Dreher, Lower Richland embroiled in dispute over basketball game

Allegations that Lower Richland basketball fans were treated disrespectfully by Dreher High School administrators has led to a huge dust-up between the two Richland 1 schools in an issue that could make its way to the school board Tuesday.

Sheriff Leon Lott on Monday said Lower Richland’s school-resource officer was the target of inappropriate comments by administrators, too – apparently stemming from where some Lower Richland students were seated during the game. Lott said his officer, Terrance Acox, provided information to Richland 1 superintendent Percy Mack as part of a look into events during the Feb. 8 game at Dreher.
