Kendrell, The individual being arrested in the video was not charged with assault and battery. As far as resisting arrest, I'm not an attorney or a police officer, but I can say that it was several minutes after the video ended that the suspect got in the police car. As a means of comparison, the suspect's two companions were standing off to the side while the incident took place. The individual … more ›
Have now lost four straight
A Mauldin football season that started off so promising now is on the brink of becoming a disappointment. The Mavericks were never in the game Friday at home against Dorman, falling 50-0. On the first play from scrimmage Dorman tackled Mauldin quarterback Dre Massey in the endzone and three minutes the Cavaliers were in the end zone and had a 9-0 lead. Things got worse from there. Mauldin had troubled putting two first downs together while Dorman rattled off one big play after another en route to a 44-0 halftime lead. After the break, Dorman substituted liberally and mostly kept the ball on the ground. Mauldin's backup quarteback C.J. Thomas directed a couple of drives that penetrated deep into Cavaliers' territory, but those drives ended …

Fell behind early and could not mount a comeback
Even with a 4-0 start, Mauldin Coach Doug Shaw insisted that his team was still young and would make plenty of mistakes. Unfortunately for Shaw, the last three weeks have proved him right. Friday’s 35-21 loss against rival JL Mann was the latest example of the team’s youthfulness, but perhaps the most disappointing since it was Homecoming for the Mavericks. “A missed tackle here, a dropped pass there, a penalty, a blown coverage—those things cost you ballgames and they cost us tonight,” Shaw said. “But those are the kind of mistakes a young team makes and we’re a young team.” After a couple of sub-par weeks, Mavs running back Reggie Lomax returned to form, scoring all three of his team’s touchdowns. One came on an electrifying 67-yard pass…
Patriots jumped out to an early lead and stayed in command.
The JL Mann Patriots took advantage of early mistakes by Mauldin to spoil the Mavericks' homecoming. Story to come.

Coaching staff has focused on intensity as much as X's and O's this week
After last week’s loss to Boiling Springs, Mauldin High football coach Doug Shaw and the rest of the coaching stuff made little secret of their disappointment in the Mavericks' intensity level. This week, during preparations for tonight’s game against defending AAAA state champ Byrnes, Shaw has made sure there is no shortage of positive energy. “We’ve had a great week of practice and the kids had a lot of enthusiasm for what they were doing,” Shaw said. “We’ve talked a lot about being excited no matter what.” “The Boiling Springs game is over. You have to have a short-term memory,” Shaw said. “Believing you can win is very important and that’s what we’ve tried to get across this week.” Trying to get back on track on the road against the …
First Region game will go in the loss column
In the preparation leading up to Friday night’s game Mauldin Coach Doug Shaw told his team that Boiling Springs was much better than their 2-2 record indicated. He was right as the Bulldogs 41-28 victory in Spartanburg County proved. Boiling Springs had the upper hand on both sides of the ball. Defensively, they pressured Mavericks quarterback Dre Massey throughout the game, causing him to commit mistakes that led to turnovers. Boiling Springs also kept the explosive Reggie Lomax in check, forcing him to earn every yard. “We couldn’t get them blocked when we needed to,” Shaw said of the Boiling Springs defense. On the other side of the ball, the Mavericks had no answer for Bulldogs running back Deon Burgess, who repeatedly broke tackles …
