On a coin toss Friday, Whitcville advanced to the state 1-A/2-A dual team playoffs as the con ference's only representative. The Wolfpack was scheduled to play at St. Pauls Tuesday in first round action. West Brunswick and Whitcville split their two hcad-to-head matches this season for their only league losses. The Trojans lost 5-4 in Whitcville, but won 6-3 at home late in the season to tic for first. Last year. West Brunswick and Whitcville also split their matches en route to 11-1 seasons. The Trojans were named conference champs after beating Whitcville in a playoff. Due to several rain outs this spring and the tim ing of the slate dual team playoffs. West Coach Marti Gillis said there wasn't time to hold a con ference playoff this year. The Trojans (12-2 overall) posted nine shutouts this season and lost just 11 singles and doubles matches in the Waccamaw Conference. West Brunswick closcd out the regular season last Thursday with a 7-1 victory over South Robeson at Southeastern Community College. The match had been suspended April 21 due to rain. The Trojans, who pounded visiting Fairmont 9 0 last Tuesday, are preparing for this week's indi vidual regional playoffs. They will be held Friday and Saturday at UNC-Wilmington. West's lop player, Lamarr Hardy, is seeded sec ond in the region behind William Swartz of St Pauls. Swartz handed Hardy his only non-confer ence loss this season. Also competing in the regional singles compe tition will be Caleb Stccdley, the number two player from West Brunswick, and Ryan Yount and Santino McLaughlin of South Brunswick. West's top doubles team, Michael Simmons and Michael Scllars, is seeded fifth in the region. Whitevillc's duo of Dave Eichman and Malt Young arc seeded seventh. "All of West's players have very good draws, and if they play up to their capabilities ihcy have an outstanding chance to qualify for the state championships next week," Gillis said. "Lamarr's number two seed is very much de served. He's worked very hard this year on im proving especially his mental game." Hardy lost his first conference match of the season last week to South Robeson's Scott Ransom, who is seeded fourth in the region. Hardy, a junior, is 12-2 overall. 'The loss last week may have been good be cause it took a lot of pressure off him," Gillis said. "Playing number one has enough pressure, but playing number one and being undefeated is even tougher. I'm sure Lamarr will work even harder this week." South Robeson Results Singles: Ransom (SR) dcf. Hardy, 6-4, 6-2; Stcedlcy (WB) dcf. Jacobs, 6-0, 6-0; Simmons (WB) dcf.

Lady Trojans Drop Two Of Three Wcsl Brunswick's soflball team continued to strug gle at the plate last week as the Lady Trojans dropped two out of three games and hurt their chanccs of earning a state playoff berth. West Brunswick's girls lost 6-5 Friday night at South Robeson to fall to 5-4 in the Waccamaw 2-A Conference. The Lady Trojans defeated Fairmont 13-2 in other conference action last week, and lost a non-conference contest at Pender 10-0. Both of those games were halted after five innings under the 10-run rule. Coach Traccy James said the Lady Trojans had just seven hits in their loss at South Robeson and four base hits at Fender. "We haven't hit the ball all week," James said fol lowing Friday's one-run loss at Rowland. "We're just getting behind early and having to dig ourselves out of a hole." Even in their 13-2 victory over Fairmont last Tuesday, the Lady Trojans had just five hits. Fairmont's porous defense contributed more to the win that West's hitting. James said the Lady Trojans have been hitting well in practice, but not during the games. He said West has a young team and the girls get nervous in game situations. "In slow pitch softball you've got to hit it and run and score some runs," James said. "We're not doing enough of that" Despite the 5-4 conference record, West Brunswick still has a shot at claiming one of the conference's three state playoff berths. "With only two weeks to go, we're going to have to win the rest and have somebody else lose some," James said. "We're not going to give up. We're going to hang in there." West Brunswick (8-6 overall) had a doublchcadcr scheduled Tuesday against visiting West Columbus. The Lady Trojans will travel to Lcland Friday to play confer ence leader North Brunswick. West Brunswick ends league play with a May 18 game against visiting East Bladen and a May 21 contest at South Brunswick.
