Monday night marked the official 20th anniversary of the Upchurch & Jowers All-County Academic Team program. The insurance agency and Kershaw County School District’s (KCSD) annual banquet, held in Bethesda Presbyterian Church’s Westminster Hall, looked back at those 20 years while inducting 32 members from the district’s three high schools. The first banquet, held in 1996, was the result of Victor Jowers’ decision to honor academic excellence after seeing a Chronicle-Independent article the year before about the county’s all-star football team.
