SPORTING SCFNF Harsh Weather Awaits West In State College The toughest part of the West Brunswick boys basketball schedule this season probably won t be those early games against Hoggard, Laney or New Hanover or the Waccamaw Conference clashes with those kids from Whiteville. Nope, I think the toughest stretch of the season will come December 28 and 29 when the Trojans participate in one of those popular holiday basketball tourna ments. While most area teams take the holidays off or compete in Christmas tournaments in nearby Wilmington or Fayetteville, West Brunswick's boys will take a much dif ferent path. The Trojans will pack their bags and head north through North Carolina, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Maryland and they won't stop until they reach the frozen tundra of State College, Pennsylvania. My only advice to the coaches and players is be sure to pack long underwear and thermal socks and winter hats and gloves. Take it from someone who has visited State College in December. There's a good chance you'll see temperatures in the teens and don't be shocked if you sec a foot of snow. If they can deal with the 12-hour van ride and chilly weather, the Trojans should enjoy their trip to State College, which is basically the city that grew up around Penn State University. Coach F.mmett I .ay plans trips to Penn State's campus and Beaver Stadium, home of the Nittanv Lions football team that has won two na tional championships and could win a third this year. I -av also hopes to squeeze in an educational trip to Gettysburg, the site of the South's decisive Civil War defeat in the North and Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The road trip to State College will be a long one and it may very well be the most taxing part of the season for West Brunswick. But at the same time, it will be a good experience and the one road trip that the players remember the most in years to come. Reality Check With high school basketball season opening this week, a lot of area coaches arc no doubt running around campus like beheaded chickens try ing to come up with a winning formula Ld McKinnon. the new boys' basketball coach at South Brunswick, enters the IW4-95 season with a somewhat different perspective and a good grip on the relative insignificance of basketball McKinnon was involved in a serious car accident a few weeks ago while driving to visit his mother in Rowland He suffered a broken collarbone and fractured neck when his car was broadsided by another vehicle that reportedly ran a stop sign. That s not the worst of it A child in the other car was killed McKinnon was fortunate that he only missed a week of school and several days of basketball practice.
