BY SHARRON HALEY The Sumter Item

MANNING — More than 15,000 Clarendon County residents were served by United Ministries of Clar- endon County in 2016. In the first eight months of 2017, 9,089 individuals have received food, clothing or prescription assistance from the or- ganization. “Sometimes we make the difference in some families going to bed hungry,” said Kathy Bryce, executive director for UMCC. “We’re seeing more and more people who are telling us their kids are hungry. I’ve had people crying … telling me they’ve never had to seek help like this before. It will tear your heart out to hear them.” The number of people asking for help in Clarendon County is staggering, she said. Just during August, UMCC served 246 clients, of which 22 were new clients. The 246 clients equated to 444 family members. Of the 246 clients seen in August, 203 needed clothing, 72 needed medical vouchers, and 240 clients/663 family members were as- sisted through the mobile food banks. The mobile food banks are coordi- nated through Harvest Hope by UMCC volunteer Hal Lowder. “He contacts churches in the county and other charitable organizations who then let their congregations and neighbors know when and where the mobile food banks will arrive,” Bryce said. “Harvest Hope then sends the food to those areas.” SHARRON HALEY / THE SUMTER ITEM Bryce said individuals hoping to re- Gerald Winstead, a weekly volunteer at United Ministries of Clarendon County, stocks shelves with staples and other items that are ceive food items need to fill out an necessities for the county’s families in need of food items.

The Bulldogs are off to a 3-0 THOMPSON start this season, 1-0 in the conference. Second-year head coach Brent Thompson said his team can’t afford to get comfortable with its recent success. “Our first- and second-year players only know this success,” said Thompson, who spoke to the Sumter Touch- down Club last week. “Our older players, they’ve been around long enough to have experience a losing season. “They know how hard they have to work to keep that MARK MORGAN / SPECIAL TO THE SUMTER ITEM edge.” Sumter’s Justice Wells (24) and the Gamecocks open Region VI-5A play today at South Florence looking for their third straight region crown.

AUTO RACING COMMENTARY CROWN FROM PAGE B1 looks like they’re going with the young guy.” The running back is Tony McFadden, who ran for 169 yards and scored all four of the Bruins’ TDs on 27 carries against the Falcons. The “young guy” is freshman Shalique Parks, who completed 11 of 27 passes for 170 yards. He made his debut the week before in South Florence’s 20-0 loss to 3A Man- ning. Barnes has not-so-fond memories of McFadden from SHS’ 48-41 victory last season in Sumter. He rushed for 244 yards and three scores. “This is the second phase of our season,” Barnes said of opening region play. “We’ve won it the last two years (going undefeated both times), and we want to do it again. “One thing our guys are good at is not looking ahead and just preparing for the next game. They normally give us a difficult time, and it’s a different environment over there that we have to be ready for.” In Sumter’s last game, it defeated 4A Lakewood 49-21. The Gamecocks rushed for 345 yards, but had two passes intercepted and returned for touchdowns. “The passing game is one thing that we worked on in the off week,” Barnes said. “We just worked on everything because it’s something we want to get better at.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASCAR has had too many distractions as of late that have shifted the focus from the playoffs, including Joey Logano having Quarterback Zykiem Jackson has to sit idly inside his car on pit road during an entire practice session at New Hampshire. completed 40 of 82 passes for 572 yards and four TDs while tossing four picks. He lead in rushing with 555 yards and one score on 72 carries. Jalen Rouse leads SHS in receiving with 20 catches for 255 yards and one NASCAR has far too many score. The Gamecocks have three running backs getting carries. Junior Jonathan Henry has rushed for 352 yards and four TDs on 58 carries. Senior Da’Jon Butts had 212 yards on 34 carries, but distractions amid playoffs has 10 TDs, getting a lot of his work around the goal line.
