Evening Optimist Club of Sumter’s Cycles for Christmas project is in full swing with dona- tions and repairs for its 20th year of donating new and used bikes to underprivileged children later this month. Club member Tom Lawrence said Evening Optimist Club of Sumter has successfully pro- vided more then 3,300 “like-new” bicycles to needy children since the project started 19 years ago. Each Christmas season, members of Evening Optimist Club of Sumter, along with volunteers, refurbish used bicycles donated by people in the community. “We have plans to give away over 200 bicycles this year,” he said. Bicycles and tricycles, new or used, can be de- livered to any Sumter area fire station for the project. Lawrence said bikes are collected all year, with a greater push for donations in November and December. He said the children who will receive the bikes are selected based on applications provid- ed by Sumter School District.

ACC CHAMPIONSHIP PREP BASKETBALL Lady Gators rebound A quarter away from rout, Clemson leads Virginia Tech 35-21 top Sumter entering final stanza in ACC title game in rematch BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS [email protected]

There’s no blueprint to bounce back from a 45-point loss to a county rival, but the Lakewood High School varsity girls basketball team found one key component on Satur- day at The Swamp. “Intensity.” head coach Demetress Adams-Ludd said. After Monday’s 72-27 blow- out against Sumter, the Lady Gators turned up the intensity and their game in the rematch. Bolstered by Ki’Ari Cain’s 25 points and solid free throw shooting in the final frame, LHS was able to pull away late to earn a 51-46 victory. With the win, Lakewood im- proved to 2-3 on the season while Sumter fell to 1-2. “They were focused all week,” Adams-Ludd said of her team. “They understood the errors they made in that first game and they adjusted. They did a good job of fighting when Sumter made runs. “I just think they were at home, they were comfortable, they were intense, and I don’t think they wanted this com- munity to see them have an- other loss like they had on Monday.” The tone of this game was different from the get-go as LHS jumped to a 13-8 lead after the first quarter and had a 10-point advantage at the break, 29-19. Cain had 15 points in the first half while most of the Lady Gamecocks’ offense came from Tamerah Brown, including all eight points in the first quarter. “We didn’t start off with a lot of energy and came out flat,” SHS head coach Frances Fields said, “We were down by 10 at the half. We brought the THE ASSOCIATED PRESS energy up in the third quarter Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett (16) scores one of his two touchdowns in front of Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis Alexander (36) and tied it, but didn’t really during the first half of the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game on Saturday in Orlando, Fla. convert like we needed to. “We just didn’t finish.” From staff reports son, was needing a victory half.

Odysseas Papadimitriou l Special for USA TODAY Let’s keep it real, OK? When it comes to credit scores, numbers — namely, your three-digit score and the amount you have to pay to access it — are all that really matter. In simpler terms, it doesn’t matter what type of credit score you get — whether FICO or Vantage, for instance — or where you get it, as long as the source is reputable and you receive maximum access for minimal cost. And if you don’t buy into that no- tion, here are four fundamental reasons why seeking out a certain type of score — or ever paying for one — is a fool’s errand.
