COMMENTARY Insurance fraud in S.C. is increasing, costs all of us

nsurance fraud probably isn’t something you think much about, but it’s increasing in ISouth Carolina, and it’s costing you and your family money. It could also be putting your family in danger because the cars in front of you may be about to stage an auto accident. I recently released to the General Assembly our Insurance Fraud Divi- sion’s annual report, and it shows an 18% increase in insurance fraud in South Carolina.

BY DANNY KELLY [email protected] ormer Manning High FSchool football head coach Keith West decided it was time for him to go back to where his football career first took off. West, who resigned after three years at Manning, accepted a job as the wide receivers coach on Gamecock head coach Mark Barnes’ staff. “It was a real easy decision,” West said. “My goal was to get back to Sum- ter High. Leaving Manning was not an easy decision, but it’s what’s best for me at this time.” West will now be back coaching at a school with which he’s very familiar. “I grew up in Sumter,” he said. “I lived there my whole life. I played there and coached there. I have great memories from Sumter High.” West was the starting quarterback at the school from 1985 to 1987. During his sophomore season, he helped Sum- ter to a runner-up finish in the 4A Di- vision I state playoffs. He helped lead the Gamecocks to the 1987 4A Division I state title as a senior. He returned to the school in 1993 as a quarterbacks and wide receivers coach, where he stayed until 2001. After that, West had several other assistant coaching jobs, including being the QBs and WRs coach at Greenwood High, the offensive coordi- SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO nator at Ridge View, the QBs and WRs coach at Richland Northeast and the Keith West, the former Manning High School football head coach, has joined the staff of his alma mater, Sumter High, as wide receivers QBs and WRs coach at Westwood. coach.
