to a 60-0 victory over a club team from Nebraska during the first-ever Husker Games The Husker Games are a replacement for the annual Spring Game Midland senior Myana Sigers said the experience was one she will never forget and was grateful to have experienced in her final season “It was even more than I thought it would be,” Sigers said I don’t think we realized how big of a deal this was For players who come from areas where they have professional teams “We’ve had the chance to play in big stadiums before and we felt a connection we haven’t experienced before.” The game itself was no contest as the Warriors dominated the action throughout late in the contest couldn’t prevent a shutout The sophomore came onto the field for a handful of plays including one where he was sacked by Midland defender NaTaija Blaylock Raiola offered up a high-five to Blaylock after the play “We’ve all seen him on TikTok and social media and there was a big buzz when he came on the field,” Sigers said “We all thought at first it was (Kansas City Chiefs quarterback) Patrick Mahomes Sigers said the team was given a tour of the stadium and football facilities following the game and got a chance to meet players from the opposing team “It was great to be able to interact with the other players,” she said “I thought it was cool that even though they weren’t athletes they will have the opportunity to add this as an intramural sport and make it bigger.” talks to diners at the Midland Valley Golf Club's Horse Creek Tavern Diners enjoy lunch recently at the Midland Valley Golf Club's

GRANITEVILLE — Rob Pruiett likes to say his career path in recent years has taken him “from The Alley to the Valley.” As the food and beverage manager at the Midland Valley Golf Club which made its debut in April and is open to the public “I found out retirement was both expensive and boring and there was a hole in my heart,” said Pruiett who took a break after his family’s popular Aiken Brewing Company closed in March 2023 in downtown Aiken Known also as the “Brew Pub,” the Aiken Brewing Company was based at the Laurens Street entrance to The Alley Dan Beavers and Mark Findley founded the restaurant according to a story published in the Aiken Standard when it opened in 1997 The Pruietts became the Aiken Brewing Company’s proprietors in 2003 The Horse Creek Tavern has “a little Brew Pub flair,” Rob Pruiett said The furnishings include tables and bar stools from the Aiken Brewing Company There also are some Brew Pub offerings on the menu such as The Mother Plucker wrap Rasta Pasta and The Big Tony double bacon cheeseburger wrap “We’re doing our wings just the same because everybody missed my wings,” Pruiett said “I had the best wings in town [at the Aiken Brewing Company] and I do them the same over here.” Some of the Horse Creek Tavern’s employees are former members of the Brew Pub team Pruiett is especially enjoying the opportunity at the Midland Valley Golf Club to smoke meat they wouldn’t let me have a smoker,” he said The Horse Creek Tavern serves lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday “I’m trying to keep it simple and affordable,” Pruiett said chicken salad or pimento cheese sandwich with a side of French fries Among the choices on the dinner menu are grilled or blackened mahi-mahi Jeff Petersen and John Lovin purchased the Midland Valley Golf Club in January 2024 “There weren’t any kind of sit-down meals happening at the time and they hadn’t been doing that for a while,” Steven Petersen said “They were serving cold cut sandwiches and that kind of stuff for the golfers only But there was a demand for a better dining option “A lot of our members were clamoring for it and there was a lot of interest from our neighbors [in subdivisions],” Steven said “we’re trying to increase revenues so we can get the golf course fixed up and elevate its quality,” he continued “This is just one more step in the process.” And Steven believes Midland Valley Golf Club has the right person in charge to make the Horse Creek Tavern successful “Once we started talking about reopening the restaurant and getting it back going again I would be interested.’ We talked to Rob for eight or nine months about doing something together Pruiett is an asset because “he has a big following,” Petersen told the Aiken Standard “A lot of people that were previously patrons of the Brew Pub have been visiting us and they love it because it’s the same food they had there The semi-private Midland Valley Golf Club is at 151 Midland Drive For more information, visit
