The concert will benefit Upcountry Fiber Foundation.

Upcountry Fiber, an internet service provider that bridges the digital divide by bringing broadband internet service to rural and other under and unserved communities, was created in 2020 through a partnership between Blue Ridge Electric Co-op (BREC) and WCFIBER, a subsidiary of West Carolina Rural Telephone Cooperative.

Upcountry Fiber Foundation was launched in September 2022 as a way to give back to Upstate philanthropic organizations.

"We are thrilled that South Carolina's own Darius Rucker will be performing at our charity concert," Jim Lovinggood, chief executive officer of BREC, said. "His vision as a philanthropist aligns well with our foundation's, which is why there is no one better to be our headlining entertainer than Darius Rucker."

The footprint it serves is Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg counties.

"When you buy a ticket to Southern Fried Circuit, you are giving back to local charities that are helping to change lives here in the Upstate," Jeff Wilson, president and CEO of WCFIBER, said.

Launching the foundation and hosting Southern Fried Circuit enables us to create a long-term, sustainable investment in Upstate charities."

FORT MILL — It was subtle, nothing was really overwhelming about it; like dying by a thousand cuts, instead of a bomb being dropped. It felt like a Floyd Mayweather win by decision, instead of a Mike Tyson knockout punch in the first round.

Nothing really hit you in the face, no emphatic dunk that sent the crowd into a frenzy or a huge block, but by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the scoreboard read: Dorman leads Fort Mill, 46-21.

"I just think we're relentless. ... These guys just keep coming at you, and we realize in the first quarter, we're not going to have that knockout blow. It's going to come in the second half, in a 32 minute game. If we stay focused and locked in, that's when we are at our best," said Dorman coach Thomas Ryan.

NEW LOOK DORMAN:How a new style has led to the same old dominance for Dorman boys basketball

Dorman did it again.

The Cavaliers out-fundamentaled another quality team that gave Dorman its best punch, beating Fort Mill in the SCHSL Class AAAAA quarterfinals, 66-33.

That’s not surprising though, because that’s been the story of this team all season; a team that’s never out of control. A team that does the little things right. A team that plays winning basketball.

"Going into the year, after losing Jordyn and Noah, we knew we had to play great defense and play much better basketball overall. Coach really got on us about moving the ball and just playing together," said Dorman guard Christian Andrews. "We've been worrying about the little things. Every possession matters to us, so we have to pay attention to the details to move forward."

Details like setting good screens, making good passes, playing tough defense, hitting open shots, finishing fast breaks, etc.

Dorman is doing the little things right.

That’s why senior guard Jordan Miller called it the best team he’s ever played with earlier this season, and in this game, he's even more confident: "Still definitely feel like it, we're the best team out here," Miller said.

EIGHT STRAIGHT:Eastside wrestling's perfect start clears path for record breaking 8th straight state title

On top of playing solid fundamental basketball, this team prides itself on the fact that there isn't a clear-cut star.

"We preach giving up good shots for great shots, and I think they've bought into that because they don't really care who's scoring. One night, it might be Terry (Leonard) with 20, It might be Sean (Lindsay) with 16. Christian (Andrews) distributing the ball or Jordan Miller," Ryan said. "Those guards just keep coming at you, Chase (Harris) as a three-point specialist. What's unique about these players is they're all good at something different, so when you put them all together, the whole is pretty darn good."

Exactly what Ryan said has played out this season for Dorman. The guards' versatility and unselfishness has led to wins in a way that's reminiscent of the 2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons, who had seven players averaging 9.5 points or more a game — for Dorman, six players are averaging more than 6.8 points a game.

For Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton, their style of not leaning on one player led to a ring. If Dorman keeps playing this way, it might lead to a ring for the Cavaliers as well.

Dorman will face Lexington at Bob Jones University on Monday at 7:30 p.m. for the Class AAAAA Upper State championship and a chance to play for a state title.

Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade To Play Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ For 41-Date Reunion Tour

After a 20-year break, Les Claypool is set to reconvene his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade for an extensive 2023 outing billed as the Summer of Green Tour.

After a 20-year break, Les Claypool is set to reconvene his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade for an extensive 2023 outing billed as the Summer of Green Tour. Each night on the 41-date tour will feature a complete live performance of Pink Floyd classic Animals, which was previously captured on the Frog Brigade’s two-part 2001 live album, Live Frogs.

The band lineup for the Summer of Green will feature a mix of Frog Brigade vets, family ties, and other Claypool collaborators. Guitarist Sean Lennon (the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and Les’ counterpart in The Claypool Lennon Delirium), keyboardist Harry Waters (the son of Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters), and drummer Paulo Baldi (of The Claypool Lennon Delirium and CAKE) will make their maiden Frog Brigade flights in 2023, while returning members Mike Dillon (percussion) and Skerik (horns) will bring seasoned Claypool know-how along with continued creative momentum from their recent Bastard Jazz improv sessions.

Select June performances will include a co-headlining set with Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew’s Remain In Light tour, which finds the Talking Heads members performing songs from a monumental period of the band’s history with Cool Cool Cool as their backing band. Additional supporting acts at select dates throughout the tour include Fishbone, Neal Francis, Budos Band, W.I.T.C.H., and Moon Duo.

“In an age of calibrated chaos, moral constipation, and conspiranoia, it is reassuring to know that certain frogs can and do fly,” Claypool said along with the tour’s announcement.

Formed by Claypool in the summer of 2000 during a hiatus from Primus, the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade made its debut appearance at the Mountain Aire Festival before embarking on several celebrated U.S. tours. Described by Les himself as “kind of a King Crimson meets Pink Floyd meets Frank Zappa type thing,” the band released two live albums in 2001, as well as a studio album, Purple Onion, in 2002. The Fearless Flying Frog Brigade’s last performance took place on May 10th, 2003.

On Wednesday, May 17th, 20 years and one week after that last show, Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade will take to the sky once again in Stateline, NV. The tour will circle the country from there throughout May, June, and July, making stops in various notable markets and headlining a number of summer music festivals including Chillicothe, IL’s Summer Camp Music Festival (5/27), Oak Hill, WV’s Mountain Music Festival (6/3), and Scranton, PA’s The Peach Music Festival (7/1).

“Let’s put it this way … I think, with Primus and without, I’ve played every music festival in the last ten years, except Lilith Fair,” Claypool commented on his unique yet expansive cross-section of styles and fanbases. “You could say I’m the guy who doesn’t fit in anywhere, but a little bit everywhere.”

Les Claypool may have waited 20 years to reconvene the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, but he has never stopped churning out new ideas. In addition to touring heavily as part of Primus’s A Tribute to Kings trek and taking part in the South Park 25th anniversary shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Claypool has played gigs with a number of his live creations in the last few years, from Bastard Jazz to The Claypool Lennon Delirium to Oysterhead.

A limited pre-sale for the Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade Summer of Green Tour 2023 will begin on Wednesday, February 1st at 10:00 a.m. local venue time using the code WHAMOLA. General public on-sale will follow on Friday, February 3rd at 10:00 a.m. local time.

After more than a year of watching him kick their ass, the Tampa Bay Times has wised up and made Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Staff Writer Justin Garcia an offer he won’t refuse.

On March 17, Garcia leaves this newsroom to join the staff there as a senior accountability reporter where the Times told him he will cover local law enforcement, and statewide entities like FDLE, the Department of Corrections, Highway Patrol, plus Governor Ron DeSantis’ dumbass Florida State Guard and Office of Election Crimes and Security.

The hire also gets Garcia—who started at CL as a freelancer in 2019 before becoming our first post -pandemic layoff hire in June 2021—off the local city hall beat (you're welcome, Jane Castor and Tampa City Council).

The news also means CL is now chomping at the bit to find a new full-time staff writer excited to speak up for people whose voices, stories and struggles are ignored or mischaracterized by other local outlets.

The job pays in the $45,000-$51,000 range, plus monthly and quarterly bonuses.

Our staff writers are part of a fast-paced newsroom driven by a small and dedicated team ready to pivot when news breaks and cook longer stories on the side. The ideal candidate is comfortable making public record requests and growing sources, then following up with them over and over again—all while providing unique insight and context to the news of the day.

You’ll also be free to contribute to our arts, food and music coverage, and partake in all the parties and special events CL throws throughout the year. It’s fun as hell.

Our parent company, Euclid Media Group (EMG), also operates alt-weeklies in Orlando, San Antonio, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville, so you’ll have access to fellow journalists and resources across the South and Midwest.

EMG also offers PTO and a competitive compensation package including health, dental and vision insurance.

Anyone interested in being this publication's next staff writer should email clips and a resume to me ([email protected]) with Euclid Media Group's Executive Editor Sarah Fenske on CC ([email protected]). We look forward to hearing from you.

The A.C. Flora and Ridge View girls basketball teams played two close games against each other during the regular season.

On Tuesday, however, it was a lopsided affair as A.C. Flora jumped out early and didn’t let up in defeating Ridge View, 57-24, in the third round of the Class 4A playoffs.

The Falcons advance to the Class 4A Lower State championship on Friday and will play region rival Westwood at 5:30 p.m. at the Florence Center. It is A.C. Flora’s second state semifinal appearance, with the other coming in 2007.

“It is huge. It is just the second time it has been done in school history,” second-year A.C. Flora coach Jacob Thompson said. “Being here in year two, these girls bought in last year. We had them playing defense. The question was could we take it up a notch? And we have.”

The two teams split the regular-season games with a total margin of victory of just a combined four points. But the Falcons’ pressure defense forced numerous turnovers, and hot shooting in the first half helped them to a 33-14 halftime lead.

Junior all-state selection Terriana Gray led Flora with 21 points The Falcons hit six of its eight 3-pointers in the first half, including three by Jaclyn Wright Thompson.

Now, A.C. Flora gets a third matchup with Westwood. The Redhawks swept the Falcons in the regular season, including 52-43 on Jan. 27.

Westwood has won eight in a row against Flora, with the Falcons’ last win in the series coming in 2014.

“It makes it easier and harder,” Thompson said of playing Westwood. “We know everything they do and they know everything we do. The best thing is we get to play them for a third time and that means we are playing them in the lower state. That’s what we want.”

The Redhawks outscored the Islanders, 21-2, in the third quarter and advanced to the Class 4A Lower State championship game.

It is Westwood’s fourth state semifinal appearance in the past six seasons. The Redhawks have lost in the three previous times.

Makiah Thompson led Westwood with 18 points. Jessica Woods had 15, and Raven Johnson 13.

The top-ranked Bulldogs rolled to their 25th straight victory and advanced to their second straight Class 3A Lower State championship.

Camden will face Midlands foe Lower Richland at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday in Florence.

Junior Joyce Edwards led the way with 31 points, 15 rebounds, eight steals, seven assists and six blocks.. Morgan Champion had 13 and Zyasia Carter had 11.

Sophomore Chi’Nya Isaac scored 23 points as the Diamond Hornets earned a spot in the 3A Lower State championship.

It is the first semifinal appearance for Lower Richland since 2017.

Tyra Floyd added 16 points for the Diamond Hornets.

The Raiders’ bid for a fourth straight state championship continued with a win over the Bulldogs.

Keenan will play Region 4-2A opponent Gray Collegiate in the Upper State final at noon on Friday at Bob Jones University in Greenville. The Raiders swept the season series this year.

The game was tied at 29-29 in the third quarter before the Raiders pulled away.

South Carolina signee MiLaysia Fulwiley led Keenan with 19 points but left the game with a calf injury in the third quarter. Keenan coach Reggie McLain said she will be examined more on Wednesday. to see her status for Friday’s game.

Guard Tanaja Kennedy added 18 points for Keenan.

Maliyah Mason scored 15 points and Kadence Walker-Lee had 13 as the War Eagles advanced to their first Upper State championship.

Gray led 26-11 at halftime in defeating the Griffins for the third time this season.
