- -* ' ' . * o ; Page 8-B?THE BRUNSWICK BEACO Hoggard BY JOHNNY CRAIG Two halves and two games with two different West Brunswick teams. Despite how the contest eventually ended, Hoggard and the host Trojaas matched up last Friday in what appeared to be "two games for the price of one." However, visiting Hoggard won the second half of what appeared to be the second game (compared to the first half for the Trojaas) and cruised to a 78-51 nonconfcrence basketball rout of West Bruaswick. The 27-point home-court loss was one of the worst ever suffered by the Trojans (1-1) while Hoggard (1-0) opened its season in impressive form. The outcome of the game was still up for grabs as late as 5:35 left in the third quarter. leading 34-32, Hoggard went on a 14-2 tear over a 3:10 stretch to open a 48-34 advantage and the Trojaas never got closer. "We suffered a good case of thirdquarter blues tonight," said a disap- 1 pointed West Bruaswick coach Hon- I nie Champion. "We were only down three points at halftime and were I playing rather well.

By midway in the third quarter we looked like a different team. "Suddenly we weren't executing our offense, we were making terrible passes and weren't getting back an defense. We were doing the type of things that we cannot afford to do and expect to win," added Champion. The two teams fought on even keel throughout the first half with the score tied five times while the lead changed hands on six occasions. Hoggard's early four-pouit 6-2 lead was its biggest of the half as the Vikings managed only a slim lt-12 advantage at the end of the first quarter.
