Two rising 9th graders who played football at Powdersville Middle School have been selected as high school “All-Americans” and are considered among the top 100 players in the nation.
“JJ” Gentile and “EJ” Humphrey both attended several football camps and combines during the spring where they have gone against some of the top players in the nation in their class.
The second annual Wren Hurricane Mud FLUD Run will be held on Saturday, June 1 beginning at 8 a.m. Participants will crawl through muddy ravines, ford a babbling stream, jump and climb over a multitude of obstacles, while going through through a ‘flud of mud.” Contestants will compete on the 3.1-mile course until the last team completes (or is carried off) the muddy obstacle-filled FLUD Run through Wigington’s Farm behind Wren High School. The event is being organized to raise funds for the Wren High School Athletic Program.
The 4th Annual Saluda River Rally will take place this weekend, June 1- 2 with kayaking, tubing, fishing, ballooning, camping, bluegrass music and a 9-hole disc golf course all on the Saluda River.
Participants who do not have their own boats are invited to use kayaks provided by Grady’s Great Outdoors or tubes provided by Saluda River Rafting. Reservations for boats and/or tubes for Saturday’s revolving paddle trips can be made by contacting Anderson County Parks. Participants without reservations will be “first come, first served”.
