally different animals,” Churchill said.

The Great Falls whitewater experience comes from a free-flowing channel.

“Obviously the structures that we’re building to help manage the flow is man-made,” Churchill said. “However, the channel itself and all the features, the scenery, it’s all nature.”

Fanning said a year ago, locals were “rolling their eyes and saying here’s another promise that will never come to pass.”

But now you can drive down S.C. 21 and you can see the work, he added.

“This is going to happen,” Fanning said. “It will happen within the next year and it will be phenomenal.”
