Today, August 25th, marks what would have been the 99th birthday of the incredible Althea Gibson, a true legend and Clarendon County native. It’s with immense pride that we officially launch our brand new page and unveil our updated logo, which beautifully features Althea as a tribute to her groundbreaking legacy.

For years, we’ve been dedicated to recognizing the outstanding contributions of individuals to athletics in our Clarendon community. We invite you to join us in celebrating Althea Gibson's enduring spirit and share our page with everyone who believes in honoring our local sports heroes.

Stay tuned as we prepare to share more details about how we'll continue to celebrate and recognize the rich athletic history and talent of Clarendon County. We’re excited for what’s to come!
