SPORTING SCENE Daniel Russ Subbing For Injured Teammate Former West Brunswick High School football standout Daniel Russ has seen substantial playing time in each of the last two East Car olina University football games. Russ opened (he season as a backup to senior defensive end Willie Brookins. but Russ moved into the starting role after Brookins injured his left knee two weeks ago against South Carolina. Russ, a sophomore, has played 158 downs in five games this season, an average of 32 snaps per game. He's made six tackles, assisted on eight others and is credited with two quarterback sacks and six OB pressures. Brookins could return to the lineup in two or three weeks. In the meantime, Russ will continue to see a lot of action in the trenches. The Pirates (3-3) will travel to Tulsa this Saturday and host Cincinnati on Oct. 29. East Carolina has a big game coming up Nov. 5 at Auburn. Russ started at linebacker and tight end for West Brunswick in 1991, when the Trojans finished 13-2 and were the state 2A runners-up. He was the team's MVP his junior and senior years. Former Cougar Shines Todd Vice, a former South Brunswick High School grid star, made the most of his first start at quarterback for Gardner- Webb last Saturday. Vice completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 302 yards and three touchdowns as Gardner- Webb crushed Catawba 63-19. Vice also ran for a touchdown and was named South Atlantic Conference player of the week. Vice, a 1991 graduate of South Brunswick, was the Brunswick County high school football co-player of the year in 1990 when he led the Cougars to the state playoffs. Harris Field House Major construction started last week on the Edgar B. Harris Field House at West Brunswick High. It should be completed in time for the 1995 football season. The 4,800-square-foot facility will include a ticket booth, conces sion stand, public restrooms and locker rooms for the home and visiting teams. The West Brunswick Athletic Booster Club has raised approximate ly $50,952 toward the total estimated cost of $100,000. Edgar B. Harris of Shallotte, a long-time supporter of West Bruns wick athletics, donated $25,000 for the project. The booster club raised $7,917 with a raffle and another $4,435 with a golf tournament. Boosters also have received pledges for donations of cash, labor or materials from local businesses in the amount of $13,100. At halftime of the West Brunswick- Whiteville game two weeks ago, the South Brunswick Islands Women's Club presented a donation of $500. West Spikers Close With Win At South n^i in Rutter Sports Editor West Brunswick High's volleyball team ended its season on a winning note last Thursday, beating county rival South Brunswick at Boiling Spring Lakes. Michelle Long had 20 service points to lead the Lady Trojans to a 15-8, 15-6, 13-15, 9-15, 15-10, vic tory. Madonna Gause added 9 points, Jessica Winfree had 8 and Felicia Morgan and April Mintz had 7 each for West Brunswick. Coach Brenda Council's Lady Trojans finished with a record of 6-6 in the Waccamaw Conference and 11-12 overall. "I was a little disappointed that we did not do as well as 1 expected," Council said. "The bottom part of the season we went downhill as far as our serving. We got worse instead of better." West Brunswick's only senior this season was Gause. Four current ju niors, four sophomores and five freshmen could return to the team next fall. "We had a young team with one senior," Council said. "I feel that we will improve if the girls stick with it. If we work in the off-season and work on our weaknesses we could be a pretty strong team."

FISHING REPORT Anglers See No End To Spots BY DOUG RUTTER Another week, another couple thousand spots. That's been the story for local pier fishermen lately and it was business as usual last week as the best fall spot season in recent memory con tinued without a hitch.

"I've never seen anything like it in my en tire life." Spot fishing remained strong last week at Ocean Isle Beach and Holden Beach piers as well. "It's been good. They've been bit ing all weekend the spots have," said Billy Settlcmyer of Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier. "The spots have been real good. They've bit for two days straight." Gil Bass of Holden Beach Fishing Pier said this season is starting to measure up to the excellent spot sea son of about 10 years ago. "This probably, if it keeps on, is going to match that. This is begin ning to match that I believe." Bass said. "They're just catching them up a storm, two or three at a time, walk ing off with buckets of fish," he added. Pier anglers also caught whiting, flounder, pompano and blues last week. Ted Paliwoda of Calabash landed a 9X-pound flounder Sunday at Sunset Pier. Tfipp's Fishing Center "The spots have been real good on the hook and line and with the gill net," said Joyce l^and of Tripp's Fishing Center at Shallotte Point "They're some of the biggest I've seen in years.

Land also reported inshore catch es of speckled trout and spottailcd drum. Offshore, anglers have been pulling in blucfish. "I didn't have anybody go out for kings or Spanish mackerel this week," I-and said. Ilolden Beach Marina ? Gary Can of Holden Beach Marina said fall spots are the biggest thing happening these days. Poor weather prevented most people from fishing offshore last week. "That's about the only action around is spots. Everything else, charter boats and otherwise, have been weathered out." Can said. Ron Ixak won the manna's week ly trophy for a 2.3-pound Spanish mackerel two weeks ago 1 ^ast week, nobody won the trophy for a king mackcrel because none were caught. "We haven't have anything excit ing happen," Carr said. "We haven't had a boat sink or anything." Ocean Isle Marina Fishermen out of Ocean Isle Marina have been catching a lot of spots, but everything else was pretty slow last week.
