SPORTING SCFNF Trojans Open Grid Camp With High Expectations The West Brunswick High School football team will begin summer practice next Monday with a lot of hope for the 1993 season but no chance to defend its state championship. As a result of high school athletic realignment. West Brunswick will start competing as a 3A school this ' fall. Therefore, the Trojans will not have an opportunity to repeat as 2A champs. Nevertheless, many observers think West Brunswick has a chance to make its third straight trip to Chapel Hill this December for the state cham pionship football games. Of course, that's just speculation and wishful thinking among Trojan , I fans. Coach Jim Brett, for one, is reserving his judgment until he sees who shows up at the practice field Monday morning. "I'm not sure yet if everybody's coming out. You never know," Brett said last week. "1 think if all of our players come out and everybody is eligi ble we could be a pretty good team." If everybody shows who is expected to show. West Brunswick should have an excellent team. Brett could sec as many as six offensive starters and seven defensive starters back from last year's championship game lineup. Coach Brett said some football players have been using the school weight room this summer, but not with much consistency. Transportation to the school has been a problem and summer jobs have interfered. West Brunswick has put together what Brett calls an "awesome" foot ball schedule for 1993. All five of the non-confcrcncc games will be against 4A schools: Conway, Pumcll-Swctt, Hoggard, Georgetown and Lumbcrton. Brett says he likes playing a tough non-confcrcncc schedule to prepare his club for the confercncc games. "1 always prefer playing people who, if you beat them, you feel like you've accomplished something rather than playing people you're supposed to beat." West Brunswick opens the regular season Aug. 27 against the Conway Tigers, the team that handed the Trojans a bitter, season-opening loss one year ago. Without question, that was the worst officiated high school football game I've ever seen. I think the Conway parents wore the zebra stripes that night. The Tigers visit Shallotte this year. Payback time! Overall, the travel time doesn't look loo bad for Trojan football fans this season. Besides Conway, West Brunswick will be visited by Purnell-Swctt, South Columbus, Pender, East Columbus and Lumberton. Start planning your road trips to Hoggard, Georgetown, Whitcvillc, West Columbus and South Brunswick. Those back-to-back September treks to Hoggard and Georgetown could be a bear. West Brunswick is the only team in the Waccamaw Conference without an open date this season, which is probably good. Teams arc typically slug gish coming off an open date. Instead of an off week, the Trojans will host the Lumbcrton Pirates on Oct. 29 in an "endowment" game that won't count on either team's official record. The schools will keep half of the money raised at the game and the other half will go to the high school athlctic association. "To mc that's better than an open week," Brett said. "I've just never had good experiences with open weeks." West Brunswick is ranked fourth among the state's 3A schools in the North Carolina Prep Football 1993 magazine pre season poll Brett doesn't understand why, since this will be West's first season as a 3A school. "1 think the guy probably didn't know what he was talking about." Trojan Tidbits: West Brunswick will carry a six-game winning streak into the 1993 season. Two North Carolina teams enter the year with 15 game win streaks ? defending 1A champion Murphy and 4 A champ East Forsyth. Since its 21-6 loss to Thomasvillc in the 1991 state title game, West Brunswick has not allowed an opponent to score more than 20 points. The 14-game streak is tops in the state. Speaking of streaks, Havelock has not been shut out in 96 consecutive games. West Brunswick hasn't been shut out in 30 straight games. East Bladen was the last team to blank the Trojans, Oct. 26, 1990. The Waccamaw Conference played some of the best defense in North Carolina last year. West Brunswick, Whitcvillc, East Bladen and West Columbus were among the 20 teams that yielded the fewest points in 1992. The Trojans gave up 103 points in 14 games, just over seven per game. That was the fourth lowest average in the state. Tennis Ladder As Of July 26 1. Robin Dale 2. Ray DeVries 3. Sal DiFazio 4. Jerry Small 5. Greg Bland 6. Rodney Gause 7. Teak Hemphill 8.

Local Student-Athletes Attend Summer Institute Six Brunswick County high school athletes and four coaches re cently returned from the Student Athlete Summer Institute (SASI) held July 11-16 at Mount Olive College. Students attending were Madonna Gausc, Felicia Morgan and Joel Gupton of West Brunswick; Patricia Dunn and Cindy Holt of North Brunswick; and Hilary Brinson of South Brunswick. Area coaches at the institute were Martie Gillis and Brenda Council of West, Mike Dumas of North and Tom Farrah of South. This was the first year that South has participated in the program.

Highlights of the week-long camp included a ropes course, which fea tures a 40-foot free fall and zip line. The course requires students to solve problems and trust one another. The ropes course was ? favorite activity among local students. "I liked the ropes course the best be cause it helped me overcome my fear of heights and it made me feel good," Brinson said. "The camp was teaching us how to be a leader," added Holt. "It gave everyone the ability to be proud of thcmself."
