Labor Day is one of the top-three weekends for boaters on Lake Mari- on, according to Robert McCullough of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Enforcement Sec- tion. “We will have some extra patrols; everybody will be out working,” he said Wednesday. In addition to patrolling the lake, SCDNR will be doing courtesy boat inspections from 10 a.m. to noon at Alex Harvin Landing, south of Man- ning on S.C. 260. “We want everybody to have a safe weekend, so we will be out there trying to have high visibility so everybody slows down a little bit, pays attention and doesn't drink and drive,” McCullough said. Jim Whitaker said Labor Day isn’t always a big deal at Pack’s Landing, near Rimini. “Sometimes it’s busy, and sometimes it’s like a regular weekend,” he said. “Business drops way off after the Fourth of July; March, April, May and June is our busy time of year.” Whitaker said even though the store isn’t expecting a huge rush over PHOTO PROVIDED the weekend, the grill will be fired up South Carolina Department of Natural Resources officers will be on the lakes looking for people drinking while driving, speeding and and ready to serve customers who do acting in a careless manner. visit.

PREP FOOTBALL LMA heads Simply offensive to Hammond for first real challenge BY TREVOR ZION BAUKNIGHT [email protected]

Off to a 2-0 start with easy blowout wins over a pair of lower division opponents, the Laurence Manning Academy varsity football team is feeling pretty good about itself. However, today’s road trip to face perennial SCISA 3A power- house Hammond will be a different kind of test for the Swampcats. The Skyhawks, BRIGGS at 1-0 with a 41-15 victory over Spartanburg Christian in their opener, are coming off a bye week in preparation for today’s 7:30 p.m. tilt. For their part, the Swamp- cats have had what amounted to a pair of full-speed practice sessions. A 56-0 win over Bethesda Academy in Savan- nah, Ga., in its opener and a 70-9 dismantling of Florence Christian School last week revealed little about LMA’s conference prospects; tonight’s game will likely answer any remaining questions. “In the past, I think our kids got a little bit over-excited for the Hammonds and the Wilson MARK MORGAN / SPECIAL TO THE SUMTER ITEM Halls and those guys,” said Sumter running back Justice Wells (24) heads down the field during the Gamecocks’ 21-6 victory over Crestwood last week.
