Girls tennis players build relationships at workouts
JUN 28, 2012
Greer, Wade Hampton, Greenville, and Riverside high school tennis teams practiced together this week. Current and prospective members of the four teams played between 6 – 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.

Seeing an officer tased is unnerving
JUN 7, 2012
Being tased when resisting arrest is not unheard of; however, being tased in a conference room is incomprehensible to me.
I witnessed Officer Clay Anderson, a rookie with the Greer Police Department, receive 0.036 volts of energy today as he was tased in the mid-back area (video below). In comparison to the 120 volts you would receive from a wall outlet a taser seems like a walk in the park, at least that’s what I thought until I observed what I feel to be an outrage.

Hello all! Day two of CSI Camp has commenced and what a day we had.
