Before leaving the school system, Thomas, 53, had been an assistant principal at seven schools in the county. She was with CHS for 10 years, said Principal Trey Hosford. “She was amazing,” Hosford said. “She was a person that Thomas really cared for others, worked extremely hard for students and did a lot of things behind the scenes to help people.” Thomas’ family started a scholarship that’s given out every year to seniors, Hosford said. “Any time she got the chance to help some- body, to be somebody to talk to, to be somebody to lean on, she would do that for all students,” he said. It’s not clear what illness Thomas had.

OUR OPINION A rough year at CHS

ur thoughts and prayers are with the family of Terri Thomas, the retired assis- Otant principal at Columbia High who passed away Thursday after a long illness. Those prayers are also with the administra- tion, faculty and students of the school itself, who have lost yet another beloved faculty ember in the last five months. Recently mourned are: Ruth Williams, a creative writing instructor found dead in her home in August; marine biology teacher James Michael Rich, 69, who lost his battle to cancer in October; and James “Mr. Mont” Montgomery, a former history teacher and noted philanthropist who died earlier this month at the age of 86.

Ohio State: “They’re the defending champs and they haven’t lost since,” coach Ryan Day said of Clemson. “What they do on defense and what Brent Venables has done year in and year out, they’re the best defense in the country. If you look over the last five to 10 years, you can make a case that they are the best.”

KEY STATS Clemson: The defending national champions are owners of the longest winning streak in the nation. The Tigers have won five consecutive ACC championships.
