We’re running a correction in Saturday’s newspaper (July 7) because James Foster finished 10th overall and won the 25-29-year-old division in the 27th annual Firecracker 5000 Family 5K Run on Wednesday, July 4 at Shelter Cove Community Park on Hilton Head Island.

Only, he didn’t.

Here's a look at some of the athletes that will be giving of their time this week during the Week of Champions free sports clinics for kids:

Earlier this week, CBSSports.com's Bruce Feldman wrote "The Freak List: The 10 craziest athletes in college football." Checking in at No. 2 on the list is former Beaufort High standout and current University of South Carolina defensive end Devin Taylor.

When the Hilton Head Island High School boys soccer team hosts Chapin at 7 p.m. Saturday in the 3-A boys playoffs, Seahawks head coach Wayne Quinlan will see some familiar faces on the opposite sideline.

The Thomas Heyward Academy booster club will be holding a spaghetti dinner Thursday evening during and before the Rebels’ softball and baseball games. The cost is $8 per plate.

Golfers are still needed for the final two days of Healing Heroes Golf Week, hosted by the Independence Fund in an effort to support severly injured veterans of the Iran and Afghanistan wars.

Clemson defensive coordinator Will Venables had some good things to say about former Beaufort High standout Justin Parker this week during the Tigers' spring practice.

The eighth annual Hilton Head Harbor Wahoo Shootout fishing tournamment will be held April 19-21 out of Hilton Head Harbor Marina.

Sixty-four twosomes will tee it up Thursday and Friday in the 14th Women’s South Carolina Golf Association Team Championship at Oldfield Plantation in Okatie.

Furman Bisher died Sunday. For those that don't know who he was, he wrote for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution for more than 50 years and he was one of the greatest to ever write a sports story.

I grew up near Atlanta and can remember reading Bisher when I was as young as 7 or 8. I read the sports section religiously. Before they combined, we got the Journal in the afternoons and the morning Journal-Constitution on the weekends.
