Martha Strickland, this year recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to the Community Award-
This year's recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to the Community Award is Ms. Martha Strickland. Ms. Strickland is a resident of Walterboro, South Carolina and a lifetime educator who has devoted her professional career to helping children learn.
Ms. Strickland has taught children of all ages and currently ably leads her school, Black Street Early Childhood Center, as their principal. She is engaged in her community, serving on numerous boards whose goals are to strengthen families, which is essential to the foundation of a good education. Ms. Strickland is also an enthusiastic Indians fan, and her school forged a partnership with our men's basketball team where players read to children and teach them to "shoot hoops" and the children, in turn, are often the loudest fans at the game, cheering for their favorite player-a mutual admiration which is built on caring and respect.
Martha: One of the most rewarding things I have ever been involved with is the partnership that has been cultivated between the 3K, 4K and 5K students of BSECC and the USC Salkehatchie Indians basketball team. It began with a small visit in the fall of 2010 by some players and, like wildfire, has engulfed our school and families. Last year's players brought more freshmen this past fall. Almost the entire team has adopted one or more classes of children. Coach Travis Garrett, AD Jane Brewer, and Dawn Rizer helped us to form this "perfect storm" of experiences. It has been a magical, moving time to watch the bonds that have formed between the young men and little students. These men are special beyond words as I don't think it is ordinary for all college students to have donated their free time so willingly to a community effort. But excitedly they came and have spent many Fridays reading, playing, working with, and mentoring our students. They have worked in the gardens, built sandboxes, danced at The Bunny Hop, and taught countless hours of basketball drills. Our students look up to them as their supporters and heroes, not for their stature and physical skill but for the size of their hearts. The devotion that both sides have given to each other will be sustained in great ways for their futures. What a win-win for all! Both big and little, they aspire to live up to the expectations of the other.
Hunter signs to play women's soccer at USC Salkehatchie

Many athletes from Mundy’s Mill have signed athletic scholarships in other sports except soccer. On May 3, that changed when Kori Hunter became the first soccer player in the school’s history to sign a Letter of Intent.
Next year, the versatile sweeper will attend the University of South Carolina-Salkehatchie.
“It’s a great thing for her to be the first soccer player to receive a scholarship from this school,” Mundy’s Mill soccer coach Julius Omotayo said. “Coach [William Glass] was amazed by her athletic ability.”
In spite of the Lady Tigers’ 3-9 record this past season, Hunter, who also played forward and midfielder, scored nine goals and was selected First Team All Region 4-AAAA.
“I improved at dealing with loss,” Hunter said. “It’s hard because everybody wants to win. But it’s better if you can take a loss and just build on that without giving up on your teammates or on yourself.”
Hunter plans to major in fashion merchandising and could see herself working for a fashion magazine.
“It was an honor to coach Kori these past two years,” Omotayo said. “She always displayed a positive attitude towards her coaches, opponents and teammates. Her presence will be deeply missed.”

Former Indian has huge senior day at Newberry College
Everything you are about to read is true. It has been verified by multiple sources. Nothing about the story is either exaggerated or embellished. Hard to believe, but true.
Caleb Brazell entered this past Sunday’s game with one single in 12 at-bats this season as a seldom-used reserve for the Newberry College baseball team. It was Senior Day, so Brazell’s name was written into the starting lineup by head coach Russell Triplett as a reward for the player’s two seasons of hard work and perseverance.
Brazell, a product of Blythewood High School who the day before had graduated from Newberry with a degree in sports management, proceeded to weave the most improbable of baseball stories. In four times to the plate, Brazell hit one home run to left field, one to center and one to right. By the time the third one rattled off the right-field scoreboard at the Smith Road Complex, he had driven in seven more runs than he had all season.

The Summerville, SC Little League Challenger baseball teams were on hand today to show their support for the USC Salkehatchie Indians softball team. The Challenger program hosted the Indians back in the fall, as the young ladies helped the players with fielding, throwing and baserunning skills. It was great to see them come and support the Indians. According to their coach DJ the kids have been exciting about coming for several weeks now. Good luck D-backs and Padres with the rest of your season!
