Tro/an Football Team
Joins UCB Jamboree
West Brunswick's Trojans, winners of two consecutive state high
school football championships,
will participate in this year's
United Carolina Bank Football
Jamboree.
This will be West Brunswick's
first year in the annual scrimmage
at Legion Stadium in Wilmington.
South Columbus also will appear
at the UCB Jamboree for the first
time.
The Trojans and Stallions will
join six other schools that have
competed in the Jamboree since its inception in 1987. The eighth annual
event is planned Friday, Aug. 19. "These two schools were chosen be
cause of their rich football traditions and because of their community
support to this program," according to a UCB news release.
The Jamboree is a series of four separate scrimmage games. This
year's event will pit four Waccamaw Conference teams against the three
Wilmington schools and Wallace-Rose Hill.
In the opening game. New Hanover will face Whiteville. West
Brunswick will take on Wallace-Rose Hill in the second scrimmage, fol
lowed by Hoggard versus South Brunswick. Lancy will battle South
Columbus in the finale.
The cheerleading competition among the eight schools will start at 6
p.m., and the scrimmages will begin at 6:45 p.m.
United Carolina Bank pays all expenses associated with the
Jamboree, and the eight participating schools will share all gate receipts.
The money will be used for student scholarships, cash awards to the
winners of the cheerleading competition and the general athletic fund of
each school. In the last seven years, a total of $96,880 has been distrib
uted to the participating schools.
Team Of The '90s
You hear the phrase "Team of the 90s" often in world of sports.
Among others, it has been used recently to describe the Chicago Bulls of
the NBA and Dallas Cowboys of the NFL
Add North Brunswick High School's softball team to the mix. The
Lady Scorpions, in the midst of another fine season, have enjoyed great
success in the '90s.
In the last four seasons. North Brunswick has won 46 conferencc
games and lost just 10 with two conference championships during the
period.
Another league title is a distinct possibility this spring. North carried
a five-game winning streak into the week, along with a 5-0 record in the
Three Rivers Conference and an overall mark of 11-3.
Ulrich Makes GGO Field
There was a familiar name in the field at last week's PGA event, the
Greater Greensboro Open.
Gus Ulrich, the son of Gus and Marit Ulrich of Holden Beach, was
one of the tournament qualifiers.
Ulrich shot a 1-over-par 73 in the first round at Forest Oaks Country
Club and posted a 7f> in Friday's second round to miss the 36-hole cut by
four strokes.
The GGO was the second PGA event for Ulrich, who mainly plays
mini tour events. I'wo years ago, he qualified for a PGA tournament in
Williamsburg, Va.. and also missed the 36-hole cut.
Incidentally, there is a golfer named "G. Ulrich" listed on the leader
board of a golf video game I play now and again when I visit North
Myrtle Beach.
I'm thinking it must be Gus. There can't be that many Ulriches who
play professional golf.
