BY SHARRON HALEY Special to The Sumter Item

ANNING — Thanksgiv- ing is less than three Mweeks away, and if you’re the friend or family mem- ber who has been given the plea- sure of bringing biscuits to the annual holiday meal, the Claren- don Pilot Club may have a solu- tion to your dilemma. Members of the club have been bus- ily baking dozens of the delicious, flaky, homemade gems for several weeks. The club’s terrific culinary ge- niuses didn’t make just one or two dozen, not even 100 dozen biscuits. They made 184 dozen biscuits. That’s more than 2,200 biscuits. That’s a lot of measuring, kneading, cutting out and baking. And, if past years are any indication of how well these biscuits are revered, then you had better be early — that’s before the doors open early — to get a dozen or two packages of these mouthwatering morsels. And the cost is just $5 a dozen. That’s not a lot to pay to make Thanksgiving din- ner worth remembering and get on PHOTO PROVIDED Santa’s nice list for Christmas. Members of the Clarendon Pilot Club have been busily baking 184 dozen homemade biscuits for their club’s annual bazaar that will “We will have casseroles, cakes and be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at Manning Presbyterian Church, 233 N.

PREP FOOTBALL PRO FOOTBALL NFL on pace for ‘None of that matters’ record-setting scoring midway through season

BY ROB MAADDI The Associated Press It’s never been easier to score in the NFL. At the midpoint of the sea- son, the league is on pace to set records for most points, touchdowns and touchdown passes in a single season. Teams have scored 6,440 points, 736 touchdowns and 473 TDs in the air through Week 9. The increase in offensive production follows the lowest- scoring season this decade. Teams averaged 21.7 points per game in 2017. That’s up to 24 points this sea- son. A total of 12 teams are averag- ing at least 27.5 points per game led by the Chiefs BREES (36.3), Saints (34.9) and Rams (33.2). There are several reasons scoring has soared.
