Whiteville's standout center Tirn
Southern throughout the first half of
last week's Waeearnaw 2-A Conference

clock struck midnight for the Trojans
at halftime.
That's when Southern took control
in the second half dominating the
Wolfpack scoring and rebounding to
lend visiting Whiteville to a 70-63 WC
win.
Southern connected on 12 of 24 attempts
from the field and seven ot
nine free throws for a game-high 31
points as Whiteville remained
unbeaten in seven games this season.
"Southern really did a job on the inside
for Whiteville," said West
Brunswick coach Ronnie Champion.
