SPORTING SCENE
Here Comes Big Phil;
Move The Fences Back
West Brunswick High made a very good showing in the Waccamaw
Conference track and field championships last Wednesday in Shallolte.
There was no doubt that White
villc and West Columbus were going
to batde for the league title. They
have more participation in track than
the other conference schools anil
some very good athletes to boot.
But the home team did well,
placing third in the girls' competition
and fourth in the boys' and winning a
total of nine events.
West Brunswick senior I rent
Johnson was by far lb'' class of the girls' field, winning the long jump, triple
jump and 2(X)-meler run. She also ran a leg on West's winning 800-mcter re
lay team.
Other stars for the West girls were Catherine Bell and Christy Thorpe,
who tied for first in the discus event. Bell later burned everyone in the 100
meter dash.
Among the highlights for the Trojan boys was a stunning, comc-from
bchind victory in the 3200-meter relay. Calvin Reeves continued his recent
dominance in the triple jump, easily beating the pack by 26 inches.
But perhaps the most memorable moment from last week's meet was
Philip Johnson's final toss in the discus competition.
An awesome sight with or without a discus in hand. Big F'hil creatcd
quite a stir when his discus hit the top of the fence surrounding the track and
field area.
The official distance was 156 feet, 10 inches. But everyone who wit
nessed the loss knows it would have gone 165 or 170 feet if that fence
hadn't been in the way.
No matter, Philip still won the event with plenty of room to spare. That
sturdy, chain link fence had probably contained just about every discus ever
thrown at West Brunswick before Philip came along.
Philip, Irene and a few other West Brunswick track and field athletes
have a good shot at placing high at the regional and suite championships
over the next two weeks. Stay tuned to see how they do.
No Poor Sports
The N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors ap
proved a new sportsmanship policy at its meeting last week in Chapel Hill in
an effort to curb incidents of taunting.
The rule will apply to athletes, coaches or anyone from a school in
volved in an athletic contest who is ejected. The change was sparked by a
statewide increase in eases of unruly behavior.
Anyone ejected from a game starting next fall also will be suspended
for one game. A two-time offender will be placed on probation and must sit
out the next two games. A third ejection will result in a one-year suspension.
The ejections will be cumulative. So if a male athlete is tossed from a
football, basketball and baseball game in the same school year he will have
to sit out one year from the time of his third ejection.
Ironically, all three of the county's high school baseball coaches have
been ejected at least once this season. South Brunswick Coach Jack Brown
has been tossed twice.
Until the fall, the NCHSAA will continue to look at incidents of poor
sportsmanship on a case-by-case basis.
In the past year, the boys basketball program at North Mecklenburg,
girls basketball at Monroe and football at Anson County have been placed
on one year of probation.
