School District Promises Strict Action After Football Camp Assault

A recent incident at a South Carolina football camp has prompted the local school district to pledge strict disciplinary measures. During an event held at Presbyterian College on July 7, students from D.W. Daniel High School were involved in an altercation, which was captured on social media showing a white student being violently attacked by teammates. In response, the Pickens County School District's Board of Trustees released a statement emphasizing that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and that appropriate corrective actions will be implemented. They affirmed their commitment to working closely with law enforcement and conducting an internal review of staff, students, and program-related issues. Due to legal restrictions related to minors, specific details regarding the disciplinary outcomes cannot be publicly disclosed. However, officials assured that all students involved will face consequences at both academic and athletic levels, with sanctions tailored to individual participation. Following the incident, D.W. Daniel High School's football coach, Chris Stone, was placed on leave pending further investigation.
