Prayer gathering in Aiken draws about 55 attendees
About 55 people attended a midday prayer gathering in Aiken. Participants stood for much of the session, with some praying aloud and others in silence. A dog joined one attendee and music accompanied prayers as the group concluded with the Lord's Prayer and Amazing Grace. Gail Diggs said the event united people in faith and gratitude while hoping for guidance. Bill Bengtson, longtime Aiken Communications employee since 1996, noted the scene.

Swinney Adds Aiken Stars Tankersley And Hearn To Tigers
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney continues to bolster the Tigers with Aiken area talent. Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley, a Silver Bluff graduate, started 13 games last season with 12 tackles and is eyed as a key contributor. Taylor Hearn, a Williston-Elko product, begins as second team left guard after a redshirt year, with a bright future ahead. Center Jay Guillermo’s spring absence leaves a projected return later in summer, while Eric Russell reports from Aiken.
